Finishing Up

My apologies on not posting the remainder of my trip to Australia. After my last post, we flew to Cairns and spent the next 3 days on a dive boat and got our open water scuba certification diving the Great Barrier Reef. Once we got back, we checked into an eco-resort that was nestled in a rainforest that rolled down the surrounding mountains and ended abruptly onto a gorgeous beach with the warm Coral Sea to swim in. It was in the ocean that I had an experience that fundamentally changed a part of my Being. I was given insights into my self and all of existence that I look forward to attempting to convey to my readers (some of the concepts were indescribable and could only be experienced rather than verbalized). We stayed at this magical place for 3 days before flying down to Brisbane where we spent the remainder of our trip; our last day was spent on Moreton Island, the 3rd largest sand island in the world. We snorkeled around ship wrecks, rode around the island 4-wheel drive style, and eventually tobagganed down enourmous sand hills. It was exhilerating and I came back home feeling reawakened in every way. I rediscovered a part of my Soul and found some of the balance I've been searching for my whole life. I want to describe this time in much richer detail (and believe me, I will) but unfortunately, I was hit hard when I arrived back home.

My website was "upgraded" just before I left and went down hard when I got back. This wreaked havoc on clients trying to order sessions and book appointments and is still getting fixed. There has been a host of other things along those lines go down; it's that kind of stuff you can easily deal with if it's just one or two things but not dozens. The hardest thing is that in the time since I've been back, we have found out that my father, who I'm very close to, has advanced cancer and things aren't looking great for him. He is in the hospital as I write this and I am preparing to leave AZ and head to NC to be with my family for an indefinite period of time.

The balance and clarity that I found in Australia was the biggest gift the Universe could have given me and is the thing carrying me through this difficult time. Although I am very emotionally devastated right now, I feel the loving presence of Spirit around now more than ever. I know that whatever happens, all things will be in their Divine Order. Today, I was told by Spirit that the upcoming times are going to take me to depths I have yet to traverse but that my family and I would be loved, carried, and supported all the way. I was told that when I feel the most alone and cut off from Spirit that it's actually the time Spirit will be the closest to me, so close I may not be able to sense their presence like usual. If you are going through a tough time yourself, please try to remember that it's the times you feel the most alone and afraid that Spirit is holding you the closest.

Thank you for reading my blog; there will be more about my Australian adventure in future writings.
