Good Morning America, How are Ya?

Okay, today is Thursday. It is 6:30AM, Mountain time. I am heading out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. General impressions.... I don't really like New Mexico. Just not digging it. Today I will journey farther out into the desert. Two thoughts this morning... One: each time I step into my White Knight, I hear "Dun-da-da-daaa, off we go my lady!" I know, I know.... but that's what I hear. And two: I have a song in my head this morning, it just keeps looping through my mind....

Good Morning America, how are ya?
Don't ya know me? I'm your native son.
Born in the City of New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred miles before the day is done.

For the record, I was born in New Orleans. I'm am excited about today. I'm heading for a field trip to Walnut Canyon, just East of Flagstaff, Arizona. I'm going to explore how Native Americans lived in a canyon, set-up like townhomes, almost eight hundred years ago! Then I'll stay in Flagstaff tonight. Today will be an enjoyable, slower moving day. Then tomorrow, I'm on to L.A.!

It feels a little bit strange, for the first time in my life, to be driving away from the sun; almost counter intuitive. The sun is rising up behind me. But it occurs to me, that the Earth is a circle, there is no one beginning point. It just happens that I've always been in the East and now I am shaking it up like a snow globe. Revitalizing my soul. Change is good. Keeps you sharp, on your feet, and keeps you alive!

Last night as I lay down to sleep, for the first time, I could sense the presence of my future husband. I had a sense of him spooning me and holding me. At first it was a bit disconcerting. I've been solo for a while now. But I gently reaffirmed to myself that he is coming and this is what I have been asking for. I could then also, ever so slightly perceive myself with the children that will be mine one day. I could feel it and I could see it. I am so excited about my future.

Okay, so I still do not know where I am going to live once I reach L.A. tomorrow. Last night I tried looking on Craig's List again, for apartments/sub-lets/shared rentals. But as soon as I initiated my searches, I got that clenching feeling in the center of my chest and my body told me, "Don't even pursue this avenue, this isn't the path" because it started to make me feel bad. So with that said, I've had another alternate vision (from the cottage I'm dreaming of). I don't know exactly where I'm going to live in Santa Monica. I don't know if I'm going to be moving directly into the little cottage that I've been envisioning in my mind for over a year now. Or if I'm going to be house-sitting in a fantastic house. I carry with me the image of Kate Winslet in the movie The Holiday, when she house swaps with Cameron Diaz, and gets to the house in L.A. The house is unbelievably fantastic and Kate Winslet is jumping up and down with joy. Well, I have this vision of myself doing the same thing, I'm so excited I'm bursting out of my body, sending off sparks because I'm so happy and excited. I'm saying "This is perfect" and "I can't believe my luck!" I don't know how I manifested it, but then the "how" is never our job. My job is to know what I want, to visualize it, see it, feel it. And it will come. And so, I feel pretty excited about it.

I'm just West of Albuquerque, the temperature has already gone from 45 degrees to 28. The desert is beautiful. Ahead of me, there is one straight cloud line, streaming down from the heavens, straight down from the sky! And it's pointing towards California. I know it's for me... "Go this way, Melanie." Oooh, and I just blew by a billboard that was talking directly to me!

For the first time on this entire journey, I've lost my cell phone reception. And I'm not frightened. I'm incredibly excited. My body is vibrating. I know I am on the right path.
