Surprises happen all the time.

Just when I am about to give up and think I am wrong in the things I believe in, a wonderful surprise comes along.  I guess it is about the control thing.  I have to remind myself all the time to give up the control and let things happen.  I have read all the articles about 'going with the flow' and try, really try, but it is not as easy as it sounds.
I know deep in my heart when the time is right what is really best for me will come to me, maybe not how I think or how I imagined it to be, but it will appear. 
I hope I am wide awake enough to realize it, and not so lost in what I think I want where I miss it!
I hope I am fearless enough to grab at it, and follow it, with out any conditions. 
I hope I am able to catch the wing and fly off to the calling of my soul.
I did receive a couple surprises this past Sunday that there are people watching over me.
The first was when I was thinking about my mom and how a few days before she passed I came up with the idea of her sending me peacock feathers, just because they are so rare and at the time there wasn't much out there with them on. Now since she crossed over they have seemed to become very popular and are everywhere. Back to Sunday I was at work thinking how great it wold be if a peacock feather came to me and let me know I was on the right track with my plans. Odd as this sounds, a customer brought me a large picture of a peacock with very long tail feathers. I know the skeptics will all say that it was a coincidence, but if you know me I know there are no coincidences in this world! Never! Everything has a reason, and not all things are a message, but some times there is a very important message in them. We need to be able to decipher those messages.
The second thing, or sign if you will, we were experiencing a simple summer shower and I thought it was going to produce a rainbow, it did not and I looked. Later I was walking out front to check out the cart situation and low and behold there was a rainbow, unexpected.  As I stood there it became brighter and brighter, almost causing a double. How exciting that was since I had just asked for it.
I wonder if they both were signs from my parents that everything is going to be ok and they are watching over me every day and when possible and for my own good they give me what I want still from the other side?
Guess I will have to wait for those answers until I get there with them.

5 top reasons to move to Alaska

Here are my top five reasons I want to move to Alaska
First and foremost I think it is on of the most beautiful places with the snow and open wilderness.
I love waking up to snow outside. Sounds odd coming from someone who is always cold. Which leads me to the second reason.
It is always cold. I am always cold anyway might as well be able to wear heavy clothes and not look goofy....   Here comes the third reason
Sleeveless blouses or shirts are almost non-existent. Which is a great thing since the older I get the jigglier my arms get and I will not wear sleeveless things anymore.
Shoes are actually for the most part boots.. I love boots, any boots.
Wild life, I have always wanted to see big animals, even if they want to eat me... they have to eat also. I do not have much actual meat on my bones, more like a really fatty burger.
So now I ask for help to the Alaska fund by visiting my eBay  http://myworld.ebay.com/spovio site and my Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/Suestreasures2012?ref=si_shop site and support the cause.
All items are shipped the next business day. and for the household items I need to sell them to be able to move and get on to the next step of the journey.

Starting with a dream

Starting with a dream of moving to Alaska. 
I have to remind myself daily, sometimes hourly, the dream is the beginning.  The hows are not for me to worry about.  The dream is the most important, and everyday I have to take one step toward it.
Today I looked around and realized I do not need anything here but my cats.  And if I could sleep on a sofa bed for ten years I can sleep anywhere.
Where I want to go in Alaska is far up way past the Arctic Circle, to the coldest part of the country.  I am not sure how I will get there but I do know I will get there!  A couple of the things I think about are food, shelter, and water.  Back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
I do know I do not need much, and for the most part I do not eat meat so guess what guys, I will not have to shoot any animals, I hope.  I will have to learn how to eat more fish though....
There are so many things to look forward to. 
Looking out and seeing nothing but mountains. Watching the animals coming past.
I have no wilderness training or even survival training but I do believe our natural instincts allow those traits to come out when needed.
Why? Why would I want to give up all of civilization to trek into the wilderness?  I am not sure however, I do know this is not working in my heart. I know the idea of moving there has put an excitement into me which has not been there since I was getting ready to move to the Florida Keys.  A kind of wanderlust which rests in my soul.  This is the first time I am on my own, totally on my own, no relationship to tie me down and I am free to follow my heart and soul.  Where that will lead me I am not sure but the excitement I feel is beyond anything I have ever felt in any other time.
I have learned when there is another person involved all kinds of feelings are hurt along the way and it ends up destroying the relationship.  Maybe if I find another soul with the wanderlust and sense of adventure I have it could work, but for the now it feels great to follow my dreams. Which one of them is moving to the Alaska Arctic Circle.
