| The things I carried with me on a one-year journey of California. |
Basecamp, CA – Two
years ago I packed up six suitcases, put them into my car and launched on a
one-year pilgrimage across California. I
lived in one California city per month for a year. My
desire was to discover the meaning of my life—the overarching goal was to write
a book about this experience.
On the journey, I learned so many lessons—the most
important was to release attachment to outcome. Allow things to be what they are, rather
than what I think they should be. All
suffering comes from holding on to a certain way of being in the world. This holding on creates a rigidity that can
often break a person in half. There are
many broken people in the world.
After the journey—which was one long daytrip, is when I
learned more about the meaning of my life, which is to help others through
their process of transformation. Visit
my new website and you’ll see that I am now a “personal project manager” –
helping make my client’s dreams come true.
Now, about that book…I’m happy to report that the first
draft of the manuscript is complete.
Since I embody the lesson learned about releasing attachment to outcome,
it has been made very clear to me that the book will not be just about the
one-year pilgrimage through California, but rather about my own process of transformation
from ages 48 – 52. I release attachment
to what I once thought the book should be, and accept what it will reveal
itself to be.
This gentle release creates a sense of well-being because
it’s based on faith and trust that all is as it should be. We are all on a journey and I believe if we
treat this journey as one-long daytrip, we would discover that it can be
joyful. Further, if we release
attachment to outcome and allow it to be what it is, we would once again be
made whole.

Tahoe City: the first place I lived on
the journey. Everything was bright, shiny
and new...so grateful.

Here’s to wherever you are on your journey, may it be
divine.
