To get what you want-you have to KNOW what you want!

I was one of those big followers of the Law of Attraction-The Secret and the Moses Code" I am" manifestation fan. I went to seminars focused on using that knowledge to manifest wealth,prosperity,abundance ... I saw myself becoming a Metaphysical milllionaire.... I ran a large social network-"I am Prosperity"... I led abundance ceremony... blah,blah,blah...

and yet... I only got so far..HMMMM_ why?

Because what I was seeking to create DID NOT resonate with my SOULS calling!
Because being a wealthy metaphysician living in a manor disconnected to everyday reality was NOT part of my Dharma / right work/ life mission .

I was seeking to create what I thought-I was supposed to want!
Now there is a twist- creating what I was supposed to want-HEY- we are in American- aren't we supposed to WANT to be wealthy and live in luxury???

I fell in with that whole trap-that whole mindset-for a few years.

Then after 2008 and the economic crash-I still tried to do it- for a while... but it was hollow for me.

Being FORCED by circumstances I had to embrace simplicity or go down the tubes... or let my marriage fail-or both!

My husband is a builder /developer-he had all his lifes savings tied up in a multi million dollar construction project planning on early retirement-then one day.. BOOM-CRASH-went the housing market..

I was working as an artist and healer- I got $600- $2200 for my art and made $200 an hour as a healer.. just as suddenly ones that had been happy to pay those prices -were not spending!

We went bankrupt- lost our condo,lost the new car, lost the lifes savings -

We moved from an expensive really nice area of Northern VA where our condo payment was $1400 a month-to the house my husbands father and grandfather had built-just outside a ghetto area in Pittsburgh where we only had a little $100 a month payment- we got a beater car.. the only bills we had were utility bills.We went on food stamps and got food at the Catholic Food Bank.

When we moved-we pulled up in our moving van-after filling it w gas- we had $75.00 left  to our name - and we needed gas in the car and had NO food....none.

We started over-embraced simplicity .. it was a struggle-our ego had to heal and let go of the past!
My husband spiraled into a 2 year depression.Our marriage suffered- we even seperated for a time. I lost my ability to nurture him as I was TIRED and burned out myself.

It was a break in faith as well- all the things I had trusted in-manifestation- abundance... prosperity-things I had taught and lived for.. had failed.

Eventually -about 18 months ago I hear my sister say she was a prepper-I started looking into the whole prepper movement and my husband and I jumped in- for me growing up on a homested it was getting back to the way I was raised-for him as well.. his parents had been depression survivors and always had 2 years of supplies in this very same little cottage.. we began to heirloom seed garden-to practice preparedness.. has simplified and focused our lives even more so.. I will write whole articles on that-I just wanted to touch on base w it today...

Before I go to the next phase I want to express gratitude...

I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF PITTSBURGH-FOR WHICH I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL! Beneath these hard shells are hearts of gold!

At 1st-I struggled to get a footing doing my work as a healer- I  literally had metaphysical business owners seek to keep me away from events- would not let me in-did their best to limit me .. it was WIERD- the fear of competition here...I never could really get things going smoothly in Pittsburgh. I had to deal with fighters for the 1st time- Pittsburgh folks are tough-fighters..being Southern I judged them as crude and rude. They don't trust outsiders...it takes along time to be trusted.. and plus the Catholic church still has such a stranglehold- folks coming out of that are burdened w guilt and made to feel shame- and they are ANGRY...rightly so I should say... SO instead of judging I began a phase of assimilating and learning to be stronger myself.

I am absolutely grateful for the hard lessons.. the folks here are tough- hard workers-sensible,practical-resiliant.. I needed those lessons to move the the next phase of my own incarnation...

Finding what I am truly here to do... FINALLY KNOWING THE PATH THAT calls my soul....

The simplicity path-moving back home to the Mountains of Western NC amongst the old growth forrests and living the way I had lived at the 1st part of my life.. but being able to be metaphysially open! Living in a pagan friendly area...doing my work publicly with no need to fear repurcussions from closed minded folks...

Being OUT as a pagan practitioner-and TEACHING what I know...

The Mystical Homesteading Path- I started out my life on a homestead you see- and I will finish my time on this Blue Jewel in the same way... be there on the homestead when I am 120 years old and die of a massive pleasure induced- orgasmic stroke-lol- with a man 70 years my junior-lol... yep that IS the plan!

I am also fulfilling something my Grandfather prophecied when I was young-that I would bring the Druidic College of Avalon Arising back into 3rd dimensional manifestation- it dwells now in the Etheric Realm.

This is totally ties in with the Homestead -having ones stay for a 9 month school year ... learning about the Ancient Order of Practitioners of Dana- wearers of brown... simplicity and frugality seekers- homesteading-learning the Olde Ways-the ways of self sufficiency, Earthkeeping, Practical Mysticism , being connected to the Bees and the Trees.. simplifying-being detoxed from electromagnetic frequencies.. making our own foods ,sacred tools, medicines and clothes-completley off grid-chemical and plastic free..living life in a state of present mindfullness ,consciously slowing down to the natural ryhthms and aligning to them..

The prices we will charge willl NEVER make me a metaphysical millionaire.. and I could care less about that...We are charging $500.00 per quarter per student- for 3,6 or 9 month stay... with a,limit of 12 students. To keep costs very low ones will need to provide their own tent- and everything they need in it- firewood, food, bedding.  We will work the homestead together- and build -and share the foods and the herbs...conduct ceremony for the public- make items to sell...

We will have a little homestead store-giving the school members 70% of the proceeds of items they make- sort of an arts and crafts  co-op ... because we will take turns minding the shoppe as it were..(proceeds left will go the running of the homestead project) ....perhaps in time together we will form a small biodynamically grown CSA - make crafts ,herbal healing concoctions,soaps,candles and hand crafted clothing and sell those at our healing gatherings...residents of the school will have afternoons to create.. hopefully making enough to more than cover their tuition and having money to live on and SAVE for the future!!  .. that is part of my goal- to provide not  only an education-but economic means for folks ... in a New Earth paradigm of unselfish service!

I have to move forward in my day now - more infomation upcoming...
