My intention for this leg of my trip was to meet with Sr. Edith about speaking at the LA Regional Congress this year. We’ve been in communication since Bishop Quinn had contacted her on my behalf to speak at the LA Congress. (A Catholic Religious Education Conference with 40,000 attendees).
Well, first things first! My first stop was a hair appointment in Newport Beach! As I was driving to Newport Beach, I once again felt like I had been energetically stuck in AZ and glad that I had the courage to leave. Driving in the back way, through San Bernardino, I thought, ‘Southern California feels good, feels familiar.’ I grew up here. Now it only felt good because I made it all the way to the beach without hitting any traffic! A miracle in itself!
I arrived early and had to put my feet in the Pacific Ocean. Remembering my time in Hawaii, I walked to the edge of the ocean and reintroduced myself, asking for protection, as is the custom in the Hawaiian Spiritual Tradition. I walked along the beach and then to the end of the pier, embraced by the sun. The wind, (Spirit) began to make its presence known as I made my way back to the car.
I met a friend in Huntington Beach, my old stomping grounds for a birthday dinner and received a lovely pedicure, a birthday present from one of my daughters. I then drove to Buena Park to pick up the key for my 2 nights stay in Orange County. (to be continued)
