So. 2 major things happening!
1- I'm on a juice fast! Well, not entirely juice- I'm also incorporating raw fruits, veggies and nuts into my diet because I just don't do well without any sort of solid. Bad things happen-trust me. I'm on day 5 of the "Cold-Turkey" juice fast because before that I was on a juice fast but still having one meal a day. So technically speaking I've actually been doing this for almost three weeks but it wasn't working as well as I had hoped before so I decided to go crazy. I'm so thrilled with the results I've already had! I've lost 4 pounds, had more energy and gotten sick. Now that sounds awful but the sickness is just my body ridding itself of all bad toxins! So my lymph nodes are incredibly swollen, my throat hurts and my muscles are tense but that's only because they are trying to get rid of all the crap I've put into myself over the years and those places are where the crap gets stored. It sucks and I've missed two days of school and sleep, but it will be worth it in the long run! The rest of my family said they were going to do the same but so far it hasn't happened. I'm hoping they all really run with it because it's so, SO good for you and helps you detox, lose wight, clear up dietary, physical and mental ailments and just gives you more energy and stuff! I'll be trying to blog more often to keep you updated on my little journey :) Alyssa and I have been recruiting friends to do this with so let me know if you want in!
2- I'm going to Australia, mate! A couple of months ago, I decided to put a profile up on AuPair.com and see if I could land an Au Pair job somewhere. (Au Pair; An au pair (plural: au pairs) is a domestic assistant for children and housework from a foreign country working for, and living as part of, a host family.) So I was contacted by a lady who was interested in hiring me and we talked a bit and then I didn't hear from her for over a month. Needless to say , I just let that thought go. Until I was contacted by another lady (On a different website; GreatAuPair.com) in Toowoomba, Queensland Australia with a husband and four beautiful children who was interested in hiring me. So we started e-mail and Tuesday night I was able to skype with her and their current Au Pair, Mimmi, who is returning home in a week to start an internship! They were both wonderful and I had so much fun talking to them and getting a "tour" of the house over skype. I was able to meet a couple of the children and ask my questions. We then e-mailed the next day and officially decided that I'm going! We both feel very comfortable and are so excited at this opportunity! So it will either be in early June or late July- we're all hoping for July since it will give me a bit more time to gather funds, prepare, book a plane ticket and be approved for my visa. I should know by Monday :) There are a LOT of things I need that happen to be very expensive and I need them in a short amount of time.
So I created a "Faith List"- a checklist of things I'm trusting God to provide- A laptop, Camera, Visa, Clothing, Supplies, Airline ticket, etc. Plus things that I'll need once I get there- A Homeopathic doctor, a "backup family" who's Christian so I can fellowship with them, a Church and friends. Needless to say; Your prayers are appreciated! Anything you can help with is a massive blessing. I'll keep you updated as this journey ensues. Love you all!
