one of those weeks

This is just one of those weeks that makes me nervous to even think about it. It's crazy when so many things can be condensed into just one week - 7 days - and you wonder if are going to make it out alive. And of course, you always do, and it's over very quickly, but while it happens, it feels bottomless, endless.
this week, i have:

1. Finish novel for English (on page 135/320)
2. Study chapters 3,4 and 5 psychology.
3. Psychology exam on Thursday.
4. Start English research assignment.
5. PSYCHIC ESSENTIALS WORKSHOP on Friday!
6. Finish prep for the workshop (GOD, this stresses me out right now - There is so much to do it is ridiculous eg - content, supplies)
7. Organize around 50,000 readings.
   

I am not doing the show this week, which feels good because it's like a weight off my chest. I'll be back on air next thursday with a lovely interview with a client, and good friend, Arlene Soloman!

Vancouver was lovely. Shopping makes me so happy, it should be illegal.











i could drink his voice up

she's so pretty and she's so sure

Ok. Deep breaths. It's time to re-group. I know it seems like in all my recent posts, all I seem to talk about is how a lot is happening and I am not in control of these things. Well, that's how I feel. It really is overwhleming sometimes. Especially when it feels like I am continually not getting anything done, and my to-do list and inbox keeps getting bigger and bigger.
As Miss Prescot says - 'Either keep up, or back down.'
And I so want to keep up because, as I keep reminding myself, I want this. I just want this organized. I don't want this disorganized. I don't want this the way it is now because I am not able to give it my best.

To do:

- See English proff and try to make sense of stupid assignment that I really do not understand at all.
- English class till 10:00pm
- Do English assignment.
- Read chapter 3 psychology for class O_O
- E-mails: Respond to: Business advisor/ Workshop facilitator/ Relay for life coordinator/ Wellness festival coordinator/ Do reading follow ups / Client
- Update my reading schedules and finances.
- Interview questions for show - E-mail to carol.
- Read English required reading.
- Prep the workshop O_O


I was today asked to be apart of the Relay for Life event in Kamloops for people suffering from cancer! I am so humbled. They saw my article in the Yoga Tree and wanted me to come along. YAY.

I know I know.
Keep up or back down.

Time for starbucks before class to calm me down.

say what you need to say

"and so i sent some men to fight,
and one came back at dead of night,
said he'd seen my enemy,
said he looked just like me"


So guess what? I made the cover of The Yoga Tree! And I am so overwhelmed by everyones support. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You can read the magazine online at: www.yogatreebc.com.

Other than that, life has been so busy. Every day is full of: psychology, english, preparing and interviewing potential guests for the radioshow, e-mail correspondence, readings, organizing the workshops, and organizing my speaking events in kamloops!

It really is crazy how busy life can get. Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of things but tomorrow is always another chance to start things over. and that is what i am going to do because that is what i have to do O_O

at the beginning

this is the best place to start. this post will serve more as a reminder to myself, an eloquent to-do list. this is what is happening; i am getting behind on my readings, because i keep telling myself i will read my assigned literature readings for class in the 30 minutes before my sleeps. and finally, one week into my condensed summer semester, i realize that this will not suffice. i will barely make it through the three novels i have to read in 3 weeks if i do it that way. i guess i will have to set aside reading time every day. i am looking forward to reading on the road by jack kerouac but some of the short stories that are required are so boring to read. and then i have to make sense of it, and i don't want to because i don't want to kill it. reading can be a chore. and i love reading to death.

i had a consultation with a potential business coach and yes, i am going to do it! i'm super excited. it feels right, and it resonates with me on so many different levels. throughout my work these last 2 years, i've had the oppertunity to meet many different people doing many different things. and many of them have asked to work with me, to collaberate with me, and have humbly offered their services to me, and while i am honored to be the recipient to these kind gestures, i have never followed through. i am really picky when it comes to what i allow into my life. i am open and free and wide and giving when it comes to you. i will give you readings. i will love you. i will do what you want. i will make your life rich and empowering. and its not to say that i am a skeptic, but i guess i am "hard to impress", even in the realms of spirituality, which seems strange given that what i do is give spiritual readings. and there have been people who have come into my life and said "i can make you huge if you follow my lead" - perhaps not in those words preciesly- but more or less. and i never fell for it. it never convinced me. because there are a few things i knwo for sure about my life, and my future, and one of them is what my guide told me. she said "Malavika, your successes will come from your own work. You will not be carried into fame and fortune on the back of another individual. You must know this." and those words ring so true to me that i make my own good lucky, and i experience my own miracles.

and a business coach is not someone making me successful. she calls herself "robin" to my "batman" and i love that connection. this feels so right on so many different levels and it just resonates so deeply within me, and i am thrilled to take this next step.

a lady i met the other day requested an exchange with me - where i give her a reading in exchange for her services to me. she is a foot reflexologist, and i had a brief session with her yesterday and i did enjoy it. probably because i have a foot fetish and i believe there is nothing more comforting than having my feet held. But I'm strange.
I don't accept many exchanges in my work - mostly because it's about finding a balance and i have to weigh out the pros and cons. do i even want their service? will it enrich my life? is it equivelent to a reading? there are many questions, but i like this lady and i like my feet being touched.

but i think i will give my mom the reflexology session as a mothers day part 3, gift. she likes people touching her feet too.


i feel as though i am transforming. i have class tonight at 7.

in the end i want to be standing at the beginning with you.

sleeps

i am sleepsy. sleepsy. sleepsy. sleepsy. Who has a class that finishes at 10:00pm. Really? Who does that.

matthew and are going to be on our best behaviour for the next 21 days. it's kind of like a relationship detox. i am so looking forward to it. we are usually pretty great to eachother, but sometimes we take eachother for granted.

it's been a long time since i have been this tired.

psychic essentials is on the 28th of may. i am looking forward to it, and still developing content for it.
radioshow tomorrow :)
i've already had e-mails regarding readings from my latest ad in the yoga tree. that was fast! it's only been out barely one day.
i feel nauseous. it's not a very good thing to talk about but that is what on my mind. i like all my classes.

it really is time for me to sleeps.

a business coach and first day of school

i start the summer semester today. i have psychology today from 7:00pm till 9:50pm. silly night classes. i guess it's nice in a way because it means i have the whole day to be summer. but it also means i have to get used to studying during the day, rather than at night time.

auntie colbie and uncle tuff are coming over soon to play with april (their adopted niece). it will be really nice to see colbie. it's been a while. she's moving back to sicamous for the summer, but will be back in the fall.

i am getting a business manager/coach :) i've never really had someone work with me before, so this is a big step in the life of malavika. celebration time!

i'm going to make this summer such a rockfest <3

pale milk and rose

a tea party. milk and air and roses. white roses. i know what you are made of. you are all heart and bone and skin. you are colour, pale shades of pink and i remember milky mornings with you in my back yard watching the sun rise over the moutains.

and i have realized that i will go wherever you take me. what can i give you now, now that i have given you everything? i need a clear start. a new start. a new beginning. something fresh and clean and white and sincere. i smell like roses and dusk today. i am thinking of golden light. i just want to make something beautiful.

there is so much to be :)

psychic essentials - invite only

This is the first draft of my Psychic-Essentials poster. This is a private, invite-only workshop hosted by a client. It is my first private workshop. So far the count is 11 people! I plan to re-offer this workshop to both Vancouver City and the rest of the Kamloops public in September.

Z'omg doesn't it sound exciting? On some weird level I kind of wish I wasn't teaching it, and I was instead a participant. It's a good feeling. It means that it's going to be good enough for me, and I am hard to impress when it comes to workshops and 'Psychics'. And if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for you!

It is going to be so wonderful. Everyone will get a Connecting with you guides Kit (made up of crystals and incense and other wonderful things) and a moleskine journal! I love moleskine. om nom nom. OH, and pretty hand outs too.
