Take a step onto the path that you choose.....

Well my goodness, what a whirlwind of a few days it's been. By the way, happy full moon!! So I left off last time in just finding out about having to move. After the shock, frustration and saddness of that, I feel very sure that this is what's supposed to happen (of course). Garrett and I are going to move to Asheville- there is no need or reason to move to Johnson City. We really feel like we're both supposed to be in Asheville right now, for whatever reasons. So... we went to look at some rental places yesterday- and had two to look at- one was very interesting as it was on an organic farm, and the other was in the city. So we got to the farmhouse and the experience there was amazing. We were both overwhelmed. First of all, Patrick, the owner who also lives on the farm, is a great guy- very present, grounded, understanding, positive, and very tuned-in. There is another family who lives there who seem great as well. The farm has several neighbors and it is kind of a community situation- people working the farm together, having cookouts, hanging out, etc. There are vegetables growing, chickens running around, and a greenhouse. Part of the attraction of this place for me is that I can grow things there and share the greenhouse. It is organic, and has been grown organically for 17 years, although is not certified organic. The greenhouse plastic will stay up in the winter, which is great because I'd like to try some cold weather vegetables, and was considering a cold frame or something. For me, I could make a start at one of my dreams- growing and selling plants, vegetables, herbs, whatever. I could actually do it, which is kind of crazy. It of course brings up alot of fears for me, but I'm working through it. It's funny- you can talk about what you want so much and then when it's presented, it's like "oh, wait a minute...". I've been praying and praying for things to come into my life- and this is one of them. So, I asked for it and here it is. Now what am I going to do with it? There is also a small barn that would be ours- which would make a great workshop to build things, etc. Patrick says I'm welcome to use his woodshop.... where he has a planer, etc- the things I don't have. I can have a separate garden or I can share in the community one, and everyone works at it and shares in it. There are fresh organic eggs.... another thing I've asked for! There is a river that runs through it, hiking trails, a cave (yeah!) and other things I'm forgetting. It's outside Weaverville, NC, and is about 20 minutes to Asheville. Both Garrett and I really got overwhelmed and had alot of stuff come up for us, and have been working through it. We both feel like we're supposed to be there, and so does Patrick. He wants someone who can really put some energy into the growing thing. So as much uncertainty there is, we feel like it is what we're supposed to do. And all of the fears and energy that's come up with this place, is just an indication of great growth happening and to come. And, we're going to have courage and take a step towards it, as scarey as it might be. We trust, and we know it's going to be ok. We can move in sometime this week I think, and my last days at Earth Fare are Monday and Tuesday nights! I can't believe it's all here and everything is changing. So we'll either move in this week or next, which works great because Rainbow Eagle is coming on the 23rd. All perfect timing. Now to get packing :)
Then after some processing and chilling time, we went on to see Malcolm Holcombe play at the Grey Eagle. A great venue and one of my favorite musicians. I don't think I've ever left a show of his without having cried once. He is amazing and I love how he really goes straight into the depth of emotion, and music. It was the best show I've seen of his- although I've seen many and many were better for different reasons. This show he was so comfortable- and at home. One of the things I love about him is that he is truly himself- no matter what people think. And I think that is beautiful. And last night he had more of a freedom in that. It was great. I'd suggest checking him out at least once for the experience if you ever have the opportunity. www.malcolmholcombe.com
So, the decision has been made, we're moving to this house- and even in the uncertainty, it's good to know we're going down this path, and it's going to lead us to a whole new world. I feel my life is changing big time, and look forward to all of the beautiful things that are to come.
