Here’s what we are enjoying since moving to Ocala, Florida. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:

After one week here we are really grateful for:

  • No traffic noise! When nothing is on (no TV, videos, or music) in our new apartment, we hear NOTHING from outside and we love it! (I couldn’t sleep for weeks/months in Bradenton due to the bad windows and all the ambulance sirens, etc. and people peeling out at the stop light near us, etc.) I was really seeking quiet. And it seems I got it now.
  • We really love our “new to us” furniture we bought here. Since we’re minimalists, we buy used whenever possible. I ordered an Amish step stool from Etsy (UPDATE: added the picture); I needed one to reach the top kitchen cabinets and place our pictures on top
  • We love the Italian restaurant in the plaza we can walk to and made a reservation for tomorrow night to celebrate my darling husband’s birthday. Their pizza is the best we have had since Disney (The Italy country in Epcot).
  • We met an excellent driver who will take us anywhere, for less than he charges on Uber and Lyft
  • We’re so happy with these like-new appliances and like-new bathroom sink and tub that actually works (versus the old ones that wouldn’t drain at the former place)

Mental health

I am much calmer and clear about some things but yes, wherever we go we take ourselves with us! Ha! I wish we had found this place a year ago, but I know better than to get into “would’ve, could’ve, should’ve” thinking. Perhaps my husband wouldn’t have had a stroke in Oct. 2022. Ugh. I still blame hurricane Ian for hubby overexerting himself during the days after the hurricane when we had no power.

Ah, but live in the now. Breathe deep. Let all that OLD go! Whew!

Now, I am living in utter GRATITUDE and honoring my intuition and psychic abilities since I had felt for months that we needed to move on 8/21 and hurricane Idalia hit today, 8/30!

I am feeling very empowered having bought 3 new styles of ear plugs since we have upstairs neighbors who are not used to apartment living yet (and have heavy feet). Otherwise our new place is 100% quieter than where we moved from! And we love it!

New used furniture

Broyhill cherry wood console – aka “my coffin” as it weighs as much as me and thought it might be the death of us getting it the apartment! I trust the Broyhill name as my parents always had Broyhill furniture since I was a child. Paying homage to them and it will remind me of them everyday!
Getting books put away
Kitchen is done now and I still have empty cabinets. Woo-hoo! New barstools too. Hubby put those together.
Amish step stool crafted from reclaimed wood
I flipped empty plastic totes upside down and covered with a favorite cloth to make a plant stand/altar.
My side of the bedroom and how I temporarily organized things until the cubes I ordered the other day arrives.
We put our car window shades between the front bedroom window and blinds to keep that room darker and cooler. Again, I turned empty totes upside down to use as makeshift tables for stuff.
One tote outside that I’m using as a plant stand; I planted seeds already. Onion and sage.

All in all, we’re very happy to be here and feel healthier every day from all the walking we are doing.

My 4th book is on Amazon and you can get it here: Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally

To our better health, ease, joy, and sustainment in JOY!

Peace. Out.

Integrating the Spirals to ease suffering

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is helpful now more than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise hope. I want to uplift others and raise our collective vibrations and consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath and that offers us peace and calm. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive personal guidance.

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.
