hi everyone! so i've now been home for 6 days.. and i wanna go back!!!!! i freaking love new england!!!! what a wonderful place!!!! and, thanx to some advise from jackal i think i have figured out one of my past lives!! i think i lived in ma in the past! not salem, but somewhere in ma.. something very strong came over me when i got there.. it was like i came home!! kinda weird huh?!
so on my flight out i had a layover in Cincinnati, Ohio. wow! what a pretty state!! so green! sat in the air port for an hour.. listened to music and wrote.. it's weird, whenever i travel i become very comfortable in my own skin! i so wish i could keep that feeling when i am home!! lol!! so here's a little didi that i wrote while i waited for my sky coach to take me to my bestwitch
free and gental
strong and soft
crazy and sane
uniquely me
i love banjos
i see ghost
i see peoples souls
i feel what animals feel
i laugh at life
i dance in the rain and the wind
i greet the sun and the moon
music moves me in more ways than one...
i am uniquely me!
ok.. enough about me!!!! lol! so i totally fell head over heals-in-love with erin's school!!! OMG it is sooo peaceful and beautiful!!! here are some pix of her campus
this is the view from her room this was the first thing i saw the next morning

here is my boyfriend

my favorite spot to sit while i would ponder my past life!

here's why i am soo jelous of her!!!

here is her little chapel that is on campus
the beauty of the inside!
me on the outside

this is the mixed faith part of the chapel and the public alter that erin helps with

this was just to funny

and the library where i had the strangest experience!!!!!

i was VERY drawn to this building!!! and one day while erin was in class it began to rain! so i had no where else to go, so i went to the library. i read their for a while while i waited for my friend.. there was a wooden staircase in the same room that i was reading in, i so disparately wanted to go up it!! but i told myself to ask erin when she came to get me. so when she came back i did. she said "don't know, lets go up it". when i started to go up i felt like my dog just died!!! something horribly painful and sad just washed over me!!!! but i kept going.. thinking it would pass... well once i got to the top i looked over the little banister that was there. we were at the top floor of the library. i just turned around and said that i had to go!! i couldn't be up here any longer! i had the feeling that someone either wanted to jump off of there at one time or like someone did!!! i wanted to cry, scream, run , or pass out! i turned to erin and asked her to feel my hands.. they were totally clammy and wet!!! that has NEVER happened to me before!! it was pretty weird! i have pix of the inside and of the stairs, but i forgot to up load them.. i can post later if you wanna see! :D
and here's the beautiful green house they have on campus!

so i spent most of my time at her campus soaking in the beauty of the place! on thursday i was able to chat with miss lisa! what a wonderful person she is!!! i felt so comfy chatting with her! poor thing was so busy with packing and moving that we weren't able to meet up.. but the phone call and the texting was great!! on saturday and sunday we went to salem!! we only got a little lost.. no biggie! :D the reason we went on saturday was for a book signing from ellen dugan and then a class later that night.. it was at laurie cabots shop

omg!!! if you EVER have the chance to go to one of ellen's classes or book signings.. DO IT!!! i freaking LOVE her!!! she was sooo funny!!! i learned so much from her! it was so neat to be able to put a voice to the words! i would fly out to salem for another class in a heartbeat!! and if you haven't read one of her books.. DO IT!! lol! she is really great.. have i already said that?? lol! here's a pic from after the class
so erin and i were able to speak with laurie cabot for a second! lol! she was really busy so we didn't want to bother her! but she was a very sweet lady! it was truly a magical night!! :D
here's some more pix from salem

ya, that says bunghole!! lol!!
and here is erin and i at the grave yard.... i was able to nab me some dirt!! good stuff!! very powerful!! i got it from under this tree.


and here we are completely outta character!!!
and as our journey came to an end we decide to eat here

good food!!
so on my way home i had layover in atlanta georga.. it was quite beautiful as well!! i just loved the southern hospitality and accent!! :D it was pouring down rain as we left though, but we made it ok! and as i landed in california i was able to see the devastation of the wild fires!! just crazy!! and i have to say, i LOVE going on vacation.. but it was sooo nice to be home!! my dogs were so happy to see me! and i just felt good to be back in my home town!!! :D
blessed be my dear friends!! thank you for reading about my wonderful adventure!!
kiss kiss!,
