Over a year and a half has passed...

Nearly two years since my last post actually.

Wow! So much is different.

The end of June 2006 I moved back to Colorado. I'm happy here. I have grown so much here.

Yes, I miss the ocean but the mountains are great!

Lots of changes...still more to come!

Pics of the trip to Eureka are back!
This is of a "side trip" we took up the coast a bit to Trinidad.

My friend kept telling me "don't look it is just too ugly!!"

Too bad she was right! :D

I loved it sooooo much! We are hoping to go back up there soon...REALLY soon.
The beauty and majesty of nature always amaze me.

"Dad" says that too many in this world suffer from NDD (Nature Deficit Disorder). After the wonderful experience I had up here I am inclined to agree! I plan to continue to my recovery by spending time in nature and next to the ocean as much as possible.

This was taking during a walk in the "yard" (a.k.a. the 5 acres we stayed on). We had such a good time exploring and seeing how incredible nature is!!

There were many different kinds of mushrooms and they grew litereally EVERYWHERE!!!

I took 18 rolls of film on this trip. I positively LOVED photographing everything. I am going to post just a couple of the highlights here though! I positively MUST return to photography!!! :D
I am deeply grateful that I took so many photos. I have such a deep feeling return as I look at them.

I am excited to get them scrapbooked. I am thinking about enlarging some of them and framing them or something like that. Not all the details are there yet. Like most of the things in my life it is a work in progress.


There was sooooooo much green and it was all so beautiful.

My heart aches to return!

Centering

I have recently returned from a trip to Northern California. Eureka!

I love on so many different levels that the town near where I stayed is named Eureka!

I had so many "Eureka!" moments. Many large ones and innumerable small ones. It was so valuable and important for me to spend the time there that I did. Was it just the timing and I would have realized what I did anyway no matter where I was? Was it the company I was keeping? Because it was fantastically wonderful and profoundly supportive? Was it my physical location? Being so close to the ocean and so near so much nature and beauty? Was it the unique combination of everything? Does it matter?

I just know that my visit there was healing and centering. I will be forever grateful that I was able to go. Return trips are already being planned by those who went and others are planned to bring along for our next visit.

Ultimately I suppose healing is a choice. One that each of us must make individually. Then, when the choice is made and it is truely CHOSEN....

EUREKA!!
