The Dream Mobile!

Our Wonderful New Vacation and Get Away Tool!

It is all ours now. This gorgeous 1989 Airstream 370LE and extremely rare and gorgeous Airstream. It is literally a collectors item as only 15 of them were ever made in 1989 and now only five remain on the road and we have one of them. It is in immaculate condition and we are thrilled to have it. The previous owners were so sad to see it go, but they know that they sold to two people who would take as good a care of it that coach as they did. How great is that. There are such wonderful, positive, vibrant people in the world and my husband and I connect to these types of people instantly. Pat and Patty were our type of people! We connected instantly.

Then there are the types that are selfish, self-absorbed, jealous, constantly negative, and energy suckers. Those are the people that I am working on removing from my life as quickly as possible. I absolutely can not and will not surround myself with these energy suckers because they so want to be happy and have the light of love in their eyes but they just can't do it themselves, so they suck the rest of us dry. Argh. Those types I am throwing in the trash can, literally, the trash being for yucky people.

However I will continue praying for these people and I know who they are and I pray that they find their own light and stop feeding off of everyone else.

So, with that off my back, I can say that I am thrilled to have this glorious new Airstream we've named the Dream Mobile. Because it is our dream and certainly my dream to be gone for the builk of the winter. I have more girl friends wanting to come down that my husband is saying that he is going to have to kick the chick slumber party out so he can have a little time with his wife. What a hoot.

But, first we are getting a queen size bed in that Airstream because who uses twin beds anymore? I mean really. Good Grief. More to come...

PS please take time to say a kind word to someone who so obviously doesn't feel good about themselves or are so insecure they can't move forward themselves. They can use our good thoughts and God's wonderful love to intervene.

Are You Ready To Rumble? Because I am!! Ha!

Beyond Excitement-- if there is such a thing

I truly do not know if one can be so excited that they are ready to burst, but that would be me right now. Here's the thing...

I feel like I have finally landed after careening down the black and horrible tunnel I have been sliding down for the past four years. Yes, I have come to a dead stop and amazingly enough, I am now on the way back up. God is truly my savior and the love of my life. I am entirely grateful to have such faith and a faith which has been restored to an even higher level than once before. I have a friend who has said to me a gazillion times, how his mother would "work the beads" and this is exactly what I have done and the most consistent action I have taken for the past four years. Every time I thought my life was over or that my life was destroyed and over, something would happen, which would seemingly come out of no where, snap my head around, and suddenly my perspective about my situation would change, or my situation would actually change, and I would be left in awe. The type of awe which only God can provide. All because I worked the beads.

Now, here I am, still climbing out a little at a time, but climbing out of the fray, the depression, the despair, the hate, the rage, the...everything else that comes with being buried in a hateland which was so awful that I could not imagine my life anything but over. It is truly, truly amazing that I no longer feel this same way. At all.

So, yesterday, I was discussing the tough past few years with my Naturopathic doctor, Nita Champion, and she was truly amazed and respectful of the fact that not one time during that dark period of my life had I ever resorted to taking an anti-depressant or an anti-anything else for that matter because the pills would alter my thinking and feeling.

No, Nita was actually amazed that I was willing to allow myself to FEEL the depression and despair because it is a NORMAL and NATURAL response when difficult, and majorly challenging times occur in our lives. I am not in any way judging how others handle their emotions, but I do want to say that there are other ways one can respond to the pain and suffering and dark times of life than taking pills to alter a feeling which is normal and natural. I will, however, confess to having terrible thoughts of suicide, which never in my life had I ever even considered. But, I could not resort to that because I thought it so selfish and hurtful to those people who loved me so much: my husband, my family, my closest friends. Instead, I leveraged those very people to help me deal with the pain, suffering and sorrow I was experiencing. Most importantly, I leaned and relied on God more than at any other point in my entire life. I fell in love with God all over again because He, once again, saved my life. He gave my life back to me many times during the course of my life and I owe Him everything. Everything.

Also, I owe homage to the phrase my friend so unknowingly gave me.

Work The Beads.

And another little thing:: Thank you, God! We have an Airstream!! What a hoot. Never in my wildest dreams. Ha!!!!!!

1989 Airstream 370LE--certainly one of a kind!

How fabulous is this?? I mean really. This particular Airstream is extremely rare as reported in an earlier blog. There are only five of these units remaining in existing and on the road.

According to Bob Wheeler, President + CEO of Airstream, we have a just purchased a truly rare and classic beauty. Plus, Bob has now named me one more in the "tribe" of hardcore Airstreamers and I am blessed to have such recognition.

The interior I will be revamping to fit my style of interior design, of course. I love the previous owner but pink and gilded gold are just not me so we will be doing a little uplift and bringing this into the 21 C. or simply returning it to its retro style I haven't decided yet. I simply need to spend some time in the unit to see what type of "sense" I get from it.

Now, I am off to see a Naturopathic doctor, whose name is Nita Champion. I will give you the outcome of the meeting of course. You can count on it. I am thrilled to be honoring the anthesis of our Western medicine ideas and balancing that with some Chinese medicine. I figure, if the Chinese have been doing things for over 2,000 years it can't be bad!! It is probably really good...the opposite of what I think. So this is very, very good indeed.

Jeez, I think I am beginning to write in the way Ducky speaks on NCIS my favorite TV show, period. Mark Harmon could not be any hotter, I mean really. Yikes.

Okay, more to come shortly.
