“All things happen for a reason. Yet, sometimes it is easy to think otherwise. We create all that comes to us, be it good or bad. Today, I remind myself again, that negative thoughts breed negative action. Today, I practice the power of the positive in all things I do and say.” – Pamela J. Leavey
I love Eastport, Maine. It had been a dream to move here for a few years. Sadly, you never know what direction your life will take you in and that is what I find myself in the midst of at this time. Although I am excited about the prospect of moving back to the area of Massachusetts where I grew up, I will be leaving Eastport, on Friday with a heavy heart.
It’s been a joy to live across the street from my wonderful niece, Lisa and her family. They were in fact one of the primary reasons that my daughter and I moved here to Eastport. We’ll miss having family so close by, but the consolation is that it won’t be as hard to come to visit, as it was when we lived in L.A.. (more…)
“I seek not to direct the flow of my life, but to let the flow of my life direct me. I recognize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be, doing exactly what I am supposed to do. What I can change however, is how I react, when I am placed in a situation that may not be pleasant or comfortable. In that circumstance, I can reach into my center, and draw my energy level up, where it and I can act from the highest good – love. The key is to remember to act consciously from love, not to react from fear or anger.” – Pamela J. Leavey
“Your life is always a result of your thoughts about it – including your obviously creative thoughts that you seldom get what you choose.” – Neale Donald Walsch – Conversations With God, Book 1

I lead a busy life. I enjoy staying busy. Work to me is fulfilling because I always feel as though in my work, from my business to my blogs I am making a difference in the world.
In a couple of weeks, I’ll add a new aspect to my busy life — a job. I’ve been self-employed for 13 years. The recession has taken a toll on my business, so I felt it was time to make that leap back into the work force while the business rides out the recession. Thankfully the job hunt was painless. I found something quickly.
This Friday, I will be moving again – back home to the Newburyport, MA area, where I grew up and lived for 33 years.
I love living in Maine. I love Eastport. However, job opportunities are sparse here. I didn’t think when I moved here that the recession would hit even harder than it had when I made the decision to move to Maine late last summer.
It’s all good. It’s my “Mid-life Crisis Adventure 2.0.”
“Today, I seek to touch the lives of all whom I meet, friend and stranger alike, with a smile and a positive attitude. I will remember that, a smile and a positive attitude multiplies and grows where ever it goes.” – Pamela J. Leavey
