Hello everyone... Thank you muse and others for the reminder of why we are here. My heart continues to go out to Cardz and the situation he is dealing with. I know he understands that I am always on his side and that we will continue to be friends. We don't always agree but we always respect each other's right to walk our own path and follow our own convictions. He is a very special man and has been very instrumental in my recovery. In large part because of his patient support I am able to be here to talk about my on-going survival and see the light of optimism that guides my future.

Well I survived my interview yesterday. I was not at my best but I think they may offer me the job. I am proud of myself that I didn't back out. I was struggling with a lot of anxiety about it but I didn't give in. I made sure I gave myself plenty of time to get there. I took a few minutes once I found a parking spot to centre myself. I did some breathing exercises and had some prayers and spoke some affirmations before I headed into the building where the interview took place.

There were only two people on the interview panel which certainly eased my initial anxiety. It was a bit of a challenge to dig back 4 years to the last job I had to provide them with examples to answer some of their questions. I've been self-employed since then and where I could I used examples from my work with clients.

I am now giving serious thought to whether the job is the right fit for me. Any doubt I have are not based on fears related to symptoms of my illness but rather concerns due to practical consideration. This is real progress for me and worthy of celebrating.

I have survived and come out with a stronger sense of my personal power. A power that seeks always to do those things that are in harmony with my hearts desire. A power that pushes me to take steps that are in harmony with my hopes and dreams. I don't need to 'win the competition' and take the next step because I can... because I've been picked as the 'best candidate'. I do need to 'win the battle with self-doubt' and make the right decision and take the next step because I should... because I know what is 'best for me'.

I have a greater intention today than 2 days ago to do what is best for me. I am more than a survivor today.... I am living my intentions.

I wish everyone the same sense of personal power today and always. Rockin personal power.... it pushes back the darkness of doubt and opens up a world of new opportunities... a world of new intentions. I claim my power that I might claim my destiny... that I may walk with empowered intention.
