A Joy that Unites

 Hello friends.  

It has been a pleasure and a nice reflective tool to share these blogs with you.  Thank you for reading.  

Today is the penultimate day of the 2019-2020 Partnership to End Homelessness AmeriCorps term.  I will be at a photo shoot for the Servant Center soon and then out to Peacehaven Community Farm for my final few hours with the folks.  Thank you everyone for being a part of a unique experience.  I have enjoyed getting to know you all.  

There has been challenging times, for sure.  I learn from my spiritual group of friends that just showing up and soaking up the energy goes a long way towards keeping one balanced.  I have gotten away from some of my spiritual studies and practices and so I plan to resume those.  As my friends said, "crack open the books", dust off my spiritual healing shoes and learn once more.  I give value, time and offerings for those who would like to receive the healing practices to which I undertake like Reiki and Intuitive Readings.  

I may say things sometimes that are not always timely.  Yet, those feelings were there all along and needed to be said, at some point.  I apologize if it came out inappropriately.  I have learned that sometimes when we don't do maintenance with ourselves that we can get off track.  I plan on spending some time in the woods and just enjoying. City life can be taxing.  Driving too.  

I want to make more personal close relationships my priority because I feel this is what we need more of.  I would like to side-step the bottom line and simply be with the joy that is our inheritance.  This will lead to even greater bottom lines without having to think and try and extend and do and tax and worry.  Basically, when we are in alignment with our soul selves abundance and joy will follow.  

I wish you well on your future journeys.  May joy and love always be present in your life.


Sun filters in and strengthens me, 

bringing a smile to my face.

Like yours, that I will never forget.


Until next time.  Love to you, and many thanks!!

The Forest Hums

I'm sitting in a North Carolina' McDonald's, close to Little Switzerland.  I've never been to Little Switzerland but it sounds interesting.   I was up on Roan Mountain last night.  I had a fire which helped to cook my mac and cheese and keep me warm.  It was a beast of a fire in that I got warm just keeping it going.  But once it was well underway it turned into a nice, slow-burning bed of coals. Yes, it was a cold night.  Fortunately I had my goose-down leaking bag from my 2003 AT thru-hike.  I do not think it is as warm as it used to be but with a double upper layer on and a single lower layer I stayed pretty warm.  My pillow which was a bag filled with rain pants and a quick drying towel was inadequate; so was my sleeping pad- a eighth of an inch pad that is only meant to go under a blow-up pad to keep from popping (My blow up popped a long time ago.)  I tossed and turned but finally fell into a long sleep.  The morning sun coming through my tarp tent woke me up.  I

Hop One Foot

 Hello friends.  I think of all the great writers from the past encouraging me on.   I have this foot problem again.  A weak ankle; an ankle that is sore from driving which has finally succumbed to the ultimate slow down- broke, fractured.  Can't put weight on- we'll, it has only been two days and I can actually put a little weight on it. It happened when I was on a beam about 18 inches off the ground.  I was looking for my dogs and I kind-of tilted to one side, lost my balance, jumped and landed with my right foot twisting.  It hurt and I was down for the count.  It took about 1000 counts for me to actually get up and make my way to the car.   So my planned hiking trip turned into a camping trip which was really quite nice!   Fortunately, I can drive and still make money.  There is an interesting thing about making money and competitors.  Often my neighbor will kind-of brag about his day driving for Uber.  I drive for Lyft and he makes it seem like he's making more money t

Tree Snap

Today, the sky was one black patterned wall of Strom, a almost tornado.  Eighty-five mile per hour wind gusts.  Lots of rain too.  There was a huge snap during the strom.  More like a pop or boom.  During my walk I saw that the pop was a tree that had fallen over.  Pretty sure not lightening, just wind and water and time for the tree to go.   Tomorrow I will work helping to saw up and remove fallen trees.
