On Top of The World
Today I am not exactly "on top of the world" but really at the most northwest point of the United States called "Cape Flattery." I am specifically staying a few days on Makah Indian Reservation. Something I have learned from living here in Washington is the Native Tribes have the best beaches and they make a nice business out of allowing the public to camp for a small on the land. This particular place is a pretty good drive down a sketchy road, so if you visit here is it like Hana, Maui..... You want to stay a few days to make the trek worth your while.
Yesterday, was the walk through at my home with the nice woman who stages the home for selling. There is not a lot that I have to improve/change for the sell. Luckily I have only lived there a short while & haven't accumulated to many things. It went very smooth & I was able to hit the road after that appointment. I didn't get here to the beach until after 10pm, but I don't feel bad for arriving late because upon my arrival the party going campers had a phenomenal fireworks show that was extremely loud & beautiful. Had I arrived earlier, I would have been asleep and probably scared shitless being awaken by the fireworks.
The weather is around 60 degrees today (It's July 6th!!). There is a mist of Pacific Northwest rain in the air which is a good thing for me, because I need to settle down. The upcoming sell of the house has had me getting lots of little things done in a short amount of time. Honestly, in my past I thrived on the pressure of a "to-do" list, but these days I am pretty happy chilling out and slowing down in order to be more in tune with the natural flow of life. I am really working on the art of allowing things to happen in a way that always feels good instead of always being on edge trying to push my way through circumstances. I continue to tell myself that everything will work out just the way it should even if I feel there is more that I could do to help the matter. I am physically feeling better just by getting away from that property. I didn't realize the energy that I was getting from just continuing to live in that home. There are a lot of my past negative emotions and habits that have formed that I am not wanting to take into my future. I am realizing more each day how letting go of more things in life can cause so much peace.
I truly feel that we go through different chapters in life like a book reads. Each chapter has a different title and a little bit different story, however, they all tie together to make up the story of your life. I am very happy to be finishing up the chapter of living in the perfect little neighborhood of Manette. It has been a lovely experience, but it's time for me to write a new chapter and this new chapter is starting out with no expectation in mind except to expand my consciousness and become more in tune with the intelligence that guides us all on the planet. I want to listen more and be more aware of the path for me that is most beneficial for the entire universe. I feel that every person has a very unique path that has the ability to make them happy & change the world for the better. I am so grateful to be living in a time when the energy and technology & consciousness supports this freedom.
I will close with a beautiful message from page 95 of Dr. Wayne Dyer's book Change your thoughts -change your life. "Be here in your mind as well as in your body , in a state of appreciation and an absence of longing. Let go of wondering about doing the right thing. Release the what ifs and the goals of your future, replacing them with the power of this instant. Be here and remember to do it now, for thinking about being someplace else uses up your precious present moments."
My wish is for my life to be lived in the Now in the precious moments that I have on earth, never again be longing for the future or to be somewhere that I am not.
