Those who have been following me for awhile now, know that I’ve been doing Spirit’s work, leaping from Seattle, WA, in Nov. 2012, where I’d been living for 14 years. I’ve now been on the road 169 weeks, living on faith and donations when they come and making a little money here and there doing my Spiritual healing work. It has been a very challenging time, going in and out of many homes, B and B’s, hotels, and many of those not going well, on top of all the Spiritual work I’ve been doing to help bring about the shift into the light for humanity and the planet. I have always been up front about my situation when looking for a place to stay, and very dedicated to giving what I can wherever I am, whether that is massages and reflexology, deep spiritual/energetic healing, cleaning, organizing, yard work, dog walking, house maintenance work, packing, on and on. I’ve been kicked out of several places, even from friend’s homes, with people agreeing to me staying there, me doing much more for them than agreed to, and them still deciding I needed to be out NOW!!!!
I’m presently in a situation which vacillates between nice and supportive, and confusing and stressful, but I stay because this is what is offered now and so seems where I am guided to be at the moment. So I continue here using as much patience, restraint, compassion, and understanding as I can muster, along with some tears, and prayers for this shift into the light to complete, so I have the full funds to move on to do my bigger work, stay where I choose to, and am supported in all ways. In all fairness, it is challenging to live with anyone, especially people you don’t know and I admire even the crazed hosts I have had, for opening their home to a stranger. I am grateful for having a roof over my head, hot water for a shower and a clean, safe place to be, as many on this planet don’t have that. I was already a very accommodating, flexible, adaptable person but I’ve been stretched WAAAAAYYYY beyond that on this journey. I’m looking forward to hopefully soon being able to have my own place again, so I can finally relax….something I haven’t done much of for a very long time.
Looking back at the craziness of this spiritual journey of service, along with the sometimes strangeness of where I am now, got me to thinking today of the most amazing host I had on this journey. There were other great hosts, too, but this one in particular really stands out.
I was staying in Tucson, AZ, in a converted garage, loving all the hiking I was doing, and the other activities, but feeling uncomfortable with the approaching heat, so I had placed an ad on Craigslist (which has given me much guidance along this journey ), looking for a place to stay in either Prescott or Flagstaff, AZ I had a man in Flagstaff contact me and it felt like a perfect fit, but he disappeared. Then, I received a reply from a man in Prescott, there for work. He had been looking on Craigslist, thinking he would get a roommate for the time he was there, and make some money, but saw my ad and decided to offer me the space for free, instead!! I’ve seen how Spirit has guided me along the way, guided me to those people and places that needed my energy. He didn’t even care if I came to meet him first or not.
I drove up there one weekend though, to meet him and see his space. He was nice and friendly, and the place was only a couple blocks from the town plaza, a 2 bdr. apt. We hit it off fine, so it was decided I would arrive April 30, 2013, and stay until May 20th. He gave me a key, opened his home to me and as far as he was concerned, he didn’t care if I did anything for the home or him while I was there!
I had my own bedroom and bathroom, and since he got up early to go to work, came home and went to his space to watch TV and go to sleep early and took off on weekends, I barely saw him. I did offer him some therapeutic massages, to give back to him for his generosity and he gave me big tips!!!! I regularly cleaned the place, folded clothes he’d left in the drier and did what I could to contribute, and he’d praise me as if I’d just built the place. We had a few conversations and always got along.
I’m still in awe of him forgoing making money on the space as he was quite the business man, turning into one in college, quite the wheeler dealer. So to offer me the space without meeting me, open his home to me asking nothing in return, and then being so delighted at all I did to help around the place, as he truly didn’t expect anything from me, was just the most spirit inspired experience I’ve had this entire journey. And he isn’t one that would consider himself spiritual. He was just a good guy, and the contrast between that and some old friends of mine (now ex-friends), along with some stranger strangers, treating me poorly, it remains a bright spot in this long faith journey of mine.
So I’m sending out many thanks to this man, a shining example of how we can be to each other, a shining example of how this world can be.
I’m hoping you, too, find these open hearted people along your journey.
If I can assist you in any way, with my healing abilities or if you care to donate to me for the work I’m doing for the planet, please let me know.
