So much to be excited about! I had forgotten about all the plans ive had about turning 30. Sitting here in India it's pretty awesome to have done this as part of that milestone already. I would very much love to take a backpacking trip and ive been reading a book about a woman who hiked the PCT which is the west coast equivalent of the Appalachian trail. I want to travel through the west coast states and experience them. That is on my list. I am not so sure that i want that experience to be on foot. Especially because ive never been backpacking before. I think it would be amazing to hike the Long Trail in Vermont from early -mid September. I think that would be just as challenging but because its in Vermont it seems doubly rewarding.
I am considering for the first time ever, not going to Michfest this year. Partly because i am not sure if i want to work it, have a craft booth or just go as a festie. None of the options are particularly calling to me right now so i am just setting that decision aside for now. Up front and center is my desire to get into a massage program ASAP so i can get started building my practice in Texas. One program starts two days after i get back from India. I have yet to call and see if they have an opening. It would wrap up in october. I think i can swing it in all aspects, and if i cant- at least i tried! I will give them a call. SO many exciting things!
I think i mentioned that my sweet little guitar Luna broke her neck on the flight over here. Sad times. But, Mr Shak took what was left of her to the old market and so something no doubt will become of her. Yesterday Deborah and i went to check out a music store and there was a bright blue guitar with my name all over it. They installed a pickup for me in it as well. And it was all less than 100 dollars. Crazy. Ive been playing all night and am very happy to have it. Mr Shak is going to see if he can bring the strings from Luna to me if they are still there. Im happy.
Deborah and i are having such a nice time enjoying ourselves and the days as they pass. Its so peaceful and beautiful here and calming. Its like a dream sometimes. I am spending my days fully submersed in the moment which is anywhere from having a deep intellectual conversation to taking a nap on the terrace in the sun. The ease. That is what strikes me. The ease of life when you choose to be in the moment. i know it will be a challenge to bring this home with me, but i have faith that i am up for it.

Turning 30 was a big one for me too, it was weird but my views on everything seemed to shift. I embrace every year I get older but it seemed turning 30 was a big one. I still feel way too much like a child inside but at least people look at me with my wrinkles in my face that weren't there before and the grey hair streaked through my red and they seem to respect me as an adult finally lol
ReplyDeleteLove the new guitar. I think it was meant for you.
I love your treasures you found. So many beautiful things!
Remember when Mom wanted to walk the trail? It freaked me out as a kid when she would talk about it but sometimes I think how amazing that experience would be, the adventure and the connections made along the way. I can see why it may have appealed to her. But I also like not going anywhere lol. I have my roots pretty deeply set in this ground!
