Mysterious Mexican Journey

Fitting Name for My Place of Stay

My call to Mexico was very different from my previous journeys of the past 15-20 years. For the first time, on my tropical quest, I’d be adventuring to an area knowing that it wasn’t “my place”. Yet, when my friend invited me for a visit, something stirred inside urging a yes. When I was able to line up a work exchange starting after our time together, the trip was put into play. I mused that, perhaps, I was supposed to meet someone. Maybe I was to help someone. Potentially puzzle pieces in my life might fall in place as I was called to the Riviera Maya. What actually was in store was beyond what I imagined.

Just confirming - bare feet

Thanks to my gracious host, I got to explore so many marvels. Beachgoing was a given although I needed to put a bit of effort into appreciating beyond the sargassum lined shores.

Mysterious subterranean caves, thousands of years in the making, revealed multicolored birds, clouds of bats, frogs, snakes and other critters. Spectacular cenotes, both beneath the surface of the earth and upon it, featured many shades of blue and invited their own wildlife. Ancient Mayan ruins echoed times mostly forgotten and fantastically extended on and on clearly beyond that which was unearthed. Vast and varied were the creatures I encountered including agoutis, coati, fox, raccoons and deer. 

Are you lookin' at me?

Can't see me!

Gaze up at the peak.

Just monkeying around

Look closely at whose scaling the palm!

 I was in an environment that felt welcome, warm, safe, and comfortable. It was then that it seemed the Hounds of Hell were unleashed. What came next for me was one experience after another that shook everything I knew – everything I was – everything in my current world of belief. Subjects I thought I’d mastered decades ago reared their ugly heads in full on assault. This was compounded a thousandfold by thoughts and feelings that were clearly not mine (at least not this current me) down to phrases I couldn’t have made up seemingly totally irrelevant to me. Beyond that, I do not wish to relive the specifics by recounting and it would not be helpful to you save to satisfy mere curiosity perhaps.

For those with whom it was appropriate to share, I have been saying for years that basically this is the end of the world – as we know it. Every system that is created by man is clearly dysfunctional. The old ways cannot exist with the new. Yes, there is loving integration, to some extent, but most people will only be aware of the reality of their choosing and beliefs (consciously or un). Inevitably, change is uncomfortable for most humans even if they know it must (obviously) happen to truly live in the magnificent world they desire. While many of the changes are quite visible, and people are forced to deal with them in some fashion, far more are on an energetic level. That can be a little tougher because the mind is totally out of its league trying to interpret and deal with that realm. It seems the latter is where the attack I experienced came from. Down I’d spiraled to a very dark place but was still, even at the lowest point, able to muster a glimmer of loving acceptance. As I came out of it slowly – over days, I wondered was this why I came to Mexico? To face inner demons I thought I’d permanently dealt with long ago? To somehow help with the energetic shift the entire planet is experiencing? I could hardly fathom a favorable explanation for the whole experience. Yet, I knew I had chosen it (clearly on a higher than mere human level) for a positive reason.

Then I remember, this IS the Year of the Snake with a theme of huge

Magnifissscent creature (rescued)

transformation (whether we like it or not)! Time to shed yet another skin? Perhaps I’ve been re-calibrated? Am I now at a higher vibrational state? I’m still regaining my bearings – or learning new ones - as I relocate to my beachfront work exchange situation. Maybe I’ll have some profound aha or breakthrough to share with you down the road. For now, huge kudos and appreciation to my compassionate and caring zen host who went above and beyond the call of kindness to help me through that unanticipated ordeal.

As you may be aware, I have been a distributor for Juice Plus and Tower Garden for about 25 years. Even now, I believe they have fantastic products – the only reason I would have touched a multi-level marketing company in the first place with less than a 10 foot pole. However, the company has been making lots of changes over the years. While change is good and (obviously) necessary, they have not all been for the better in this case. I was not able to access my back office to help my customers. Numerous times, I’d be on 1-2 hour holds and still not get my issues resolved. For months, clients would click on my links and be greeted with a banner indicating that they were shopping with (my upline person). I gave up after 6 months trying to place an order for a client without success. For decades I have been stepping up my game in life. I’ve been doing my best not to be around people who don’t respect or honor me as I deserve. It was past time to be putting up with a company that didn’t respect me. I made excuses like the products are beneficial and I could be helping people with them. One of the biggest reasons I held on years longer than probably prudent is that I didn’t want to let valued customers down that had been faithful to me for decades. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I was where I was (in my Mexican ambush so to speak) when the renewal notice came in. At first, the old concern for my customers (who are also my good friends) came up. But I knew that they wouldn’t want me staying in a disrespectful situation on their behalf.

Thank you all who have supported my Juice Plus / Tower Garden venture over the
years in any way, shape, or form. I trust it has enhanced your health in some manner. I also have no doubt you will find alternative, equally effective or better, ways of supporting your well-being in the future.

I know there are a few of you out there that only opened my blog post for these cutes of my precious little grand guy. This kid charms and lifts so many peoples' spirits, including yours truly, with one sweet smile! This is my gift to you in the wonderful "Present". 

Yes, chocolate is essential!

Thank YOU all for being my family, friends, fans, teachers, and supporters over the years. Welcome to any that may have just jumped on the rollercoaster with me! I hope sharing my experiences has helped you re-member, inspired you to take action, or simply entertained you. I am so grateful knowing I have friends everywhere!

And so the Mermaid swims on.....

Voyaging

Fun blast from past

Not long ago, someone commented that something I said wasn’t the absolute truth. I immediately agreed – see previous posts (Communication and Technology and Reeeally?? ) It isn’t important that I am right or that the specific words I say are absolute truth. What is important to me is I am in integrity and speaking from the heart. The proof in the pudding, for me, is not about the purity of my human words, but the “positive” results I observe when people choose to go with certain ideas and suggestions I’ve shared. Those who listen from their heart, and with pure intent, will find the light and value shared from my heart to theirs. In this spirit, I hereby continue my mer-musings….

Close to Ring Discovery Spot

I had an opportunity to spend a little time in familiar Ventura, California. Along with a number of other synchronicities, I found myself on the very same beach I magically divined my mysterious heart shaped ruby ring buried in the sand Magic and Miracles. One challenge for me is to stay in appreciation as the

beaches in California don’t fit my preferences for a beach. In order to enjoy my surroundings, I had to acknowledge that I don’t always get what I want but I get what I need. 😉 I have a choice to see the beauty in the current experience or note the non-desirability. One might think this a simple choice. While it may be simple, for me, it is not always easy. Often, I need to make the conscious choice to enjoy a dozen times per hour. If you find yourself in not the most desirable situation, you have choices too. You can take action to change your situation. Sometimes, that option lies only within ourselves. The good news is that is our place of greatest power….. the Universe within.

My precious grandson, Carter, brought (and continues to bring) me the greatest joy. His infectious smile, his angelic slumber, his determined curiosity and enthusiasm – all change the energy in my life and the world. There were moments when he pauses and seems

to remember all that was before. Carter's eyes can pierce into one’s heart and remind them what is important. Hope springs strong as I interact with this Little Master, as well as being aware of so many children like him that are powerfully reshaping the world into a brighter place.

In previous post From Atlantis to Lemuria and Beyond you read about my 

amazing upcoming one way cruise. The point of origin being Hawaii and the disembarkation port in French Polynesia. I’d hoped to line up a work exchange situation that would allow me to stay In Tahiti, Moorea, or one of the other surrounding islands for 3 months. It so happened I was not able to line up all my ducks by the date I’d set for it to happen. Being so close to cruise departure, it brought me peace to explore alternate arrangements. As a result, I have not only one 14 day tropical cruise ahead, but two! With a dear friend’s participation and other angels’ contributions, I will be doing the reverse cruise on the same ship – going back through French Polynesian

Islands and revisiting…..Lemuria aka Hawaii. Evidently I have some unfinished business there. I am enthusiastic about the possibilities along every bit of the journey. And after that?? Who knows? There was a possibility of an 18 day cruise that piqued my excitement. It goes from French Polynesia to Australia and New Zealand. These have been places I’d have loved to explore but hadn’t been able financially to pull off. Since my second cruise has me heading back to Aloha Land, it seems the dream for farther south

My Fortune Cookie Concurs

exploration evaporated with it. However, anything is possible. Putting out to the Universe the possibility of another miracle. While I allow for that miracle to come in infinite forms, here is one potentiality. The cruise ship I am on turns around again from Hawaii – returning to French Polynesia. That same ship continues on to the 18 day cruise to Australia and New Zealand. Open to donations, sponsorship, travel companion or ??? to facilitate this. Please contact if you feel nudged to play along. Do YOU have “Impossible Dreams”? Do you brush them aside as there is no way they can happen or do you shoot for the moon? What can you do today to “put it out to the Universe?” You may be surprised at what you can manifest. At the very least, you’ll end up in the stars. Seas the day!

With all the interesting technical dynamics I’ve been dealing with – loss of data, lack of functionality and such -  I am doing my best to maintain my options for keeping in touch. If you enjoy reading my blog, please follow on blogger if you haven’t already. I can't even figure out how to get a link to direct you to follow. There is possibly a link in the column to the right of this post (depending on your device) that shows a Follow button.  Also, number of emails bounced from people who said they wanted to get notifications. Supposedly some weren’t getting them because I needed a domain authentication or such. I may have rectified that – although I am not sure. If you want email announcements for newly released blog posts, and aren’t currently getting them, please let me know and I will do my best to take care of that. Keep in mind, while cruising, I will have minimal internet so please be patient if you don’t get a timely response. I trust we will communicate in Divine time.

Ongoing thanks to all my Angels. From coffee, meals, gym facilities, vehicles, hotels, house stays, airline flights, and more – this fantastic voyage continues to be possible because of you! I can never pay you back financially or in traditional human ways. But the deeper ways I can facilitate the exchange, you know you are lovingly surrounded with daily. Mahalo Nui Loa

Putting it out to the Universe for Fair Winds and Following Seas for us all in the days to come…..
