“…is this the end?”

Friday, 10.04.2013

We wake up, say our goodbyes and start our journey to San Francisco.  Sedona was less than 24 hours and extremely beneficial.  Most people may be hesitant to be open minded toward certain things but I’d like to have hope that someday that will change.  I know how I feel at this very moment and it is amazing and it is all that really matters.  Live in the moment, always. 

We drove all day.  Stopped to see the Hoover Dam, which is an amazing site as well.  Finally got about 3.5 hours away from San Francisco and decided to get a hotel. 

 

Tomorrow is presently the end of our road trip, this trip that we have been on together for what seems like forever.  Forever in a great way.  Three days ago in Colorado, I was researching jobs.  As of right now I do not want any job that most people would consider to be conventional.  I have a Masters in Interior Architecture & Design, I have been teaching in colleges for the past two years.  I would like to get professional experience in the field, which would enable me to become the teacher that I want to be.  However, I cannot see myself working in a typical materialistic firm.  I want to be doing something that gives back; community development, sustainable design… I was researching many options; in the U.S. and abroad.  I came across a “job” in Chile.  A lady that owns a hostel is about to start sustainable design projects.  The first one being a greenhouse kitchen.  With barely any thought, I decide to send the email.  Within twelve hours I had a response. 

Tomorrow I arrive in San Francisco.  I have absolutely no idea what will happen after tomorrow.  However, I am completely open minded to whatever will come my way.  It has taken me awhile and I am still continuously working on it, but when you let go and accept that you can’t control everything that is when things come your way.  There is no point in stressing really about anything for more than necessary.  Also from what I have learned thus far, try not to stress about planning things out either.  Things come out of nowhere always.  Just live in the moment, the present.
