68 Homes! How Many Places Have you Lived?

in #earthnation6 years ago (edited)

Earth is my HOME!

I felt like an alien at a young age. I was fierce and empowered, not much into the "real world" as my mother calls it and was bound to follow my heart completely!

I'm one of those... HOME wherever I roam gypsy types, at least I have been.

Only spirit knows what's in line for the future.

There were many times I called in home, my piece of place on this Earth to settle into, and spirit kept me mooooooving. I learned to surrender, make myself at home, and trust that I would learn, grow, and be shown.

When I got to Kauai in 2015, I knew I landed home...... and I stayed about a year, and then spirit called me HOME again to a new place. I do believe Kauai calls me back to land a magical temple in the future.

When it comes up, I have told people that I lived in about 80 different homes, none of which I was ever asked to leave! That's a great track record. I decided today, to actually count and here weeeeeee go!

I used to be obsessed with snowboarding...

Before reading your biography, I thought that I had a turbulent youth ... Now I understand that I am more likely a homebody)))

O sweet sistar! I think I have moved 87 different homes...12 different schools and changed school 18 times. Not by choice at all as I am Cancerian and I love stability and a home. Yet Spirit told me that my energy helps places to shift so it I will move probably some more times.I have never been in one place longer than 2 years....It makes me sad at times as it was hard to say goodbye to so many loved ones so many times...

@nomvula om goodness! really ? hahah. We are similar in more ways. wow! Nomvula. I love being home too. Yes, I know that saying goodbye. I always felt like part of my mission is to pick and drop off light codes.... and so we must be on the move <3 I love our new home. I'm happy to be settled here for a while.
love you sistar.
