divinving into a new adventure with my First Love

15 days ago I left Wet Crisp New England and arrived in Sunny Dry California!

(Yeah, I know...way to break the news to a blog after I literally moved across the country...what's done is done - and there's much catching up to do!)

To make a dreadfully long story short....I am staying with a beautiful family of five, sharing a bunk bed with a lovely roommate and going to Bethel School Of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM - see ibssm.org for more information). 

After the second week, it's safe to say: I have crossed the 'point of no return' and there's no going back for me. I'm in this for the long haul.

I have invested practically all of me into this move, and find myself bewildered by beauty! The location is surrounded by mountains, the sun shines everyday, and I hear it doesn't get much below 40 degrees. (adoring the warmth here!)

Even though I've never been on the Pacific side, so far I feel at home. Nothing really reminds me of Maine, yet I feel like this is home for this season! Now that I think of it, even as a kid I was quite the traveler - maybe I just feel at home wherever I go?

Ultimately, I think the reason why I feel so at home this early is because I know this is the spot I need to be in for this time. As of today, I cannot put my reasons into words....for now, know that a lot of small things started to build and confirm my desires...and here I am!

I am very excited to record this next journey....

love with no fear

On a rainy ride yesterday morning, something special hit me through Jack Johnson's lyrics. 

"The best I can do is try to show you how to love with no fear"

There is no fear in love. So how can we possibly love with fear???

We CANNOT. 

I simply felt the desire to be fearless and courageous. Really thought about what it means. Searched and considered the words from the dictionary and ideas of others

Fearless:
without fear; bold or brave

Fear:
anxiety, concern, feeling of distress, apprehension, or alarm caused by impending danger, pain, etc.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement of something else that is more important than fear." - Ambrose Redmoon

"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."  - Mary Anne Radmacher
