As I write this I find myself once again surrounded by boxes holding bits and pieces of my life while I ready myself for what is next Seems a pattern of leaps of faith that I actually do not enjoy. In fact, I prefer the security of solid ground beneath my feet, and yet somehow I find myself leaping into the abyss of the unknown more often than I’d have expected. Today my leap is one that I trust will bring me healing on all levels, and afford me the opportunity to travel among the trees of this country and learn their wisdom and lessons. As my doctor suggested, I am ready to take the first step to healing from the biotoxin illness that has invaded and taken hold of my body, mind, and spirit. The first step is avoidance. I must be out of an environment that makes me ill if I am to be well again. So, by week’s end, I will have all of these boxes packed away, said some incredibly painful goodbyes and will leave here to embark on step one.
Step one for me was to find and purchase a class C motorhome that passed the mold tests among others. After much research and looking at many, I settled on a new to me Winnebago Navion. Yup, me in an RV camping. I don’t camp so this will be an experience for certain. The learning curve for me couldn’t be any steeper, but I am hopeful. I am fortunate to have a dear friend willing to share in this learning curve and travel with me to help me with my healing journey. That too will be a steep learning curve for me. Living in a tin box with another person is not ideal. I just pray we will learn and be successful with all of it. The rig itself is in pristine condition and the previous owner took the kind of care in all the little things that my own father would have done, so I felt good about that. It was not an easy buying process but finally, the unnecessary stress that came with it is behind me. What lies in front of me is, well, the leap I suppose.
This leap is not an easy one as I said, and I am making it anyway. I will write about my travels, my journey toward healing, and lessons learned from teacher trees I will meet along the way. I hope you will follow along with me on this journey, if nothing else there ought to be some good laughs involved. To that end, I think perhaps a few videos might appear from time to time to keep you entertained and laughing along with us. For today, I need to get back to the packing I have left to write these few words and the many goodbyes I need to say before Friday. Enjoy your Labor Day Holiday and watch for me on the road…
