Dear Destiny,
Damn the full moon. Please don't get any ideas or go in cahoots together. I trust you will be kinder and hope the next big adventure is just around the corner. Consider this me asking, (begging) please!

Dear Destiny, What's Up?
Dear Destiny,
What's up? You and I are both wondering the same thing. Well, for starters, my teaching contract is almost up - and that pretty much means that everything else in my life is up in the air soon. For real. I mean, I will have a place to live in Portland, but my reasons for being here are becoming null. So I'm continuing to look and apply myself elsewhere, but I'm hoping you have a plan or at least some ideas about what's next. So I guess that in the meanwhile, when I'm asked about "What's up," I will just smile and trust that you're handling the details. Keep me posted please!

Dear Destiny, It's cold.
Dear Destiny,
It's the first time in months that it's really felt cold. I guess the temperature is right for the emotional sentiment. This time of the term with students whining about grades leaves me feeling less than cheery. And this coldness, I admit, borderlines numb. I spoke very frankly with my shrink today and noted that the only perceptible shift away from feeling numb came recently when viewing a clip on HIV/AIDS work being done in Botswana. What does that mean?! Well Destiny, I'm trying to figure something out too; but the least I can say is that it has motivated me to expand my job search seriously eastward. So in case you're inclined to help me in this quest, that's the direction I'm looking!

Dear Destiny, I'm here.
Dear Destiny,
I'm here in my new apartment - still in Portland and still drifting a little. It is now halfway through the academic term and so the expiration date on my current teaching position is nearing. To that end, there's been no reply about the golden job I applied for (though I remain hopeful). So I'm here. I am trying to feel settled in this place and decision to be here, but after observing an extensive discussion on factor analysis today I'm even more convinced that more schooling is in my future. But where and when? Destiny, I feel ready for the next step now, so I would just kindly remind you that I'm here ... and actively waiting.
