Ongoing Trust and Persistence

Aloha Dear Ones!

I haven’t been blogging much for many reasons. I have nothing physical to show for that spa retreat dream I’ve been pursuing for now decades. I don’t have momentous adventures to share. Actually, I have had adventures but, for various reasons, they are not appropriate to divulge with the world. My hosts, as with my respected personal training clients, can rely on confidentiality for their privacy. Certain circumstances have also necessitated not disclosing my whereabouts for my well-being and privacy. I am not a “public figure”. I am not even a business trying to reach far and wide for customers. I am also not a vlogger trying to rack up the most subscribers. I have used blogging as a method to reach those whose lives I am meant to touch. Some I am grateful to have been able to inspire by my words or example. For others, it has been a delight to have been able to provide physical assistance as well.

As expressed previously, I had many frustrations with technology. Personally, I can’t keep up with the blink of an eye changing tech in a manner necessary to get my communication out in a pleasing format and reach all those it may be beneficial to reach. For all the above reasons, I probably will continue not posting regularly. However, every once in a while, I am guided to send yet another message. Whether it be for the good of many or possibly to reach just one individual, I am following that call.

I continue to contemplate the idea of my Tropical SpaRetreat from every twist and angle imaginable. Helping others have a positive life transformation was one of the main goals. Perhaps my retreat will actually manifest some year in this reality. Perhaps not. What remains crystal clear is that, in pursuing that lofty aim, I have been helping others make amazing life shifts everywhere my wanderings have taken me. Think the familiar quote from Lord of the Rings, “All who wander are not lost”. Admittedly, there have been many times I have questioned myself and the paths I was on – seemingly way off track for where I thought I’d be. Yet, I was not, and am not, lost. Miracles and synchronicities are my daily fare. They serve as signs, winks from Heaven, indicating I am exactly in the right place at the right time on my particular path. Even if I am not serving in the manner I anticipated by now, my service and dedication to elevating the planet is in no way diminished.

How about your life? Are you right now where you imagined you would be? Do you ever have doubts about the choices you’ve made and turns you have taken at those forks in the road? I’m guessing most of you, to some degree, are in a very different place than you imagined. Some will see that as a blessing while others are going, “What the ____?!” Now, back up a bit in your life and look real hard. I suspect, if you allow yourself to get past any guilt or self-judgement, you will see abundant synchronicities too – your own personal “winks from Heaven” confirming you are on the right path for you! But wait, I’ve got a little secret to share…. Yes, I know there are a few who have “gotten” this already but perhaps a reminder wouldn’t hurt. There is NO ONE Right Path! As the saying goes, “All roads lead to Rome”. Well, all paths take us Home! Now that doesn’t necessarily mean we should throw all care to the wind – unless that is your preferred style. There are definitely paths that are more pleasant than others. And yes, we definitely have the power to influence them. Fate or destiny are not the be all end all in this lifetime…unless you want them to be 😉 Perhaps a review might be a good idea for you at this time. What manifestations in your life are joyfully serving you? What things in life are painfully serving you? “What?” you say. “Pain does not serve me!” Yeah, it kinda does but that would possibly require volumes to even begin convincing you of such. Rather than dwell there, consider what one action you might take today to shift your path in a direction that is more pleasing to you. Oh, I can already hear some peoples’ minds screaming out about selfishness. Actually, selfishness is part of a healthy way of being. It has been part of my higher purpose to help others understand this. The majority of us were indoctrinated with the idea that selfishness is evil. One of the most basic examples of why it is the opposite of evil, and very necessary, is the airplane admonition. Put your oxygen mask on before helping others! This only makes sense. You can be of the most benefit to others the more whole and complete you are yourself. If your cup is empty, you have nothing to share. Yet, if your cup overfloweth……
The more we experience ourselves as whole and complete, the more we can be of bright service to others! Maybe it would help if we give selfishness a new name due to the stigma attached to that word. How about self-fullness? Self-kindness? I am not a prolific wordsmith so, perhaps, you can come up with the perfect expression that resonates with you – then embody it!

Again, I urge you to find at least one way of nurturing yourself which will automatically assist you in shifting your life journey in a more pleasant direction for you.

One of the ways I am doing this is reaching out to you. It may be time for me to embark on a new adventure. Anyone who has been reading my posts knows my intention is to assist some place on or within close proximity to a tropical beach. I have lived, since 2009, by trade or exchange - my accommodations and such in exchange for some kind of service. The exact arrangement is as varied as the folks I have served in various parts of the world. If you have any leads for me, I’d greatly appreciate them. You can email me here 🙏

Due to my travels, I am not in a position to sell much these days. If

you’d like to support me with your retail therapy, please consider purchasing from my daughter’s Poshmark store. Many of my Shell Crafts along with other items are there and she uses the proceeds to assist me on my life adventure as well. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for her support as well as all of yours!

Circling back again to my title…My sojourn has definitely been one of ongoing trust and persistence. I trust the Universe to guide me to where I should be for the highest and best good of myself and all. Following that path, I trust I will be provided for abundantly – having all the tools I need to live vibrantly and joyfully along the way. In spite of outward appearances indicating I’ve made no progress for decades on my anticipated journey so far, I persist in the direction I am intuitively guided. Yes, I have my doubts here and there. Yes, I get discouraged sometimes. Yes, I get downright frustrated and, occasionally, even depressed by the external evidence. Some of the characteristics of being human for sure! Yet I have managed to persist on this multi-faceted, exciting trip on Planet Earth trusting in a Higher Power that I AM part of. I am going the distance as long as it is appropriate. Gratitude is also bigtime fuel for my ongoing fire. As part of my “job” is to help you, I surround you with radiant love light and ongoing energetic support in all you are inspired to do and be. Blessings all around…..

Pura Vida
