San Diego wasn’t experiencing what everyone continually says is “the coldest
it’s been here in my recollection”. So much for my aspirations to be a surf bum. I went into the surf one day. It was big, I was squirrely, and after 45 minutes, I was so cold I required the assistance of a friend to remove my wetsuit. That’s happened once before, whitewater kayaking on the American River in December. I prefer Costa Rica! Dolce would not even go into the ocean today.
Nonetheless, in two weeks, I have experienced some great stuff! I have reconnected new and timeless friendships that will last a lifetime. In pursuit of material for my book on healing as well as my long-term consideration of SD as my future home (with a condo in Sedona?), I have attended numerous integrative healing events. The highlights include a Native American drum circle, a Reiki energy share (I am embarking upon Reiki Master status with level 1 accomplished), a crystal bowl mediation wherein I rested upon the floor and experienced both the beauty of the sound as well as the vibration, and perhaps my favorite experience: dance church! I attended what is often referred to as “ecstatic dance”. It was 2 hours of moving meditation in a safe, non-alcohol/drug environment. I’m hooked! The upcoming weeks before departing for New Mexico are full of similarly exciting things. This week I have interviews with several healers for contribution to my book, a couple of photo shoots (La Jolla pier and a bird of prey exhibit), and a visit with two children that I adore. Next week, I embark upon my course to legitimize this inspirational blogging and will soon be a certified life coach. My transition from my previous experience as a successful architect has been impactful. I know I will not re-enter my world as CA Associates. I am clear that God, my inner voice and the world is asking me to contribute on a more intimate level. Here I am…Thank you for supporting me, loving me and being a part of my life.

Namasté:
I honor the place in you in which spirit dwells
I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and peace.
When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, we are one.
