I am back in Minnesota and in the Sauk Rapids area for now.  

Amazing the roads that life leads us to travel, experience and learn from.  I know being in California enhanced my skills and gave me lots of new information and growth.  

I am open and practicing right now and I keep adding to my skills and my offerings to clients.   

What a challenge and gift life is and has to offer us ~

Today we went down to the ocean.  It was a good experience again - but I am struggling with my emotions.  I feel depression setting in and I am feeling lost and empty.  I am not sure where I belong and tears are pouring out.  I am not sure where I belong.  I love the environment and the energy here - but I soooo deeply miss my family.  I often feel this deep hole in my heart and missing the hugs of my wonderful grandson and my kids.
I know the tears will flow and I know they are a way of releasing and cleansing.  I know I need to let go of the anxiety and stress - and allow my spirit and soul to shine and soar again.
Like the waves of the ocean I know I need to rise and fall with the challenges I am given so that I may grow and learn. 
We all need to face our challenges and stand up to them - this is how we all need to see challenges - as a chance to learn. 
We need to be grateful for those ebbs and tides, along with the smooth and calm waters and appreciate each moment in life.

We went down to Smith River today.  The water is so clear - It is amazing and beautiful.  We could see divers in the water from the bridge above.  Upon going down to the water I could not believe how clear it was - you could see everything in the water..... WOW 
Walking along and looking at all of it I was stunned - this was like looking at a painting.
The power and beauty of water is amazing to me - what a gift we have been given from mother nature.... now to get people to see, feel and experience that beauty - and again, to gain respect for this aspect of nature!
