And all that is gold does not glitter. Sit back and relax while I regale you with the ongoing tale
of a Gypsy Wanderer from an intimate perspective.
Most people living “normal” lives cannot fathom the life I have
been living since 2009. Personally, I don’t know how many years previous were
preparing me for such either – perhaps since birth. Normal people, in this
context, are those who subscribe to beliefs such as: You have to work hard at a
job to have the things you want. Hard work is necessary to achieve or be
deserving of just about anything. You have to have a secure job to ensure you
will have enough for retirement. One must have savings, provisions, insurance
etc. for a “rainy day”.
Not a typical being, I have lived outside the “normal”
paradigm for quite a while now…..time pretty much blending one year to the
next. This has led to extraordinarily amazing happenings and some, not so
thrilling, quite interesting situations. People have chided me for soliciting
contributions. This was in regard to my general open request via my blog, not even
asking them personally. Some individuals, who I considered close friends and
thought we understood each other, have even asked me to stop communicating with
them. On a kinder note, people have offered me "regular jobs" as well as
assistance in getting a “JOB”.
These wonderful, well-meaning humans, have no comprehension
of my journey and mission right now. Heck, I have difficulty understanding it
myself periodically. As far as those people go, I bless them for their thoughtful, caring intentions. If they wish to hold to those age old beliefs, far be it from me to
try to shift their opinions. It is their prerogative to believe what they want
and feel is appropriate for them. Although they might want to watch The Matrix!
(Sorry, couldn’t resist throwing that in.)
For those who have a clue, you may or may not know what an
infinite blessing you are in my life! I cannot thank you enough for all your
support via your love, your words, food, money, housing, services and positive energies.
In fact, there are times when some of you believe in me more than I do. Yes, I DO
have my “moments”. You are all Earth Angels both to me and all you touch by way
of your far reaching ripple effect. You are, indeed, part of the Heaven on
Earth Construction Team!
As far as my wanderings, it is true I don’t know much about
my future and where it may take me. However, I regularly follow the signs
indicating which direction to go or, often, which road not to travel. It is my
joy and delight to share the gifts only I can impart to those open to receive
along the way. Whilst involved in those bright endeavors, I feel so magically
in my element! It is a high only known by those following their true path (not
necessarily the one others say they “should” be on). Much continues to be a
mystery for me but I always know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, my very next
appropriate step. This is due to a conscious choice, made many years ago, to
live in the present moment. Although not always easy, it is a very empowering
place to live in/from.
There’s a saying many align with, “Everything Happens for a Reason!” I used to be extremely pessimistic so that saying then was, for me, along the lines that everything happens for a reason and that is to mess with
me. Having since done a complete 180, when I use the phrase, I always add
quietly inside….and is for my highest good and the highest good of all! On
occasion I am gifted with the knowing of some of those “reasons” but much of
the time not. This is where faith and trust come in! An amazing, wise friend of
mine, Annalene Hart wrote a brilliant blog post that describes another place I
find myself once in a blue moon….. The Surprising Gift Of Confusion Can you relate?? However, even a temporary state of confusion does not equate
to being “lost”. Numerous are the purposes for my journey that I know but human
language fails me in my desire to convey such. Perhaps in the future, I will
discover a way…..if it is for the highest good of all.
For now I encourage you to think about your personal journey
in this very moment. Are you living your truth, whether or not you can clearly
explain it to another? Are you allowing others’ opinions to influence your
journey in ways that aren’t in alignment with your own heart? Are you doing
things a certain way solely because that’s the way they have always been done? Is
there some small step you can take today that would put you more in unity with
your heart’s purpose?
I am not suggesting anyone live logistically as I am at all.
Different strokes for different folks. I simply wish to be a mirror for you
living your truth. There are many ways of living outside the mainstream “automatic”
– Check out Money - Not the Only Currency & Freeworlder. Whether you choose
to live more “normal” or off the beaten path, please remember to always live in
integrity…..always be true to yourself! Namaste ~
