Hi Everyone
,
I just wanted to stop in and say hi to you all, even though I don't have much time to comment on individual posts this time around. I have, however, been visiting this thread and reading it whenever I can, to keep up with the discussions. I'm encouraged by the various stories of self-healing and removing/releasing inner energy blockages!
First of all, thanks everyone for your positive comments on my hair! The color has now settled down slightly, as expected, but it has still stayed auburn, and still glows like a new copper penny when I'm out in the sun, so I'm happy about that!
Secondly, to make a long story short, we've returned from our search down south of here, and we have found a new, magical place to live! Hurray!
(
Sandy, your intuition was right!) It's in the small town of Monte Rio, right on the Russian River in the redwoods. It's about 10 miles inland from the coast, and right next to wine country, about 15 miles north of Sebastopol (and maybe 7 miles north of Occidental), equidistant from many different and equally-appealing environments! It's also right near the Armstrong Redwoods State Park, where there are supposed to be some really spectacular redwoods, so we'll have to check that out too! (Speaking of redwoods, yes,
Mo, I've seen the Muir Woods near San Francisco, and they're magnificent; I would highly recommend visiting them if you get the chance!
)
Below are a couple of pictures: The first one is the view of the Russian River and the redwoods from our back deck, and the second one is the little narrow one-lane road through the redwoods that our house is on. We'll be officially moving into this place on July 1st, and our lease at our current place ends on the 15th, so we'll be bustling about to finish packing and coordinate everything in the next week or two. After we get settled in, I'll hopefully be able to contribute more to this thread again!
I've got to run for now; we have tons of things to do! It's always great connecting with you all!
Love and Blessings to All of You
