My Moving Experience


I’ve been taking care of various aspects of my move all month and now as the month of September comes near to a close, the final bits will be done and I will be settling in a new home.  Sometime in the next day or two, my computer will get packed up and put on a truck.  I don’t expect to post much during that time as it will depend on availability of access and free moments amidst the busyness of relocating. 

In recent days my cat has become increasingly skittish, knowing that something strange is up for her.  She is not going to like the two days of staying in an unknown place while her life is up-rooted only to find herself boxed into a car for 9 hours of driving to parts completely foreign to her.  I know where I am going and mostly why.  I have had time to adjust to the idea but for her this is the end of a world and the beginning of a new one.  



It may be just as much of a change for me as I have put roots down deep in this land and the community that I am leaving.   Because I was born here and lived all my life no more than 20 miles from that portal where I entered at the hospital in downtown Orlando, I have taken my time and spent the last three years gently preparing for this transplantation, pulling up the roots little by little and setting things up for an easy move.  Now the last of that is nearly done.  I have said many goodbyes and see you laters; I have packed most of what I will take, given away what will not be needed and cleaned up what is left.  I am preparing this place that I now sit in for a new family and I am very happy that they will have such a special place to live.  I have deep appreciation for my good fortune in having lived in these beautiful woods with all of the animal residents, flowing waters, bright skies and fresh breezes.



I have many things that I want to share with you in the near future and plan to blog more regularly once I settle in up in the mountains.  I will share with you how almost every aspect of my life is changing in this time.  I am leaving behind a huge and generous community, a regular comfortable income, and face-to-face time with a couple of grown children, my parents and various other siblings and their offspring.   I am going out on a limb to test my own proficiency at manifesting and I will share more details of that soon.  

If you have gone through similar transitions in your life, feel free to share comments, significant memories or bits of advice.  

I will be raring to go for another round of the prosperity game in late October or early November.  It feels like the perfect time to begin work on visioning more beauty and goodness for my new environment.  I hope you will wait for me for a week or two while I make this change.  I will come back with much to share and I hope that YOU will join me and perhaps even invite a friend to share the journey here and play the next round of the Prosperity Game at www.facebook.com/HeartofProsperity

Sacred Economics: the lastest book from Charles Eisenstien.

I have had a multitude of things I want to blog about lately but I am in the midst of a big move and I am not finding the time or mood for actually doing the writing.  I'll get to it eventually and let you know what I am up to but for now, I really wanted to share this with you. 

This comes from my friend, Charles Eistenstein and concerns his latest book:

Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition
I have been inspired by his work and you may be too. 


Hello everyone,

I've been looking forward to writing this email for a couple years now, and the day is finally here. My new book, Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition, is now in print. I'll offer a description below that you can cut-and-paste to tell others about this book. To purchase it, ask at your local independent bookstore, or you can order it on Amazon, B&N, etc. It will also be available on line (for free), serialized on Reality Sandwich. The first several chapters are up already. Even if you buy the print version, you might want to offer comments there.

Essentially, the book describes a money system that is the ally of a healed world, a money system that no longer contributes to the despoliation of nature, culture, and the human spirit. It explains:
how money came to be what it is today
how and why we have entered a state of irremediable crisis
how the present crisis is birthing us toward a new kind of economy
the psychological and civilizational dimensions of the economic transition
concrete features of a sacred economy, and the economic logic behind them
policies to bring about the transition to sacred economy
how individuals can begin living its principles today

... and lots more. It weaves together economic arguments, philosophical and spiritual insights, original ideas, and long-standing intellectual traditions. Many of the policy recommendations of this book are outside the spectrum of mainstream political and economic discourse. However, I believe that as the present crisis worsens, that as it becomes apparent that "normal" isn't coming back, that as the institutions of the old system crumble at an accelerating pace, people will be looking for new ideas, and what was once radical will become commonsense. I believe that time is soon upon us. I urgently hope that these ideas will spread quickly. They are desperately needed. There isn't much more of the world that we can convert into money.

If you are moved by this book, please help spread the word.
