Berries Galore!
One of my favorite things about this time of year is the abundance of berries everywhere you turn in my neighborhood and surrounding areas! Every day that I am on my bike, I stop for a tasty roadside snack of as many blackberries as I can handle. You may have been informed by the news about the smoke coverage in Seattle and surrounding areas from the fires in Canada as well as a few smaller fires here in our area. The struggle is real and it has brought a very real appreciation to me of the simple things that I can take for granted sometimes like clean air to breathe as well as clean water to drink.
Updating on my transition in life: this previous weekend I was happy to accomplish more discarding - nothing crazy, but I did let go of a couple of heaters that I didn't want to continue to drag around the globe (one I had owned since 2010 when I moved to the frigid coast of San Diego) I recall how cold I felt San Diego was after moving from living in Hawaii for 6 years and I giggle, because now after living even further north San Diego is a tropical zone in my mind. (just kidding) On Sunday I had the best day because I got to give my outdoor plants that I have admired since I started growing them to my best friend Christine. She was super excited to take them to her home and give them a loving place to live. Any day that I can spend with her and her family is a great day. Tomorrow is Thursday and the movers are coming! I am very excited to check this off the list of things to do. To be completely honest, I have been preparing for a move since late 2017, but I didn't really know when or where I was moving, but I knew I wanted to fly. I can't think of a better place to call home than "home" Tennessee where I was born and raised. I am really excited to make my way back there sometime next year and hang out with my family and get to know them better and hopefully help out in any way I can to show my appreciation of all of the years of support they have shown me.
Things in life are flowing really well, I am itching for an adventure because I haven't camped (except for a parking lot) in MONTHS it feels like. I think that late June or first week of July was the last time I camped and that is just too long. Oh well, I will have my fill of nature before I know it. I am doing my best to write all of the inspiring things that are coming to me right now, I am thankful that this newfound connection to nature will continue to inspire me. It is already happening and I have a cool thing to share about that.
Back in 2015 I had my very first visit to a "Medium" and had a card read during that session. Not only did she "see" the move (at the time, I had not planned on moving, but weeks later I took surprise orders to the west coast) Along with "seeing" that, she also said "you will be so inspired by the nature wherever it is that you are moving to" I also didn't think anything about that, however, look at me now! That is all the time I have for now, but it is pretty amazing how life unfolds.
