The beginning of these posts was my My Life Just Hit a Brick Wall at High Velocity, on the Cusp of My 50th Birthday: Mid Life Crisis 101 post. I link that post because I want to give my readers some useful context for what I write in these posts.
Warm greetings all! 🙏 💚
Well, I moved today. Sundog arrived around 11AM (he did laundry in town beforehand, so he was a little late), and we transported three loads of my stuff (mostly plants) in his Chevy Astro van, from The Sanctuary of The Blue Dragon, in Seaview, about a twenty-minute drive, to Nanawale, where my friend Audrey lives. We were done by 5PM.
I'm incredibly grateful to Audrey, and everyone else who lives here, who so warmly opened their home and property to me, in a time when I very much needed the support. I have no idea for how long I'll be here, in part because I don't know how much of what is important to me can be done here.
While Sundog and I were moving my stuff and plants, several of the people who live here, Audrey included, cleared a section of land, and put up a twenty-foot tent, under which they put a bed under a mosquito net. I think I could make it quite livable, and maybe even aesthetically pleasing. I'll work on that, and clearing more cane grass (giant, fast-growing, elephant-food African grass) around the perimeter of my large tent with my Fijian machete.
The second important thing I want to do tomorrow is to find a suitable location for a nursery, so that I can get my plants organized, and under good growing conditions. I gave everything a good watering once Sundog left.
I'm now in a totally different place, with a whole new cast of characters, aside from my friend Audrey. My mind is still reeling at the massive, and very rapid, shift in my life. It's just past one month. Now I need to adapt to a new place, with new people, and find a way to do what I want and need to the best of my ability. It's a bit daunting.
Honestly I don't know what else to say at the moment. I'll write about how it goes here, and what I do, each day. I pray that I am able to flow here easefully and elegantly in this new 'home'.
I still feel super weird and ungrounded, and yes, my heart still hurts, but I'm still alive and breathing, and I'll meet my days here in this new place with as much love, care, gratitude, and presence as I can in each moment. Hopefully I'll be able to add joy in there soon too.
Good night my dear humans who are reading this. I'm going to get my sleeping space situated a bit, then go to sleep there for the first time.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚
