I live my life following the path that is set before me by
creator, my guide, my husband. A couple
months ago I was told during meditation and prayer that I need to start saving
my money. No matter how much I asked, I
didn’t get anything more. That’s all I
knew, so I started saving.
Then a little while later, I heard I was leaving at the end
of July. Where? I asked. Again, nothing. All I knew was that I was supposed to go.
As time got closer to the end of July, I quit my 3 jobs and
started giving away my things. My goal
was to get everything I owned to fit in my car.
That way when I decide to move someday in the future, it’ll be easier to do it. (Except for my oak desk. I love that thing
and my parents are willing to help me out by letting it live at their house
until further notice.) I started
going through my belongings and got rid of things that I didn’t absolutely love
or need. And then I made sure to get rid
of the things that were attached to my past, for example, all the things my ex-boyfriends
ever gave me and old manifestation paintings. It felt good to down size
so much. However, it was an emotional
ride for me. I didn’t realize how
attached I was to my things until I started going through them like a room full
of prisoners, recklessly deciding who was going to die and who got to see the
light of another day. I felt like I was
killing pieces of myself. And in fact, I
probably was, which is one of the reasons why I needed to do it. This is a time for new beginnings. A time to drop my baggage and fly … they’re
charging for carry-ons now anyway. haha So, after many hours carefully going through my things like an executioner, I succeeded. It might be a tighter squeeze into my car than I originally thought but it will all fit.
So again… where am I going?
Well, I have one target in mind that is a for sure thing. The rest is still to be determined. But I have ideas.
My first stop on my travels is Seattle. I’m here visiting a friend that I may be
traveling with for a while. We’re thinking
Central America. Though we’re both not
sure we want to travel with each other yet.
Because we both would like to travel by ourselves. Can you travel by yourself and with a partner
at the same time? I’m starting to wonder… Anyway, I’m here to hang out with him and
decide what we’re doing and perhaps make travel plans before I head to my next
stop.
My next stop is Bellingham WA. There’s a partner dance event that I’m stoked
to be attending and it is taking place in an old rock query turned circus
playground. There’s a swimming hole, art
installments, juggling, aerial silks and dancing… lots of dancing! I’m not sure how I’m going to get there yet,
nor where to stay while “camping”. But I
do know it will work out.
After that is when things aren’t set in stone... not even sand
yet. Haha. My patience and trust are
being tested. I freak out and my guide
says, “Do you trust me? Do you trust
yourself, Erica?” I forget to trust
sometimes. Sometimes when I freak out
and Creator puts something amazing in my path to assure me I’ll be alright. I like it when that happens.
So now I’m in Seattle. I
visited the UW campus and went canoeing and swimming in the lake with Ray when
I got here. I met his family and my
host. I got acupuncture done for the first
time ever. WOW! It was amazing. I could feel my energy shift with the first
needle. I may just have to learn to be a
practitioner someday… at least I’m thinking about it now. I'm hanging out and recharging after a hectic time getting out here.
I am excited to see what else will happen. I know that whatever comes up I will know
what to do as long as I take the time to stop and listen and follow. I was told that I would face hard times and that I must
proceed with care. And that’s what I will
do.
I have been facing roadblocks recently as I try to make plans. It’s either not time to make plans yet or I am supposed to make other plans. I’m not sure yet. I will know when I need to know. And when I do, I'll let you know too :)
