We spent the next few days cruising Yosemite and taking in the impressive beauty and majesticness of it all. It’s not my first time vising this national park but it is the first time I truly appreciated the grandness and enjoyed learning the back story of John Muir as there was a little book at the house.
I drove for the most part which turned out to be a highlight because driving for me come to find out is a form of meditation. I hadn’t thought much about it until one afternoon Kim asks me why I’m so quiet when I drive. It’s either a time for me to focus on something or think about nothing at all. I realized then that it was quite meditative, especially concentrating on the windy roads with so much precious cargo onboard.
We stopped for gas upon first entering the park and stopped in a little store for gum and whatnot when I spotted a basket full of inspirational rocks. I closed my eyes and dug around before pulling my rock that read SUCCESS. I took the basket to Kim and Ber and was like, see what Spirit’s got for ya. When Kim pulled out PEACE and then Ber with HEALING, I snatched those rocks right outta their hands and headed straight for the register.
It’s exactly what we all needed to hear because it’s exactly what we’re all striving for, not just on this trip but on our journey’s all together. It was such a beautiful moment. Kim was just saying that morning that she needed to find more peace in her life, I know I’m destined for success, and Ber is all about healing on a physical and mental level. But then again, aren’t we all though at the end of the day. I absolutely love it when Spirit speaks so silently loud it’s unmistakable, it blows my mind and never get’s old. I’m all goosey writing about it, super grateful, always thankful.
I remember saying once upon a time, and this was in the beginning of my awakening when I was still somewhat, you could say angry, with those I felt at the time had betrayed me. I have since of course grown as a person right along with matured spiritually and have forgiven any and all ill feelings I may have had. But I specifically recall writing about how I didn’t believe in revenge, and I dont, which is why I said my success would be my revenge and pulling that rock only solidified it for me.
It was actually later that evening when I was in my bedroom preparing for my bath when I received the knowing. It’s in those quiet moments when you’re not necessarily looking for anything as far as guidance or a need to understand when you oftentimes hear from Spirit the most. I remember the exact moment like it was five minutes ago. I was walking across the room when it flooded my brain and permeated my heart and I just knew that I was destined for success. I didn’t even need to know how and still don’t need to know how I’m getting there, I just know I’m on my way.
We got such a good laugh later in the evening. I went outside to mention to the girls that there was a gnarly spider in the hallway and I wasn’t sure what to do about it. It was huge and now I know it to be a wolf spider, but it was definitely larger than the average house spider. Ber was on it though and she says to grab a plastic cup, a piece of paper and a spatula. 
You may as well have been watching an episode of The Three Stooges because it was an epic fail on the first go.
Kim had the first crack at carrying it out of the house and when something went wrong everything went flying, including us, or especially us because we all scattered to opposite ends of the room. The spider went under the couch so we moved that and had a second go at it and this time I mustered the courage to be the one to carry it outside. I mean let’s be real, this thing was too big to squish and no one wanted to do that anyway. It was hysterical though and I was definitely proud of myself for being courageous. Never a dull moment that’s for sure.
Love and Light
