Update from Oakland

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005

Well I am still living in Oakland in my lovely apartment. I have a new (old) bicycle that I just love, a canary yellow Lady’s Schwinn from the 70’s. On Wednesday, I took it in and the bike had a tune up, with new cables and housing, new brakes, new chain and a new back derailer. It looks great and I can’t stop looking at it!

As far as work, I am still looking and listening for the next adventure, life’s next turn. It is important to me that whatever I end up doing should bless the community. I am not “looking” too hard though because I am so enjoying the time off and the thought of being a “starving artist” and creating art all the time intrigues me.

As you can see from when this was posted, I still have a challenge of letting go of the day and climbing into bed. Late dinners and late nights are the norm that I am trying to break free from.

About two/three? weeks ago, I started the process of forming a group for “young Christian Scientists” in the Bay Area. Our first meeting will be in a few days. I hope we have a good turnout.

That is about it for now since it is bedtime.

Write me! I would love to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Rachel McVey

Take care and be BLESSED!!

New Apartment

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

Well, it has been a long time but I have excuses! Ha!

Anyway… I love my new place–it is close to everything including walking distance to church, the art center, Lake Merrit (Oakland), a BART station, the carpool pick-up spot (if I were to carpool to work) and downtown in general. I am working hard as always, taking an art class (glass fusing) and generally enjoying life–especially the new-ness of my new place! Life is a lot different than it was in Jamaica though. have to go now cause I’m tired.

The Latest

Monday, August 15th, 2005

Work (now that I have been there a month) is going alright. I file a lot (sometimes all day long) and other times data entry but it is a good job. My boss is very nice and so are the staff. She is an executer of estates and Conservator of person and estates, executor of Trusts, and many other things. We have a lot of clients, so it is a huge amount of work.

Well, it is 1 AM and I really need to go to bed, but hopefully another update will come along when I have more news to share.

Take care and be blessed,
Rachel
