Voice Mail, Boxes, Trash and Plunders

       It's rather strange to be doing spring cleaning as I'm packing.  Everything feels so nice... making me home sick already.  It's been a rather quiet day. 
      Don't you hate it when you are trying to call someone, you repeatedly leave messages and no one calls you back.  And we aren't talkin about a friend or lover that you've somehow managed to piss off, I'm talking professionals.  Not so professional to me. 
      However, as the day was quiet and I've puttered around putting this and that in boxes, I came to realize that it's really my issue and not theirs.  I need something done, and they too have a life to live, and who knows what's happening with them?
      I've been guilty of this myself...  in fact right in this very moment.  And while I may have "stuff" going on, I really have no excuse for not returning the call. 
                             BUT SO HELP ME!
        If I find out they blew ME off.. hahaha.

       Getting stressed with the move.  That's for sure.  It's getting down to the wire, and we can't find a house.  I am beginning to wonder if they have any normal size dogs in California, or if they are all toy arm warmers? 

        The one great thing though is that we started packing and moving things around WAY in advance.  Normally we wait until last minute and stuff is thrown here and there in a complete jumbled up mess, with things that end up breaking.  And... I get so overwhelmed that my wonderful husband usually ends up sendin me home because he can't stand my whiney crabbing anymore. 

        Here all this time I thought he was being oh so sweet.  Until I got to the storage unit to see what we were going to keep and what to part with... and what did I find?  TRASH!  That's right folks.  I'm not only talking bags of trash, yeah we had those.  But I'm talkin boxes and bags that had clothes um..."packed" on top of old pizza boxes.  Who does that? 

      Now I should say... this stuff has been in storage for oh... close to 2 years. HAHAHAHA!  Guess I wasn't the only one that was overwhelmed.  And I supppose he's still sweet.... I can't say I would have done any better.. I probably would have just closed the door and never went back! 

       Oh well.... better to have gone through it all now instead of unpacking it on the other end.  Could you imagine the movers faces had they gone to re-pack it?  Priceless. 

Maybe I should have left it, just to see their reaction.  

 

Say.... Haaaaaaay...... Key!

So.... yeah.  Got to audit a reiki class today, taught by my fabulous friend Sarabelle.  I've had the attunements for about five or six years now. I was part of a womens group... some may call witches... haha... we may say bitches...  but we were given the attunements as part of a ritual.  They were really quite powerful.  After the first, I woke up in the middle of the night with the palms of my hands on fire.  That was pretty interesting. 


Met a couple of nice women...  definitely giggled through most of the day.  Man did my butt SWEAT!  Guess the energy was really flowing.


We went on a nice jaunt to wake us up....

I really had to PEE!

Got to go down a street I work on, but have never been all the way down. 

           Found this......

Of course nothing there but dead stuff.... for now.  Soon it will be bursting with life.  But.. I never even knew such places existed... not here anyway.

It was really amazing to realize how my intuition speaks to me.  I definitely get a lot of information physically.  One of the ladies I was working on, I had my hands on her feet and I started to get chest pressure and heart palpitations.  When I mentioned this, she said she had been having that all day.  When I was working on the other one, I started to get some pain and cramping in my upper abdomen, solar plexus area, and she said she suffered pretty badly from IBS.  I also got that one of them had some issues they couldn't stomach, and some irritation, but that it was sloughing off which was what was causing her to itch.  Pretty neat stuff really.  When I was first attuned and I would work on someone, I couldn't believe all the information I was getting from them.  They were as surprised as I was when I started relaying the information back to them. 

Sarabelle had us draw the symbols, so they would essentially be etched in our brains.  She had chalk, and oily pastels and had us go to town.  I think that was my favorite part.  Other than the giggle fits of course.  I definitely like pictures... in case that wasn't obvious.

I felt great until I left the building... then I was EXHAUSTED!  I will definitely sleep great tonight! 

One of the interesting things that did come up was how our pets are extensions of us, and tend to take on our emotional stuff.  For instance... I tend to have very itchy ears... that drive me CRAZY!  It never dawned on me until that moment in class... that WOW... both Moose and Una's ears are always itchy and drive them crazy too! 

So... if you have pets... what are they mirroring for you?  For me... it says I need to listen more, even if I'm not entirely happy about what I'm hearing.

Mmmm Spring

There were signs of life today... it made it to 56 degrees here on the water. Finished up the storage unit way early thanks to having an unexpected day to work on it yesterday.  Got to go for a stroll with my two favorite guys.

Moose of course had to get right in the water, soaking my feet. The funniest part was when he decided it was a huge water bowl and tried a taste.  If ever a dog scowled, it was that moment.  He looked at me as if to say, "What the hell? Did you piss in my water or something??!" 

It felt more like a lazy Sunday, than Saturday.  With all the moving stuff, we've kinda fallen off the diet wagon.  Looking forward to the gym on monday.  Never did I think I'd feel that way. Remember those highschool days when some girls were too cool to participate in gym class?  Yep, I was one of them. I think I was more worried I'd do something stupid and embarrass the hell out of myself. It seemed to be cool to rebel and refuse.  I always watched the girls that seemed so graceful on the field, wishing I had their confidence.  I can't wait to post some before and after pics. I'm only down 20lbs so far.... ooooh 100 left?  I should have sucked it up and and played hard in gym!

So... tomorrow is a class... then back to cooking again. I LOVE to cook.  Especially new things I've never made before.  I do seem to be quite the kitchen witch at times.  Spring is in the air and on it's way.  My favorite time of year. I love to watch as things that seemed so dead are reserected back to life. 

Gives me hope.

Moving on Up..

Getting Ready to move from the very north eastern tip, Cundys Harbor, Maine to the very south western tip, San Diego, CA. It's a little nerve wracking, yet so exciting all at the same time. It had me thinking of all the things I will miss, and how very different they'll be.

We go from the rocky coast, and green water....

 To sandy beaches and blue water.  I will miss the serene quiet, and familiarity. Being able to head out, knowing exactly where I am going.  Being unafraid of where I may end up.

Maine people are a proud, tough bunch. They tend to keep to themselves, leary of strangers. Not to say they aren't friendly, but it takes them a while. It's a very old fashioned kind of place, where most people don't bother to lock their doors, or they leave the keys in their ignition. It's a safe place for kids to grow up and just be kids. 

I truly won't miss the cold weather... yet cannot imagine a Christmas that isn't white, or a fall wihout the vibrant, intoxicating color.

Sometimes though, life calls us in new directions. With adventures yet to unfold. He offers up his life for our greater good, and my heart follows his as I offer my life to him in return. Who knows where we'll end up... or what bridges we will cross... but together, I cannot wait to find out! There is no doubt that I will miss my hometown, but as the saying goes...

Home is where the heart is.
