Bonjour mes amies!
Evonne - I had a fantastic, wonderful time! Thank-you
Montreal was amazing! We decided to just stay there... and not venture off to NY... anyone and everyone knows that NY cant be done in just a few hours... not fairly anyway. I had one week of relaxation, great food, great company, and I was especially drawn to Old Montreal. This city I think is one of Canada's best kept secrets..although it isnt really a secret. It made me realize just how big and diverse Canada is. Made me realize that I really need to take up french again... my high school french is just not what it once was. I spent the first part of the trip looking for signs, looking for buildings that had stuff in it. Then I stopped. I realized that when I "look" for stuff, it usually means I am not ready. Much like my desire to search for who my guides are, when I go off "looking for them", I realize I am not ready for them. When I stop and let life happen the way it should, then things will present themselves as it should and will. I have thought long and hard about Kellog's one comment - well his post without a doubt gave me a few things to gnaw over - but one particularily has made an impact... "Everyone who has a song you can hear, will sing it. Everyone who has a loving msg to share, should prove it. You who have a mind/heart to bear - must use it." I have spent such a large part of my life shutting things off... and now that I understand things a smidge more (knowing that there is still way so much out there to be learned), am I ready to prove what I share...? This is an answer that I only can give, this I know... I know that I can feel things, sometimes see things, hear things... I have spent years running... but now that I dont want to run, and I want to overcome such fears, should I just focus on the now rather than what is to come? Common sense tells me - focus on the now. Much like my furry little feline friends, a large part of me thirsts for what lies ahead... curiousity allows me to move ahead. I can do both... perhaps the best thing I can do is just take one day at a time. I love the feedback that I have received on this page... thank-you everyone!
Gosh I hope this post made sense... I am still on holiday mode.
