Life in Idyllwild

Hello!
I've been waking up early and go to bed fairly early. The sun goes down around 4:30pm. Then my body starts to getting ready to sleep. I've been here a few days now and I see my see myself getting into a rhythm for the day. I'm a little more spunky and active in the morning when I'm getting ready to go to the land. I drive there from the house in town.

On the way is the city dump space. Which if I haven't mentioned, is a lovely set up.

We have an 'Action Day' this weekend. DEC. 12th :-) I'm interested to see how many people come out for December. 
I've been removing dry sage brush for only 2 hours each day. Taking it slow on the physical work while the body gets used to it all again. We will be doing several other group projects as well, depending on how many people come. Last time I was here there were about 18 of us.  Let me know if you wanna come visit us!

Jai Ma, blessings make the world go round or the world goes round and that's
a blessing :-)



Idyllwild Mountains, Winter

Hello Y'all,

I've been around the country since my return from India:
First Humboldt County,
Second San Jose,
Third to visit Idyllwild,
Back to the Bay Area,
East to visit family,
San Diego :)
...and now I'm back in the Idyllwild Mountains!

I should be hunkering down for the winter.
Let me know if and when you would like to come visit. Friends and family are very welcome here.

I will be removing dry dead plants to keep the land out here fire resistant.
Also, I will be composting, because I Love that :)

Very happy and grateful to be here.
Looking forward to a mutual support system with the community and the land here for a while.

Always looking for home, within and around me. Take care!

It's nice to be involved in something grand with good people and values surrounding nature with care.

I participated in an Action Day and helped mark some trails for waking around the land.

Other days I remove dry sage brush to make the area safe in this arid weather.

And that's an outdoor compost toilet!
It's awesome!

The people here are wonderful to be around and I enjoy contributing to the community.

Painting Again.

Helping with Art Projects!

'Haunt' at Great America, assisting with painting the Halloween mazes.

'The Commons, presents Harvest'
at St James Park in San Jose this Friday.
We'll be setting up the decor during the day for the event at night.
I'm especially excited about the prospect of ballerinas and good music.

Madhura, Lara Sophia
Yay!

I'm in California!

Back in the USA, life hasn't changed TOO much...
Doing laundry, but now in a washing machine. Drawing again, and life goes on! Taking it easy, visiting friends and nature. More to come! 

Heading State-Side!

It's been a wonderful journey in India at Amma's ashram in Kerala India.
I've been here since last fall this trip.
I served as a volunteer in the compost department
and have been very happy in this service.

I will miss my family that I've had the honor of being around.
I love you all and see you :)

USA Bound in 20 days!

I'm heading back to the states in 20 days . Possible "wwoofing" experiences to come. Learn to work someone's organic farm land or hang with some animals for a bit upon my return. Ease into the world of the Americas once again. See y'all when I see you and take care :-)

11weeks until USA Trip!


I am both excited and nervous. :) hence my HUGE countdown from 3 months out for my second return to the USA...since falling in love with Amritapuri India. 

My first trip back to the states was short, just 2 months. Mostly it was to visit family and friends. This trip will include more time for work and play!

Looking forward to integrating happy aspects of myself to share with you all :
💛 Laughter Yoga
💜 Foot Massage
💚 Composting
💖 Inuitive Healing
✨ arts, poetry and music!

There is time for all these things because I would like to integrate some of this into a profession. Also, there are a few of you I'd like to go hiking with :) or massage your feet :) 

Ma

There are some people that I just like the look on their face. Anandamayi Ma is one of them. :-)

Pronoia Horoscope March 26th


Leo Horoscope for week of March 26, 2015
Verticle Oracle cardLeo (July 23-August 22)
"The national anthem of Hell must be the old Frank Sinatra song 'I Did It My Way,'" declares Richard Wagner, author of the book C.S. Lewis & Narnia for Dummies. "Selfish pride is Hell's most common trait," he adds. "Hell's inhabitants have a sense of satisfaction that they can at least say 'they've been true to themselves.'" Heed this warning, Leo. Tame your lust for self-expression. APRIL FOOL! I was making a little joke. The truth is not as simplistic as I implied. I actually think it's important for you to be able to declare "I did it my way" and "I've been true to myself." But for best results, do it in ways that aren't selfish, insensitive, or arrogant.

How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings.

"The seed cannot sprout upwards without simultaneously sending roots into the ground," says an Egyptian proverb. Keep that thought in mind as you head into your next phase of growth. What part of you needs to deepen as you rise up? What growth needs to unfold in the hidden places as you gravitate toward the light? How can you go about balancing and stabilizing your ascension with a downward penetration? 

Happy Holi, May your days be filled with color and light!
