Morning thoughts – brain chatter

This morning my thoughts are all over the place. The closer I come to leaving, the more little things I’m trying to remember that I need to take care of. I know my deep thoughts are being blocked because of all the brain chatter.

So if you would like an inside look at what my brain is going through this morning, I will just do my brain dump here.

What if I sleep in and miss my flight. How many alarms should I set and where should I stay that night. Lucy invited me there, but I have to hope I still wake up in time. The weather was supposed to snow, but it looks like it’s going to be nice now. Do I have to allow for weather or rush-hour traffic? How much time should I actually leave to get to the airport? Well, I’m not really going to the airport because I’m going to park at Skyview Parking so I need to allow an extra half hour to get me there. If the border patrol refuses to let me into the United States, how does that affect my plane ticket? Would I be able to use it to get to Dallas as a back up? But then it also affects my parking and insurance so do I get refunds? I’ll have to check with the people working and ask them how that works. But then why am I worrying about this because is that me accidentally manifesting having problems getting into the US? I have to go to the storage locker. Do I just go there right now first thing in the morning or do I wait until after rush-hour is over? Will I be able to charge my iPad once I get there because the plug-in isn’t right next to my unit, but then if I pull an extension cord, will they get mad at me? I have to remember to take all liquids out of my car because I don’t want them to freeze if the temperature gets too cold while I’m gone. I must remember my sandals that are buried in the floor of my car because if we have good weather I only have my boots. Is the best way to bring the Harvest Snaps (Canadian snack) for Kimberly in a Ziploc, or should I poke a hole in the bag to let the air out and then tape it shut because that would still be an original packaging? That might be the better option. When I get to my storage unit should I attempt to take the table down by myself and use it to sort out the paperwork so it’s done and off my mind because all the paperwork is something that takes up a little bit too much space rent free in my brain? And what if I find some paperwork or my journals that I want to bring with me? Oh that reminds me - I need to grab a notebook out of my storage locker because mine’s almost used up. Oh, and I need a couple pens as well because my purple pen ran out. It did come in a multi pack with blue. I don’t really want to use the blue pen but I have like 20 of them so I need to go grab a couple. Where will I end up having my afternoon zoom for Digital Growth Community Builders because the zoom is at noon and I don’t know if I’ll be done at my storage locker by then. But I don’t have to be at the library until 3pm for the room that I booked. I guess it’ll just have to depend on how my locker goes. But I should be listing my Dyson air purifier before I leave. Will I have time to list and sell it? I am going there Monday or maybe I can just list it for the weekend and then I can take it off the list when I go away. Which reminds me - I have to put all of my postings on hold after this weekend because I won’t be here and there’s nothing major left other than the kitchen cabinets. I could sell them when I’m gone but they haven’t had any interest whatsoever. Okay, I’ll take those off Marketplace too. When I get back, should I assemble the kitchen cabinets when I post them because some people want to see what they look like? I think they’re not selling because they’re still in the box. People are visual and need to see them. Maybe that’s what’s going on. But if they’re assembled, then they’re not new in the box. It’s a catch 22. I really don’t feel like assembling cabinets, but I’ll worry about that when I get back. But then how big of a deal is it really because I’m paying for the storage unit anyways, so if the cabinets fit in who cares? But I would still really like to get rid of them. There’s stuff in my unit that I actually don’t need that is for sale. I don’t want to run into an issue if I do end up moving somewhere that I’m going, “Oh damn I have these stupid cupboards I have to get rid of.” And then I’ll end up just donating them after I went through all the trouble of storing them for seven years. Why do we have so much stuff? Mind you I did buy them for a purpose. I just never got that purpose done because of all the bad decisions I’ve made in my life. I’m not going down that abyss… I don’t have time for that and that’s not what this brain dump is about. That’s a whole different brain dump. But then I think my bad decisions were the best decisions I could make at that time with the knowledge and resources that I had. Now that I know better, I can do better. So maybe when I go to my storage locker and actually look inside and see what I have, I can say, “Hey, if I have to move again (because I know I will eventually have to move again), what do I absolutely not need here - and I don’t need the cabinets. I don’t want them because they’re not solid wood and I want solid wood.

I should get up and get going, and just get to the storage locker so I can deal with the stuff so it’s done. What do I need out of my storage locker? I definitely need my sandals. Maybe I should just write out a packing list now so I won’t be worried about remembering what to pack.

Now that I have my brain dump somewhat complete, I can think of other morning thoughts. My brain is going the direction of friendship and how there should be some kind of structure created if I’m going to be staying at my friend’s for 51 days. I have different zooms than she has (and vice versa), although we do have a lot of the same when it comes to the Digital Growth Community. I need to make sure I have a space where I can do my interviews and my summit and also my other zooms, like my Monday night Tarot reading class, for example. There’s also the topic of growth. I’m only going to speak for me because everybody is different, but the past few years I have worked really really hard on finding my authentic self and integrating the lessons that the universe plunked down in front of me.

A few years ago I watched an Esther Hicks YouTube video. Esther had said as we elevate up, it is really important to remember we can help people come up to our level of growth, but we have to make sure that we hold a hand out for them to reach up to, but we don’t go down and try to push them up the ladder to the next level. People’s growth is very personal and it’s going to be in their time according to their soul contract. Also people are put into our lives so we can grow. Even though I may say I chose poorly in relationships, each one of those relationships definitely contributed to my level of growth in its own way. Now I can see how it all came together and how each took me to the next step. This also means I’m grateful for everybody who has crossed my path and taught me something about myself. What I realize this morning, and I was thinking about it a bit last night too, is it’s super important for me to make sure that I don’t step down to help somebody come up but rather I hold out a helping hand and they can choose whether to reach for it and lift themselves up. You cannot control other people‘s behaviors. You can only respond because reacting doesn’t work either.

So if my friend’s on a manhunt, correction - husband hunt, and I’m just open to a relationship, it can have different consequences too. If one of us finds a prospect - because anything can happen in 51 days - we need to decide how that would work ahead of time. I don’t anticipate either of us meeting anybody in Alabama, but we’re also supposed to go to Dallas December 5-6th for the DG Mastermind.

I think what my thoughts are here is we simply should have a basic outline so there’s no resentment or conflict. There’s also groceries, accommodation, gas - all those kinds of things that we have to decide how they’re divided up so both of us feel that it’s fair.

I’m on an adventure, and I have no idea where it’s going to take me. All the stuff is just plans and I know the universe can upheaval any of it in a second. When that happens, I’m simply going to look at it as redirection and say my adventure’s going another route. I’m not going to hang onto anything in a solid manner, but I will 100% have my plan. For example, with the DG Mastermind December 5-6th, I plan to be in Dallas for the live event. There is the optional backup of doing it on Zoom, but there’s nothing like the energy of life.

I plan on my summit being the following week on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (December 10 -12), and that’s what I’m going to schedule. That’s been redirected so many times, so please universe, I hope that’s the last time you’re going to change that on me. There was just too many events happening beforehand, so I would not be able to do it effectively.

When I get back, I also need to update my passport. I guess that would help me when it comes to proving I’m returning to Canada because my passport expires in August.

So it seems like my thought for the day is know my Northstar, and make sure I’m headed in that general direction. Make a plan, be open to any hiccups. Divine timing. Redirection. All these things are going to happen in this game of life. If I open my heart and my arms to this, life will be very interesting, and a whole lot of fun.

End of morning random thoughts and brain dump…

I headed to the storage unit, later than I planned. I kept setting off the alarm, which was driving me a bit crazy. It turned out to be a programming error, and nothing to do with me personally.

My insurance broker returned my call, and we sorted out some insurance needs on my adventure. I will use my sister’s mailing address, for the next 60 days, my car location will be the address at SkyView parking, I will purchase a full year of out of country and rest of Canada medical insurance, and I cancelled my homeowner’s policy. So that all got crossed off my To Do List. Unfortunately, the medical insurance will not be refundable. That is also why I chose a year instead of just for this trip.

I never bothered to take pictures or list the Dyson on Marketplace, because I didn’t need to add to my list. I will worry about all of that when I come back.

So I cleaned out my car, organized what I need to pack from my storage unit so it will be easily accessible on Monday, made it to the library at the rec centre for my Zoom, and did some work in my community.

So the big question is, “Is this is how all your brains work too?”
