Well, summer is in full swing in Kelowna, B.C. and so is the most curious thing...old people jogging with ipods. Suddenly they're everywhere. What do old people jog to? I must know. 'Baby Hit Me One More Time?' 'Soulja Boy'? 'Charlie Pride'? One can only speculate. Maybe we could trade secrets in what gets us going? My secret is 'Wasting My Hate' by Metallica, because no matter how wiped I am I can run like the wind whenever I play it. It's like magic. Though my other fitness freak friend Ryan seethes 'Metalhead' at me, like I've contacted the plague whenever I mention this magic trick. How can you know unless you try it, c'mon.
I also frequently see very, very elderly people riding bicycles...so elderly that you have to resist the automatic reflex to start trotting along behind them with your arms held out ready to cushion their fall. At the very least you want to call out, "are you ok there?" as they wobble by all smiles and hellos. So far I've resisted these primal urges, and fortunately they do seem to manage, God bless them. This is 'fitness freak heaven' for me, people even run in the rain, there are no excuses. I'm nestled in with my own kind.

Ahhh, I am head over in heels in love with my new world. Buffy thinks that she came to see me by plane, but I know that really she came on angels wings. I was sure to give her a great big hug before I asked her, "BB, can I borrow some money so I can do my laundry", and "BB, can I use your phone so that I can order a debit card so that I can do my laundry in the near future". I swear another day without cash and I was going to have to start finding really creative ways to find change. But I am pleased to announce that I am now successfully managing my life once again with a debit card and phone in tow.

But her visit turned out to have many surprises of it's own. We had, one could say, a spiritual frenzy. It was most unexpected and maybe that is why it was so powerful. You know those moments where you know you are in the perfect place at the perfect time and that everything in your life is in divine and perfect order, so was my whole time with Buffy. Kelowna is full of healing energies, from the magnificent lake, to the crystals in the hills and the ash in the ground, and Buffy and I managed to manifest opening up an energetic gateway of change and empowerment. Our chakras were spinning, our skin was tingling, our auras were growing and all sorts of enlightenment occurred. We meditated on Knox mountain, we layed by the lake and just opened ourself up to all of this nourishment and inevitable change such happenings bring into our life.

I was reflecting a lot when Buffy was here on how profoundly amazing my life has become already and my time with Buffy was another step into more of this...this place where life is no longer passing me by but I am truly living my life. The experiences that I asked to have around 2 years ago have begun to happen now. That is when I asked to fall in love with myself, to know happiness and peace, to be authentic, to be surrounded by amazing and wonderful people who energize me, to live somewhere beautiful and most important, to feel free.

Well when I start to manifest something I generally don't have much patience. I want to give it about a week and it's been a huge learning experience to understand the timing and the groundwork that needs to go into making our desires our reality. It requires a lot of shifting and a lot of change to put us in the right place that we need to be and most often these changes create a great deal of challenges and discomfort. To grow, you have to break down all of those boundaries and walls that are holding you back and that is a vulnerable place to be, but once you do it's done and all there is to do is to rebuild, to have faith and surrender to the process that recreates your life, to give to you what you've chosen to experience.

Well it works, this whole new awareness we can now engage, the awareness that we create our experience of life on earth. I cannot even express to you what it has felt like to love myself, to experience profound happiness and all of these unbelievable things. It is miraculous. I'm very excited about the next stage in my manifestations. To name a few, to be financially independent and free, to have a great big house by the lake so that you all can come out for spiritual retreats and experience all of this healing energy....to see the world...to heal and energize every person I encounter on any given day, to understand my power to personally engage the healing of the whole globe, to love mother earth in everything I do....to do what I came here to do.

So now my heart is pounding and I don't know if this speaks your language, but if it does, I hope you will choose something you deeply desire to experience, simply choose it, write it down and let it happen in it's own way, in it's own time...and maybe you'll be with me at my big house down by the lake when it does.

All of my love,
