So it’s been a couple of weeks since I have been back from the US on one extraordinary experience!
So how has life been since the past couple of weeks since I returned you might think. Let me share …
- No sooner had I landed, I receive a phone call from one of my daughter’s .. “can I now have my surgery now that you are back from your life experience” she asks. So bearing in mind, she is on the public system list awaiting surgery for her back since March. My response .. “sure!” So in her words “I will get my peeps to talk with your peeps” she hung up. Next day she calls “well they must have had a great conversation, as I have just received a call, surgery is scheduled for 1st November”. So for those wondering whom the peeps are .. it is our code for our “guides” or simply put, “Universe” not limiting ourselves! Ask, and you shall receive!
- So with a week and a bit, I have been getting re-acquaintaned with life back at work and home, catching up with different people. All the while, when asked, I have been sharing the stories of my CSC and Road trip experiences, sharing photos and videos, reliving my experiences every day since I got back. I have realised through the reliving of my experiences that it is going to take some time to get back into the norm day of life, whatever that means. I have honored myself by feeling what I’m feeling, and letting my imagination go where it needs to go.
- 11 days after getting home, I find myself back on open road, driving to Brisbane, Queensland, a 12 hour journey. I soon feel at home on the road taking in the time-out with my thoughts, my feelings, and the highway in front of me. Oh how I love being on the road, taking in the sights and scenery that Mother Earth has to offer.
- My daughter’s surgery has happened, all went ok which is a blessing. Since Thursday it has been a blend of working and looking after my daughter in the hospital. So times are a busy!
Sitting in the hospital watching movies in between caring for my daughter, and one favorite that was on was “The Pursuit of Happyness” with Will Smith. With the movie being in San Francisco, based on a biographical of Chris Gardner’s year of struggle being homeless, this movie brought up memories for me of my time there. With the homelessness that I witnessed, the meals at Glide I served to the people like Chris, all the feelings and memories re-felt. All little signs from Universe that when things settle down and I eventually get home, that I explore what Not for Profit (NFP) and cause I would like to explore, to help with. So many options, but I’m sure I will be guided when the time is right. For now, I’m needed by the family, so that is where the focus is.
Every day matters, it’s just how you approach it, how you start your day thinking and feeling that can make a difference. I was inspired this morning and put the following words with one of my pics taken in Sedona. Honour thyself and be kind. Enjoy!
