Memorial Day

Spending Memorial Day listening to Classic Rock out of NYC and packing.  A little drinking.  For some reason this move is stressing me out.

Micro Living

This move is an experiment in Micro Living.  The Apartment is postage size with a decent kitchen which will mainly be used as a Studio.  And of course, the Cocktail Parties.  There has been an enthusiastic response to the Invitation.  How to squeezes a bunch of people into a phonebooth comfortably?  I'm also claustrophobic so there has been a slight knot in my stomach at the thought of being in such a small space.  One of the videos from the link below is about the psychological coping of micro space.  My Experiment is to interact with this World City and just see what pops up.  When I can't take the small space I'll go sit in the Plaza I guess.  There are always street musicians and interesting Tourists.  And I'm doing this on a modest budget.  The Rules of the Experiment are that what is needed with present it'self with the least amount of effort.  Ill be living in a microspace downtown Santa Fe on Social Security and a part time job.  The practical side of this is that I'm thinking I'd like to get an RV in a year and travel awhile.  I've got kids from one end of the state to the other and it's a juggle to see everyone.  I have Gypsy Blood so the idea of being mobile stirs my DNA.  LOL

Mission Statement

Living Downtown Santa Fe is going to be pretty Trippy.  It's not a place I intend to stay long.  It's like living in the Enchanted Castle at Disney Land.  But what a Cool Place to hang out for awhile and meet people from all over the World on the Plaza.
I came for the Art and now it's going to be in my backyard.  I want to spend some time just fooling around with all this art supply I've gathered. 
We're going to have a lot of Cocktail Parties.  Many of the Ladies that run the shops and galleries are coming along with some interesting people I've met.  I'm thinking about starting a tradition of having Cocktails after work on Fridays then go on to the Gallery Opening that run through the summer on that night.
The place is just incredibly beautiful and because of the Tourist Trade many exotic things are offered.
One of the shops below me sells about 20 different olive oils and flavored Balsamic Vinegar.  Which we'll need for the Cocktail Parties. 
Turn a corner and I get my spices at The Savory where I can get Black Chocolate.  I have a recipe for Coffee Brownies.  Yum.
All winter I've been working on my cookbook "Soul Food".  I'm blown away by the technology of having all that info online, then pulling out a Tablet and access it.  It used to be I'd haul ten cookbooks with me each time I moved. And I am surrounded by high end grocery stores with exotic food.  There is no ingredient for any recipe I can't find.  For me, that's Nirvana.  LOL 
And I need food for the Cocktail Parties.

Coming to the Plaza early morning with your coffee has got to be one of the most Blissful Things to do.  The air at that time in the mountains is sweet and the energy of a spot that holds so much history is worthy of the Beautiful Cathedral down the street.  Now I'll be a block away.  I could sneak down in my pajamas and probably not get caught.  Then as the day turns people from all over the world stroll in and it's easy to start up conversations.  Tourists are always looking for direction or want to tell you about their Vacation.  Many interesting stories.

And I want to share those stories.

Another reason for writing is to document The Altered Reality that is ShapeShifting around here.  More than just me is picking up the Vibe.  I'm having a lot of synchronicity and I try to figure out why and where it's leading.  A lot of good stories .  I just have to decide what I want to share.
I continue reluctantly.  This is "Forever" once I send it "OutThere".  So I want to be "wise". :-)
I swear I was burnt at the Stake in a Past Life for running my mouth off.

But there are some odd and pleasant things happening.  Santa Fe is sort of the Eye of the Storm for that stuff.  You can't throw a stone without hitting a Psychic.  Some people believe that Ancient Technology lies below the Parking Garage and is sending out Cosmic Juice thru the Obelisk in the center of the Plaza.  At this point I would not doubt it.  And the air is thin.
And keeping a Diary will help my kids in case I vanish in thin air.  Snap!  LOL

In an Essay a couple back on "A Year of Living in Santa Fe" are pictures of my future neighborhood. taken over 5 years ago.  The opportunity for the apartment was just by Chance.  I got to be good friends with the manager who I met on the bus.  It is just happenstance  that things are aligning for me to move in.
More and more things are Happenstance.  It's a bit freaky sometimes, but becoming increasingly more fun. :-)

Living in Disneyland

I'm moving Downtown Santa Fe for a year and I thought this would be a good time to start writing again.  There should be some good stories.  :-)

Stay Tuned....

Power and Speed

I found a couple of videos of driving a Jag.  This has been a good symbol to use in meditation.  It brings up the sense of Power, Speed, Elegance and Sleekness.  The last time I used a car for visualization I was driving a red Camero with black glass T-Tops within a month.  Let's see what this brings?

Driving the Jag

I haven't picked up on this Diary because so much was changing and shifting.  On many levels I do feel the "world ended" this past winter and my old self with it. 
This Diary is not so much about my daily life, but how that life is transforming.  One of the visualizations I used was of driving this Jaguar.  It's probably not the car I would buy if money was unlimited but once I brought up the sensation of driving it I experienced a thrill that was new.  On some level it seemed to incorporate my Jaguar Spirit Animal.  I became the Car.  I became the Jaguar and my energy shot through the roof.
