It never rains in California.....

I used to live here- in Southern California. For two decades at least. I return frequently- to see both family and clients. The family grew, the clients turned into friends, more so than clients. The family grew more, and the opportunity to see the client/friends decreased. A beautiful flow of life. Last week I made a spontaneous decision to jump down from my home in the PNW (NW Washington State) to So Cal- flying into Ontario this time, instead of LAX. One of those "client/friends" had been offering his Airbnb to me for a long time- and when he said it was available for my dates I said "YES"! This is the perfect landing pad that I am writing to you from right now. Sonney SoCal Escape Airbnb. At this exact moment I have a Glaswegian and who is in Alicante, Spain- working on my website automations- with my friend Paula who is a Brit, lives in NI but is also in Alicante! It's mind blowing how small this world can truly is. We can be tackling a task on one continent with someone on another continent- never mind the timezones.... or the drinks in hand! They're drinking alcohol and I'm still chugging my first cup of coffee at 7 am! The type of beverage they are drinking may well have an interesting impact on the efficacy of the work they are volunteering to do on my/your behalf! I digress!--this post was intended to be about family/client/friends- California! It was absolutely POURING down rain when I arrived on Thursday at midnight... it continuied to rain hard for the next day- whilst I was driving to LA from the IE. The air smells so good- but the rains have gone now and we are left with beautiful, clear skies. This makes me ponder why I left the southland in the first place! But it's grand to visit my family here, grandchildren and these other people. Yesterday long time supporters of mine gathered for a day of CRAFTING! Such delighful fun to see how far we have come in relationship over the years. Cindy and Tina. You all know Tina- by way of the fact that she designed my Logo decades ago. Oh how it has morphed with color and dimension: mosaic, wood carving, painted on rocks, stickers, coffee mugs, of course the usual advertising aspects of a logo :). I am always grateful. Here are some of the results of the past 24 hours in photo form:

Bodywork with Lise

I began teaching MSTR® in January of 2019. Since that time I can not even tell you how many students have come through my course, though it is somewhere in my computer.... I could look it up! Over that time, we have weathered a pandemic, our international teaching team has gathered in person in Spain, and most recently- I have uprooted my business from a co-operative team at The Metta Center, to flying solo in a new space in Bellingham, WA. I've not been solo since I left California in 2007! It's quite freeing, actually. My new space is huge, yet smaller overall than my previous space in the Roosevelt Neighborhood. I'm now at Bakerview Square, near Cordata and the community that surrounds me is a lovely and welcoming one. If you've not yet been, I look forward to seeing you soon! I am back to seeing clients more now, but space is limited. That's what happens when you have a wonderful group of loyal, frequent flyers! Just like the airlines.... of which I am quite familiar. On that note- travel season is here. I'll be spending time with grandbabies and my international MSTR® team members.... The month of July has me waling the Camino del Norte with a very dear friend. So- while I hope to see you soon, I understand if you struggle with booking before October. That's. ok! Life is for living! Let's do that now, shall we?! Meanwhile- click this link if you want to book now..... that too has changed, and I'm only updating this information, today!
