The Gift of Travel

The Gift of Travel.....

We’ve been on the road now for nearly a month, it’s amazing how the time flies along with the miles.  We travel in an RV, so we have our own little casita on wheels that allows us to venture forth and stop when and where we choose, as well as, eat in or out, and sleep in our own bed! A fabulous way to travel and experience life.

From the sandy beaches and rugged desert of San Carlos into more desert, as well as, pine forests in Arizona we trekked into Utah. One of the highlights for me so far was the night we spent in Canyonlands National Park in Utah surrounded by huge, colorful, sacred rocks.  As I climbed upon them they whispered to me of the wisdom of the Ancients.  The Wise Ones spoke of their travels, the collection of healing plants, and said they would reveal more information to me in my dreams.  I hope I can remember............This experience took me deeper into a life as a native American healer and teacher.  Many such experiences have led me to where I am today, and support me in my deeper connection to and respect for Mother Earth.  She who nurtures us and teaches us to nurture and nourish ourselves.  As we connect to nature around us we become grounded in the present moment and experience more of All That is there for us.  Each sacred step leads us to further information and remembering of who we truly are.  We are amazing BEings of light and love, and we are here to share that light and love.  

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I ask for assistance, guidance, shielding and protection from the angels, fairies and guides as we travel.  Their support was greatly appreciated as we neared Flagstaff, Arizona traveling at a high speed on the interstate when 2 large bull elk decided to run across the road.  My husband on short notice with a scream from me was able to slow a little as one darted barely crossing in front of us and the other behind us also missed by the vehicle behind us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

They also help with repairs at times.  Our night in Canyonlands left us without any hook ups.  I love my morning cup of coffee, but as we attempted to start the generator it refused to fire up.  Bummer....we thought we’d have to find a dealer and get it repaired.  As we drove that day I asked for mechanical assistance for the generator.  That night when we stopped, we tried again to start it, and it started right up.  Amazing, not really! They’re always there for us, we just need to ask.  And they also help with whatever we ask for.  In Utah at Bear Lake a huge mass of mosquitos appeared in front of us. I told my husband to put on his cloak of invisibility (term from Harry Potter), which he did. And the pesty fliers disappeared.  Experiences such as these also help those who don’t really believe to believe!

We welcomed the coolness of Colorado, and expressed gratitude for the rains that assisted in stopping the raging wildfires.  We viewed some of the damaged areas and marveled at the many homes that were saved by brave, hard working firemen.  Another example of the cleansing taking place throughout the world.  

After a short time of “taking care of business” in Colorado we hit the road again in our new smaller RV, a Siesta made by Thor.  We love it! It’s just what we wanted, a little smaller, better gas mileage, more power for towing and climbing mountain passes, but with room to live quite comfortably.

Nature’s beauty and diversity continues to astound me and I deepen my connection with all that surrounds me.  Here’s a message:  Although the way ahead may seem foggy right now, persevere and continue on your sacred path. Walk through the mist trusting that you’re on the right path and soon the sunlight will shine brightly and open up the way more clearly for you.  Now, it’s important to surrender to the process and allow it to unfold as you stay grounded and centered in the precious present.  Memories that come up are old layers on their way out of your consciousness.  Don’t hold on to them.  Forgive anyone who may appear and bid them love and light to help them find their own way.  Allow them that privilege of self discovery.  Accept all that you are with love, gratitude and appreciation.  Plant your feet firmly in the “new” as you take step by step forward.  You are always surrounded by angels and guardians.

We also drove where dinosaurs trod and huge sea creatures swam in a tropical sea to be replaced now with pine forests  and aspen trees at an elevation of over 6,000 feet. Another message: Through the ups and downs of life many opportunities present themselves and it’s only up to you how you choose to react to and participate in them.  Nobody else can choose but you.  Choose wisely.  Time is of the essence now. 

Moving into Idaho we visited a Heritage center for Sacajawea.  Again, past lives as a young native American woman surface, and I’m asked to write about the spirituality of this young woman.  I hope I can rise to the challenge.....

We follow the Salmon River into Montana...I express great gratitude for this opportunity to fill my senses with nature’s greatness.    Then we swing back into Idaho and follow the Locsha and Clearwater Rivers. The water runs swiftly and so clearly, what a purifying force to see and experience...another gift of nature.  We try to imagine how Lewis and Clark maneuvered these mountain passes and winding valleys.  They had wonderful support and help from natives that lived in the area such as the Nez Pierce.  

And again we’re grateful for the opportunity to explore scenic by-ways and the less traveled way that takes us on adventures into the forest and offers a closer connection to Mother Earth.  Now in Washington we’ll slow down and spend some time with my brother, his wife and my mother.

I’ll continue to listen to the whispers from my past, from my High Self and from all the angels and archangels that surround me....I’ll take care of and nurture myself, as I know that my light touches many around me.....off to more adventures!
