Leaving for US

It has been quite sometime - over a month - since I last wrote. Oh my gosh how time just keeps moving so fast.

A friend came to visit a week ago and remarked on how fast the days seem to fly by even without doing much....so true!

I am preparing to fly to Portland for 2 1/2 months after being in Mexico for almost 9 months and there are lots of preparations to make, some of which perplex me. Like my car. What to do with it - where and how to store it, etc. Luckily, here, we have a fantastic internet-communication site where you can write in with questions. I did - and so many people responded with such excellent advice that I now feel confident about leaving my vehicle.

Then there is my cat. Do I take her or leave her? If I take her, the friend who I am staying with in Portland has 3 dogs - not a good idea to bring a cat. So, have found a friend here who is willing to have my cat stay with her which prevents me from boarding her for so long.

Then - the biggest issue - what clothes to bring! Portland is so much cooler than Baja and although I have coats stored there, I have no other things - like a bathrobe. Solution, used clothing stores! That way I can create a "winter" wardrobe to keep in Portland and have fun doing it at the same time.

Well, then again, the biggest issue will probably be in culture, and I am preparing myself now. Mexico is so much slower and not at all as serious about everything as the US can be (which is what I love about it) - so we will see what feelings pop up for me during this time.

If anyone is still reading this blog, and who may be interested, I am teaching the "Relationships: Being Real" class at the Portland Center for Spiritual Living starting in September. The cl is 7 weeks and is truly more than worth the $80 fee. I am excited about teaching it again and highly encourage people to register for it.

So, for now - I bid you farewell. My next note will come from Portland.

Blessings of love in all ways.
