All of the bedrooms are ready for a long weekend filled with a house full! All I have left to do is run down to the farmers market to grab some groceries and start planning all of their favorites! It amazes me how I can go from one extreme to another, I truly feel like I have the best of both worlds. Just a few days ago I was sitting on the beach, working at the book shop and enjoying some night life and now, I’m here; my most favorite place to be! The place where I truly call home and where all my fondest memories stay alive! I already received several text messages from some friends saying how much they miss me, but hope I have a great time with my children. I’ll be back soon, I said. I’m figuring maybe 2 weeks here and I’ll head on back to the beach. I have several meetings with my publisher to get ready for the final draft of my book, so I can’t stay too long anyway. The first book that is being published is a memoir, “Coffee Tales”. I basically took all of my life experiences and turned it into a book. I loved the idea and just went with it.

Everything is set for now so I figured I’d relax a bit before all of the beautiful chaos comes rushing through the door. I mean that with all the love in the world. I truly wouldn’t want it any other way. When they were all little I felt the same way. I loved that I was home with them and I was able to home-school them during the most important years of their lives. I hope they decide to do the same for their children too. I made a fresh pot of coffee and went to go sit outside on the porch. The sun was glistening down on the lake and the mountains were full of green. Scenery I could never truly leave for good. It’s not just the scenery, it’s the feeling too. It’s that “home” feeling. Kind of like a kid that leaves for college and comes home, that kind of feeling. A home that was built with someone who showed up for a reason, to complete me. I was guided here. It’s always the unknown that gets us. The part of our lives when we do not understand why things happen. Days, weeks, months and even years go by and it finally hits you one day. There are some memories that stay. They stay to help us reflect on life. We are one day able to turn all of the bits and pieces into our masterpiece. Those memories are in scripted in our minds and leave us with a feeling deep within our soul that can never ever be erased or forgotten. When those memories show up for us it’s not only a memory it’s a part of our life that we will always go back to. Just as I took a breath Vishnu showed up. I looked up, closed my eyes, took a deep breath and just whispered; Thank you.

I decided to turn my house up in the mountains into an Air B and B when I am not home. I want other families to experience the pure joy that house gives when they are there, even if it’s just for a short time. I decided to rent it short-term only and with technology these days it won’t be hard for me to take care of everything while I am away. Short- term rentals will give me room to come home whenever I want to. My children are happy with what I am doing and they are even happier that I am not selling it. Not that that was ever going to be an option, but I guess it was a thought that had crossed their minds being I am not living there full time. I made a few phone calls and found a rental place that takes care of pretty much everything, which is nice. That is all settled!

Morning came quick and it’s time to hit the road. I’m packing more stuff than usual, I already have renters coming in about a week. I want to take some of my personal belongings with me. I have some huge news to share with everyone at the beach. I decided I am going to buy the property I have been staying in. I really cannot believe how this all has worked out. I really wasn’t looking for any of this. It kind of just happened for me and I am just going with it. I have already notified the owner and we have already started the paperwork. It’s perfect too! There’s space for guests and I even have an extra room to turn into my writing room. It overlooks the ocean, it’s perfect. I feel like that room is what pushed me to write so much. The scenery, the crashing of the waves. It’s the zen of it all. I feel as if the house was set up for me from the start. I remember walking in for the first time and feeling as if I’d already been there before.

It wasn’t too long ago that I was worrying about what life was going to look like for me. Worrying about my future, income and how I was going to be able to handle it all. This is what happens when you stop worrying and just let fate take over. Once we let our universe give us all the signs and we learn to just go with them that is when we are aligned perfectly with where we are meant to be. I have a few hours of driving to think, turn the music up and just enjoy everything that is happening for me at this time in my life, a time that I never expected would happen. That is what life is all about. The unexpected and the unknown. It can be very scary and absolutely beautiful all at once…

Until next time,

Love & Light, Always!
