Seasons Change
Brrr…… Fall has arrived and the morning temperatures are in the forties every day. I am feeling good about it since I have been able to get my camper more prepared by adding flannel sheets (thank you Christine) as well as a light down comforter (thank you Target sale) and I am very cozy when it is bedtime in the camper. Things are going well with the continuing transition to the semi-nomadic lifestyle I am currently experiencing. I feel so much more free now that I don’t feel pressured to take care of a home, clean, and constantly be concerned with a yard/garage and all of the other tidying duties that take up energy when we have a home. During the weekend I finally broke down and got to the Navy Submarine base called “Bangor” and got myself a monthly rental locker at the fitness complex which is very nice. My favorite thing so far is the sauna, however, I have not used the hot tub or the swimming pool yet, but I have all of my gear and I am excited to get in the pool for some low impact training. Yesterday morning even though it was 45 degrees, I bundled up and used the track out back behind the fitness complex. While I was running and doing lunges and other fun things around the track there was big group of Coast Guard sailors playing frisbee across the really nice soccer/football field. I figure I might as well get outside and enjoy the sunshine while we have it. I am not yet fully prepared for the rainy season, but I am going to get some rainboots this evening after class because the rain is coming.
I can’t even remember when the last time I posted what was going on in my life, but things are going along smoothly. Schools is going great, I am learning a lot about myself (yes, I am learning massage) but what I am learning about myself is the most important part of me attending school. What I am learning is that I have a lot more to learn (ha,ha,ha) Really, I am learning that I want to do so much more with my life and not out of a “I need to do these things” attitude, but more from the place of “I want to continue to be a better person” and I feel the more I learn about myself and life, the better teacher I can be to others. I want to get more organized in my thoughts, because something I am noticing lately is I am a bit scattered when it comes to focus. I haven’t allowed myself to feel or notice yet what my focus will be for my first project. I have a good feeling though, it is coming through soon.
This weekend, I will be headed to the coast to camp at La Push. It is one of my favorite places to be - mainly because it is on the ocean and the vibe is so chill when I am there. I absolutely love falling to sleep and waking up to the sounds of the ocean waves and I feel so lucky to be able to camp there. (even when it is cold and rainy) I am going to use this weekend in solitude to allow myself the mental space to allow ideas to come to me. I am certain I will be jotting and journaling ideas while I let nature inspire me. I have a really good feeling that I may be paying Sol Duc Hot Springs another visit. It would feel so good to soak my muscles in the mineral waters and warm up - just thinking about gets me excited. I most definitely want to take a picture to post so you can see the beauty of the setting of the hot springs. I love it that they have a nice shower facility and you can really enjoy spending the entire day there - even when it is raining it is super enjoyable!
I am excited to see what this upcoming Full Moon on Sunday has in store for us on the planet, I feel this is a very supportive time. I feel it is a time to get answers we are seeking, our only duty is to allow our minds to shut down from all of the noise on the news, the internet and our chatter and allow spirit to flow more freely into your soul and speak to you. Allow nature to inspire you and remember that you are more supported than you can ever imagine. I have to remind myself of this wisdom each day. I am feeling very drawn to sharing my journey that introduced me to the other dimensions of energy, but I am going to allow that information to flow out in a feel good way. If you are possibly interested in hearing about “spirit” and how I learned about the other dimensions of energy please feel free to comment below. There have been many pivotal points in my life that have offered huge bouts of change and the day that I met with Lynn at Spiritual Uplifts in Jacksonville, Florida my life has never been the same since.
This is a great time to remember when we are faced with challenges or rough patches of life, they are only here to help us learn more about ourselves and we have the power to overcome and work through them if we truly take responsibility for our lives. This has been a hard pill to swallow for me, I have so much to learn. No one on this planet is “better” than anyone, we are all students and we are all teachers. See if you can go into the future and look at each person as a teacher and say thank you to the lessons they bring, this will help you navigate the rough times with a better frame of mind and heart. Life is all about learning and there is no finish line, only evolution to new chapters of learning lessons. I hope that you can live your day with love and understanding for anyone who is giving you a difficult lesson right now.
