It's Like That...
"We long for Love, success, abundance and all that is good to come into our Life. Yet, many of us feel we are not worthy of such good fortune. It is a great moment when we finally realize we are worthy of all the goodness, all the greatness and all the Love that Life has to offer. For it is that moment we realize our true nature, our true identity and from that moment forward our lives change. When we know we are worthy of our Heart's desire, it shows up effortlessly."

Surfing.
I'm officially a real life gypsy.
I have since left my friends lovely home in the quiet Paris suburb of Cachan, to...of all things...end up...
Couch Surfing.
Let me just say...
A
W
E
S
O
M
E
experience.
I've been forced [knowingly and consciously] to trust in the Universe and allow my life to literally develop right before my eyes.
I began this authentic gypsy lifestyle last week, Thursday night. After working my first night at one of the coolest bars in Paris, not knowing where I was going to sleep the following evening, I was sent an angel...with an available couch.
Word.
So here's basically how it went...
I returned to Cachan after I got off work...uh, at 6am...and crashed for my last night [which was, by that time, really Thursday morning]. After "sleeping" for the "night" [...I hardly consider 3.5hrs of sleep, waking up at 10am after an all night shift, a "good nights sleep" LOL], I finished packing my suitcases, at a nice lunch and Nespresso-ed a purple capsule [anyone who knows about Nespresso, the purple cap has a "strength" level of 9...GOOD MORNING!].
Upon my what-is-my-new-life-adventure-going-to-be-like reflection, and chat with, Fetta, my friend's nanny, as I awaited official confirmation of my couch, I made a call to Shine & had one last chit chat before my adventure began. [I had no idea when I was going to have access to another "fixed" line, cuz my cell is prepaid...and an hour+ of .55c/min chitting is not in this gypsy's current budget! ...and we're talking Euros folks...]
The few days prior to leaving my friend's place, I had been pretty scared of what the unknown would bring. It truly took effort for me to continually shift my thinking and feeling toward what I wanted to experience...rather than seeing myself sitting in some random phone booth with all my shit in the rainy Paris winter...which could have been very real...if I chose that thought.
For [especially] those few days before, I really shifted my beliefs of what "was" and what could be. I literally had to give up trying to "figure it all out", and allow what I believed the Universe to be...be. And, trust It.
So, I trusted.
Around 3:45 [aka 15h45 cuz I'm in France] Thursday afternoon, I got my confirmation on the couch.
It's ON and poppin!
The Universe has delivered.
After the "ok" on the couch, not only did I manifest a RIDE to my next destination...as opposed to lugging all my shit on the Metro...I was also able to see my friend's all together before I left their house and eat a delicious din din.
I was happy.
I spent the next 2 nights on a couch in Vanves, another Parisian suburb...pretty much a lateral move from Cachan. Great place, great couch, great new friend.
Thankful.
Time for more purposeful creating..."I want to be IN Paris."
I've been in the suburbs since I've been here, only visiting Paris during the days and for an occasional night out. It was time for me to really do the Paris thing.
Knowing I had until Sunday night on the Vanves couch, Saturday morning, I sent 2 couch surfing requests on CouchSurfing.com, and set off into Paris to do godknowswhat. While on the metro, after downing a sandwich from the boulangerie, I decided to go to sit on the steps of Sacre Coeur and look over the city.
When I arrived in 18th, it was the usually 38 million tourists crawling the streets like vermin. I busted thru the crowds, iPod blaring Jimi Hendrix in my ears, and headed toward the church that doesn't recognize shorts as appropriate. [read about that here.]
After being harassed by street vendors, I finally managed my way to the top of the steps. I found a nice corner and lit my black clove. I watched the crows, the tourists, the sky and the city. Jimi really makes for a great life soundtrack, let me tell you. I looked out into the wild gray yonder and envisioned living IN Paris. Twenty minutes or so had passed when I got a text saying "Are U still searching un coach for tonight? Flo (from CS)"
Oui. [!!]
and, again....
It's ON and poppin!

Mustard Seed.
You never really know how you affect others by just Being your Self.
I've been fortunate to hear how much my Being has impacted others in a positive way.
It's quite a blessing I must say.
wow.
thank you!
[be the change...]

Today's Horoscope...
Someone is spying on my life and sending me messages online...
My horoscope for today:
Sunday, Nov 22nd, 2009 -- You may be uneasy with all that's happening now, yet this is an opportunity for you to move past your own fears. You often prefer to hold on to what you already have because familiarity breeds security. But this isn't about being safe; it's about taking a risk to align your life with your true intentions. You could be pleasantly surprised today if you have the courage to stretch beyond your regular limits.
Honestly, I'm quite happy for the angels who are stalking me. Their messages are right on!

Creation.
From Love,
I created you.
I imagined you.
I wrote a list of all the things that I wanted you to be.
I dreamt of you.
You appeared.
I was surprised, to say the least.
Because you are perfect.
You are beautiful inside and out.
From head to toe.
Your eyes shine like jewels in the sun.
Your heart is as expansive as the Universe.
Your soul glows a golden light.
Your voice resonates peace and tranquility.
You are kind and gentile.
You are generous and selfless.
You are loving and affectionate.
You are compassionate and considerate.
Our souls met eons ago.
We have traveled many lifetimes together.
We have created together.
I know who you are.
You are a god.
You are a creator.
You are Love manifested.
My heart felt joy and shone brighter than the sun.
All I wanted to do was love you,
To stroke your hair,
Caress your skin,
And tell you everything will be alright.
But...
From fear,
I created, too.
I was afraid of being hurt,
As I had been many times before.
I invented excuses,
And reasons why.
I tried to find flaws, real ones.
But I couldn't.
I know your circumstances aren't perfect,
So my fear used that as leverage.
My heart wanted to move beyond it,
Because I know your burdens will end soon.
But your fears came in and joined mine,
And they created together.
We separated from each other.
We needed "space".
I cried.
My heart was broken.
I felt the pain that I expected,
That I feared would come about.
I got mad at you.
I blamed you for being caught up in the outside world.
I tried to point the finger, but
I created this, too.
Now...
I see, clearly,
Our abilities as god and goddess.
We can create our lives as we see it,
As we want.
Or we can create our lives otherwise.
From this moment,
I have decided to re-create.
I have chosen to return to my original intention,
Love.
I see you, again.
Your smile.
Your Light.
Your heart.
Your soul.
Love conquers all.
Love has conquered my fear.
My hope is that it has conquered yours too.
God.
Goddess.
Love.
Creation.
