WE PLAN AND GOD LAUGHS

I just watched the old movie, Evan Almighty. Evan, a newly elected congressman, wants to change the world and he has his own ideas how that's going to happen. When Evan tells God of his plans, God just laughs. 

This newest leg of my adventurous life was for a month in a lovely home in my old stomping grounds, Nevada City, CA.

I knew that I was leaving here, unless a job or housesitting opportunity presented itself. Not having the security of a place to return to, I spent the first week in depression (not trusting)....what's going to happen next. 

I talked with an astrological friend who said that things may not open up for me until Nov 27, the end of a Mercury Retrograde. While I don't get too caught in living my life by what's happening in the sky, I find it interesting to note.

The next few weeks, I was able to settle down and enjoying each moment, breathing through each panty-twist and enjoying my time here, while doing a tad of marketing for my work and visiting old friends.  Well, at least until a friend and neighbor to the house that I'm staying out announced that the owners were coming home on Tuesday! Yeah, this Tuesday, four days from now Tuesday! It was only two days different than what I had thought, but you would have thought they were talking about a month! 

Since nothing has seemed to open up for me and my not actually having any real plans, I decided to leave Tuesday afternoon and head back south, stopping in Oakland.

As soon as I let go of how I thought things should be, later that evening a friend called and told me that she had met an interesting lady who needed help with moving and possibly housesitting. I contacted the lady and she wants to meet on Tuesday, Nov 27 (After mercury retrograde. It's not good to start new projects during this time.) Of course! The day I was planning to leave!  Self-Care note: I told her that I needed to come and see exactly what she was talking about before Tuesday. My old self would have just agreed with her request. 

I meet with her today and my prayer is that it will be really clear if this is a job that is mine. I'll keep you posted:)  Happy Sunday! 

TRANSITION

After signing the papers to sell the house, there was nothing left in California for me. Sure, I have a couple of children who live there, but that can change at any time! I thought I was loyal to CA, but realized when the sun came out for the first time in about 10 days here in AZ, I wasn’t loyal to CA...I was loyal to the SUN....I’m a sun girl, a very fickle sun girl, who would leave wherever she was in order to live in the Light!

It doesn’t seem like it should be so hard to let go of a house and living status in a particular state. But with that comes all of what living in CA has been for me over the past 40 years. It is making peace with the past and willingness to move into the future.

I marched myself down to the DMV, (only 4 people were there, very unusual - 4 + angel support) got a number, 225+9 (Completion, for me CA). Would I just register my car or get a driver’s license as well? I’ll fill out the paper for the license, just in case....stopped half way through. No, too much trouble to get a new license...I’ll just register the car. I looked up at the number being served, 222 at counter 3....Hmmmm another 9. OK, I’ll get both!

Seeing these numbers doesn’t mean anything in particular, it simply is a call to stop, breathe and check in with myself....what is it that I’m really wanting to do?

Now this method of seeing support in a myriad of ways, seems a bit foreign at first, but for me, it is what helped me to move forward, letting go of the past so that I am now free to fly into the future.....with a heart full of gratitude....not that there are not still panty twist moments involved.

DOLPHIN ENERGY FOR MOVING FORWARD IN LIFE

I just arrived at the next destination on my itinerary, Huntington Beach, CA. The first 2 days had been overcast and as I was settling in, I made a conscious decision not to go to the beach. Finally today, the sun was out and about noon I started out the door. I got as far as the house next door but turned around and came back, deciding to go this evening, for no particular reason. Evening came and I headed for the pier, along with a mob of other people as it was the downtown open market. I walked to the end of the pier and looked out into the sunset and there they were...the fins gliding through the water! The dolphin! They had come to see me! (Evidently a rather rare occurrence) Certainly they came to see everyone, but for me, they had a special meaning. I had been initiated in Hawaii by the dolphin. When I returned home, I got a credit card in the mail for Evolve to Live with a dolphin on it. Then finally, my last trip to Chicago, I acquired my first tattoo...a dolphin. The dolphin for me have been a sign of spiritual support in my life that I'm happy to receive!
