What Now?

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am completed with all of my hours of massage school and today is the first real day that I have been free. When I got out of the Navy in January 2018 (on a Friday) I practically started my year long program in Seattle the next Monday. I am really excited that 2018, although tough as a bitch, was a year that I did the steps I needed to do to set up my life to experience freedom. Financial freedom was the first thing I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to be free from the chains of the system that is in place to keep people tied down and I feel like I have learned at the moment how to work around that system. My hopes and dreams are to create a life that is off grid and more in tune with the land, the food, the animals.

With that being said, I am happy to write that I had an interview yesterday with a retreat center on the Big Island of Hawaii and I am moving back to Hawaii for about 4 months starting in late February. *** I will be living on an off-grid eco community and volunteering 30 hours of work a week in exchange for living and eating there.

Today is my first day of my fourth Master Cleanse. If you are not familiar, this cleanse is a minimum of 10 days with the goal of giving your digestive system a complete break from digesting food. This 10 days allows your body to heal from the inside out and to get rid of tons of toxins from the cells and mucus that lines the digestive tract that causes our systems to not work properly. If you are interested in the details I would suggest visiting www.themastercleanse.org for the best information. I have completed the cleanse three times prior and I love the way I feel, but most importantly, I love the idea of learning to face my addictive behaviors that I am kind of tired of controlling my life and my actions. Physically I feel great, but the emotional, spiritual and mental strength that comes from doing this cleanse is the real pay off for me because that to me is the foundation of living a better and more aware life.

I added this picture of a lovely part of my holiday break with friends & family as a prime example of why I need to hit the reset button and do a cleanse. I love the taste of tasty food and I enjoyed alcohol over the holiday break. I am ready to give my body some self love and a restart to feel more vibrant and more aware. I wanted to have a clear head before I head up to Canada in a few weeks for a week long meditation retreat. I can share more about that event soon.
