Just got this book! Can't wait to read it!

The cats and vigilantes are coming around again. I notice everything is coming full circle. 2 days ago on Tuesday I had a meditation experience in which I was able to accept certain things about myself that I didn't realize I was suppressing. Part of accepting it was taking this cat (one of the only cats I ever said I wanted, it lives in Topanga, CA) and I held it and sort of put it into my heart. The next day, Batman and Catwoman climbed the Empire State building in NYC where I live. Is it all just a coincidence? Also the people who climbed the Empire State building were Russian (this is another connection to Transurfing Reality and parallel universes that I experience.)

@Charity Swedberg Thank you so much! This is priceless information. These sound more like the set up I'm looking for. Something quiet and in nature but close to nearby towns that are lively and artistic. I'm a bit of a mix more eclectic and romantic bohemian, so both types of nearby towns can fit. If I would look at trajectory I would like to be near towns where there are open markets, and local events regularly to sell, and then possibly move towards an actual store front. That was an old dream (the storefront) but I am not necessarily shooting for a permanent physical location for the store yet. Just thinking out loud that it could be one path to look at for me when deciding on where to live and plant roots. To be honest I also love that kind of vibe anyway. Like in California in the Santa Monica area you have multiple beaches, multiple fleas, and coffee shop type laid back vibes but you can "escape" into the mountains and have trees and nature, with the ocean breeze still in the air. In NYC I would say the Hamptons is also kind of my vibe, the slower pace, but hip and chic. I was going to say not necessarily "trendy" however it seems like the trendier places also have healthier food and other options that are appealing to me. I like options... but where I sleep and live and create I want to be a sanctuary and I like privacy so I can be as artsy as I want at home! LOL I can't stand living so close to so many people here in NY. It never feels private. I want to dance like no one's watching and Know for a fact that they aren't! LOL Thanks so much for going back and forth, it's making me think through this more realistically. I've been so busy with other stuff I haven't had time to really dream and think through it. I just put into to chatgpt to get me started and get some ideas that maybe I haven't thought of before.

@Barb C There is a town in canada where they film alot of the TV shows, and I always love that setting... Andie MacDowell had a show (can't remember the name) the house was beautiful overlooking the water. Seaside type of town, so beautiful.... maybe Cedar Cove was the name of the show.

Awesome Sauce! @Lee Simmons you may be the first person to ever break into Level 9!

@Sebastian Olga @Paula J gave some really good recommendations... I have always seen it this way, "Follow your Bliss." If your not sure than don't put so much pressure on yourself that it has to be so specific or one particular thing. I have many interests and have done many things in my life but still I am not done. I was holding on too tight that it had to look a certain way, or that I had one very specific purpose in life and that was it... it turns out I have a multitude of purposes and even more to give as I continue go inside myself and become one with the creator who is inside of me. About 2 years ago I started exploring things that I was interested in. I signed up for some free seminars to explore some of these areas more. I took singing lessons (this helps with voice trauma and Vagus nerve even if you don't want to be a singer), I took an herbal class, some business classes, a writing class, etc. Some things I enjoy but realized it's not a focus for a life pursuit. I kept doing this for about 2 years as I was doing inner healing and shadow work, and now it is all coming together. Many of the dreams I had as a child have come forth and helped put things into perspective. And you know what if I still have to tweak and pivot in the future so be it! It's not about rigidity it's about finding that in which gives you life! Another thing you may also find helpful, is just to start jotting down in a journal all the things you like to do. Don't put any constraints on it. Just day dream about what you remember maybe doing in the past that brought you joy, or things you would like to explore, or places you would like to see. I always say cast your net wide, dream big, and then you can turn that vision into micro steps that will help move you towards it. 🙏

This is so true @Christa Lovas ! I have always been an all or nothing person and that led to burn out... and you know what I found out... all those people I gave my all to had nothing to give me in return when I needed them! That led to even further burnout! 😂 But now I give myself my all. And it's not a pressure or an all or nothing, it's an acceptance that today my "ALL" may be only 25% of what it was yesterday and that's okay. If my all today is only to spend the day in red light therapy and meditation, then that is okay. I needed to stop comparing myself to the way I used to be and what other people take upon their own plates as if I was supposed to match it or do more. I'm learning today my plate can only hold "x" amount of social exertion or "x" amount of physical exertion, but tomorrow my plate may be a platter, and I can hold space for more. This shift in understanding what my "ALL" actually was helped me as well.🙏

@Christa Lovas Yes, actually I do, thanks for asking. I always thought I was very in tune with my body, but I was in survival mode... being forced to slow down and untwist everything has made a world of a difference! I have been getting diagnosis after diagnosis, and it is actually relieving to now know what's been going on inside my body. This untwisting came from doing all the deep inner work. So the balance of both inner work, with a focus on physical health (and not just nutrition and working out because I was already doing that, this is deeper.) Finely forced to go the hospital, and tests and doctors... when I was go go go, I only went to the doctors when I really had no other choice. I still don't have my body's entire system mapped out (more doctors, more tests) but boy oh boy am I glad... all of the results are so validating, including proving that I'm not crazy! 😂 It was hard work to get doctors to listen (the gaslighting is crazy. Do the research and push for tests you want, anyone who is reading and have dealt with the medical industrial complex.) But for real, we really have to learn to have that balance, and embrace ourselves, ALL of ourselves. Giving my all now looks different than before; it also has a deeper meaning - which I didn't think was possible because I used to be a type of nun! Giving my all means giving my all to myself and from that there is an outflow of blessings to others. I used to have it the other way around - Giving my all to others and then from that place receive... Now it's been turned right side up.
