SO, I realize I am down to blogging once a month and that’s because I REALLY want to get my other website up and going before I really dig in.  And with that being said, here’s what’s been going on since I last posted!

It was with mixed feelings that I left Ohio about 35 days ago.  I had fun spending time with family and Doug and have to admit, I secretly am in love with the rolling green hills of the Amish Ohio country side, but The Universe has pointed out on more than one occasion that now is not my time to be there.

I moved back to Colorado as of April 2nd and couldn’t be happier with any decision (except that whole India thing).  With the help of a good friend, I have started my own business assisting seniors and challenged people and it’s been going well thus far!  I have been accepted to Naropa University in Boulder for the Master of Divinity program starting this fall.  I have been running into old friends and have been busy as a bee getting caught up and telling my story.  For some reason, people would rather hear me tell the story than read the blog even though there are pictures on the blog.  I have been finding myself running into complete strangers that want to hear my story and I end up making MORE friends.  I have been having a particularly fun time hunting down people and passing out the presents that I got them.  My family at Sopris has been welcoming yet understanding that I have no desire to ever return to A)the computer world and B) work for a large corporation.  They have all begged me to come back but understand that it just won’t happen.  I guess I underestimate people?  I have lunch, hang out and chit chat with more Sopris people than I can imagine some days.

I have also been running into people that can probably help me with bringing Rinzin over for school, how cool is that?  OH!  I almost forgot, I am moving to a sustainable farm in Boulder on June 1st where I am going to be learning strawbale building and different uses for adobe.  They also have some alternative energy projects going on that they need help with so I’m getting practice for my future!  In the mean time, I am staying with the gracious and wonderful Steve and doing house sitting gigs for people.  I am tentatively scheduled to go north to get the kitties on May 28th and I CAN”T WAIT!  I miss my cats so bad.  Patrick sends me pictures and it actually makes me sad when I see them.

I’ve also had some more people contact me about their own trips to India.  Some need reassurance that they won’t end up dead while some just need a little direction and a pep talk, either of which I am happy to provide.  I am also hot on scheduling my next trip back to India next summer.   It’ll only get to be a month long but I’m soooooper excited about it because I have people that want to come with me!  How cool!

I have been making an effort to get out more so I took Tracy Kileen to Denver’s First Friday art walk this past Friday night.  Not only did she and I have a blast, she bought me an ADORABLE hand beaded bracelet and I took her to Mercury Cafe for dinner and she fell in love with the place just as I did a couple years ago.  While on the art walk, we ran into my good friend and former walking partner, Bobby To, and we caught up a bit.  He is joining me for my birthday dinner tonight so we can catch up appropriately.  Bobby is a PV Research Science Engineer at NREL and he and I always have a lot to talk about.  Yesterday I took Steve’s 9 year-old son to a Rockies game and I got hella sunburnt but we had a good time eating everything in sight and watching the Rockies pound the Dodgers!  So I guess I’ll spend the rest of the summer remembering sunblock.  GUH.

Well, I’ve got work to do so I’m going to have to cut this post short.  Being my own boss means I can get things done at strange hours and sometimes that means taking advantage of those strange hours just to get things done, ya know?  And my commute is killer!  No getting dressed if I don’t want to.

SO I’m off to pick up a birthday breakfast treat for myself; wheat-free, gluten free coffee cake at Logan’s coffee shop.  I am thinking about taking cupcakes to a client’s house today, one for each of us.  He’s a lot of fun and totally gets that just because I chose to work on my birthday doesn’t mean I’m not going to have some fun!

I have pics to post but they will have to wait.  And for all of you faithful readers, I promise to try to keep up better with the blogging now that I’m atleast settled in one state.  I’m going in so many directions that sometimes I forget.

Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
