So this year has been a rough one, actually since moving to Asheville it has been a bit of a wild ride and not necessarily a good one. I have felt guilty because this place is so beautiful and filled with such lovely people, but my magic isn’t here. I have tried but I think the weight of history for me in this short amount of time has outweighed the good.
So yesterday I started a spring detox. It was time. I think I had tortured my body enough this year with doing everything opposite of what I should. Eating gluten, drinking too much wine, not walking the dogs and if you know me… I have to walk dogs – it is my meditation. I can’t drink a lot because it messes with my energy and moods – being an empath makes it all that worse and well, eating gluten – I look like a pregnant wolf mama about to burst some pups out. So yes… it was time to stop the spinning and reboot.
Back to where I am going… I have had this place on my mind for a while – a year to be exact, but I had always looked at places like Austin, Portland – places with artists and dog friendly and the thought of Idaho?! seriously? ok, so I sat quietly yesterday and this place kept coming back to my mind and I sat and researched it all day, the sanctuary – Earthfire Institute, photos of the land and the surrounding area and my heart was bursting and I was almost in tears. I can’t really explain it.
I can’t say I am not nervous, scared and honestly, what the hell am I doing? So I am moving to a place to volunteer? ha, I guess I am and maybe I can manifest a job with them too. Maybe sometimes you just have to follow your heart and it will all make sense, because my head is like WTF? I don’t know if it is forever or a stop on the way somewhere, but it is a place I need to rest for a while and let the mountains speak to my soul.
However, the beautiful thing about living in an airstream, you can always move … anywhere at anytime 😀
ps. check out these photos of some of the sanctuary animals. Gorgeous!
So as I was researching I was super inspired by this gal – the dancing wind– (her tumblr is spectacular too) who basically did the same thing and her photos are amazing. So yah… that is the plan. I have to work at job #1 and my shop to save up money to get there b/c my truck is a gas guzzler and hoping to find land to rent as well for the airstream.
Manifesting it all. 😀
Have you been to the Tetons?
what is is like? Tell me everything.
When I get there I will tell you everything and so many photos. I can’t wait to meet the wolves and foxes. My heart is bursting…
I am not sure when I will be leaving. My dad is working on the airstream as much as possible, but as old things go, this thing had a lot of issues that of course I didn’t know about. I told him my plan, so he said he would add more insulation in it for winterizing it. Hoping in the fall we can head out!
For now, I will be buzzing in my shop and walking dogs and dancing and most likely gardening.
Spring wakes up my heart and so does having a plan. 😀
ps. 15% of sales from le shop (ends at the end of March) will go to a great rescue in New York called Pibbles and More rescue.
I will be doing another shop update mid week 😀
