For my friends here at Gaia, I'm writing about the latest 'new' thing for me. I made a decision!!! It's hard to explain, but it was such a quick, yet considered, decision. And it was mine! Not one that carried any energy from others' thoughts, and over these past several months I've heard Doc a LOT!
Some of you know that my plan has been to return to Tucson for the winter after I spend the summer up in the Northwest. Well, all that has changed, on a dime - almost literally. I was planning to pay my rent for the year, (due June 1) although I'd be here only six months, because it's the most frugal way. I had a hard time parting with so much money at one fell swoop. So I made a call to the Loners on Wheels RV park in Deming, NM. I can spend the winter there for half the Tucson monthly rate (based on the annual cost), and I don't have to commit to a year to get that rate.
So when I get back to Tucson in October I'll be here just long enough to collect the things out of my storage and head to Deming. It's interesting how things just 'fell into place'. All I had to do was inquire, and I felt a LOT of pressure. The urging - 'come on, Su, decide, for Pete's sake!' So I did, and I feel so relieved. I acted on the thoughts I'd been having over the last few months - being with other single RVers, not stuck in a place of 'traditional' lifestyle, and saving a few coins.
The hardest aspect to this is leaving the warmth of the Desert Crones. I know, though, that their love comes right along with me, and I've made some lifetime friends who will know what I'm doing as I travel. And this new thing with beading is just blowing me away. My teacher says that I'm the best student she's ever had - and we are going to have to get together as much as possible while I'm in Tucson for her to teach me as much as she knows. I saw that Deming also has a gem show, so if I don't make it to the Tucson show next February, I can still get some new beads!!!
This new decision has sort of awakened me to the fact that this is really my life, and I'm not going to enjoy it if I always take the 'safe' route. I've made other big decisions, but this one is really different, in terms of how I feel about deciding differently, and seeing the synchronicity of it. I was thinking that when I get back I'll have to find a part-time job or do some temp work to supplement my income. Now I'm into the mode of looking for work-camping opportunities, and I've heard that they ARE out there!
I just wanted to share - I know that many of you probably don't stop here much anymore - and that's okay. For those of you who are curious, I say 'hi' and thanks for stopping by. I think of you all often, and wish you all the best as you spend your days becoming more and more enlightened. Much love to you all.

Wow! You are really showing us how to get out of one's comfort zone, and love it! Su, I”m glad that you are keeping in touch as you travel and as you see, your friends will drop by when you do.
