The road just keeps getting better and better~!

Ah, summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the streets! whooo hooo!

So, most of you know that the universe has given my soul family a wonderful opportunity, by supporting us financially for over a year while my popi takes an extended rest from conventional employment. We have been living the dream folks, traveling all over the place--mexico, puerto rico, boston, utah, idaho, virginia, maryland oh goodness me, i cant even remember all of the places its been so many and we have had such fun!

So, the summer months are here and the time to continue traveling with the kids is finite--but thats cool cause there are always weekend trips and adventures in the fall--but we had a ton of ideas of what we wanted to do, a few of which are visit my brother and his wife, visit popi's mom, visit a few old friends up in new england and a friend who has some dis-ease in NH...go see a red sox game with my nephew--go see more redsox games with the family, go see a pawsox game, get a week at a timeshare booked (RCI)...and me go to california to see my favorite band and my dear soulmate sister...

so, at first, these things were just kind of floating around in a bowl of soup so to speak, and then, i got this bright idea after going to the workshop to put everything down on paper as a master plan--on one side of the paper were things we wanted to do--on another were things that were already SET and then other possible things that could fit in...

And we had such fun, looking at the list and moving things from one side to another--kind of like the placemat process...and things JUST kept falling into place...

its not all done--but so far, this weekend we have a rock show by the great south bay, then tuesday--we get to watch the all-star game up at popi's mom's house where we will stay for a few days--visiting our friend who needs a VERY good laugh to refocus where he is--then on to rhode island to see my brother at his new apartment and see a pawsox game on JERSEY DAY! ya, we get a free jersey--and popi found a great hotel deal in beautifully redone downtown providence which i had always wanted to see...come home, pack my bags and head out to california on a flight that will eventually give me a free flight..driving a convertible all over northern california and will possibly get to have a drink with an Abraham friend! And it just so happens on one of the days one of my friends who plays in another band will be playing in the area and we might finally get to see her play! Come home--unpack, rest up--grab my nephew-(my neighbor graciously offered to watch our doggie!)-ship off to boston for a red sox game, come home...get ready to go up to Stowe Vermont to stay in a luxurious 3 bedroom mountainside condo with RCI that is basically FREE because we paid our maintenance on a one bedroom in mexico, but traded for this--its at a 4-1/2 star resort! And it allows us to see friends that live up there and we have plenty of room to invite friends who used to live up there so we can all get together and visit!

When we get back, we still wanna go up to boston for a few red sox games, and since popi is home--we can do that midweek...whooo hooo--so much fun stuff--all falling into place--all completely supported by the universe--MORE PLEASE! the more you ask for=the more you EXPECT...the more it comes--and the more it comes--the more abundance FLOWS to support it...

have fun this summer guys! just livin the dream and roadtrippin through life with the law of attraction!

creating magnificently with the red sox and my daughter...

Manny being Manny!

Oh, this one is sooo good, its delicious--Just thought i would share it with all of you, and show you how making a few wishes, from the position of gratitude and joy--with the anticipation of magic and miracles can make amazing things happen!

So, many of you know my magnificent creator husband has taken a rest from customary employment to have a wicked ROCKIN break...and during this wonderful time where we have been continually focusing on adventure and joy and knowing we are fully supported by the universe...our stream has been moving EXTREMELY fast--which causes a few bumps along the way, shooting off huge rockets of desire which are then completely realized and more...

background...every year poppi goes away to see the red sox with a dear friend for a boys weekend--usually he travels to seattle and sees them play the mariners--which wasnt going to work out this year because we were visiting my childhood FAVORITE place, block island--when that series was on--so, he shot off a rocket of desire to see the sox in boston with his friend who had been wanting to go, but couldnt ever get off the time--well, bam...first thing--he got the time...and so, poppi enjoyed scheduling his trip for this coming week...and boy did he take his time enjoying that--and it kind of irked me--and i thought well heck--i want to go see the red sox play!

bam...that next weekend, we happened to be going to his mothers 80th birthday up in new england and poppi, as a surprise, scheduled a sox game that evening instead of driving home--and we had a marvelous time suprising our girls with that--we LOVE to plan surprises...and it was so much fun--and while we were at the game--we focused on the fact that manny ramirez--the sox slugger was close to hitting 500 home runs--and all of us to a person said--wow--wouldnt it be wonderful if WE got to see manny hit his 500th home run--well, he was at 496 on that date, and while hitting 4 home runs in one game is possible, he probably wasnt going to get enough at bats for that to occur...this was in the beginnning of may...

So, we enjoyed that game, and got even more excited to see more sox games and be among boston fans who are marvelous people, tons of fun and very down to earth...home we went that night and on to other advenutures in mexico and block island and really enjoying life full of JOY and gratitude...

When poppi finally figured out his trip, the girls mentioned that they would love to go to more games...and though poppi has always hesitated to take the girls to games in opposing stadiums, he decided to look into going to a few games in baltimore at camden yards, cause we had never been to this lovely ball park--and he had heard that many sox fans do games there...The girls got very excited about the trip, especially my eldest daughter who has a starcrush on their rookie center fielder jacoby ellesbury--poppi had gotten us tickets near the red sox dugout, and she was hoping to be able to catch a glimpse of him upclose--i am sure the creative visualizations she had went beyond that as well!

So....we had a terrific trip down--all decked out in our sox gear--and we get to inner harbor, and it is a SEA of red and blue--there were literally thousands of sox fans there--very surreal--felt like being in boston...like fenway had been transported to baltimore, only newer and bigger! so...we were on cloud nine--by the amazing vibe--and everyone was smiling and saying HI and where are you from etc. on the way to the game--

we get to our seats to realize we are only 9 rows from the field--we walk down to the dugout and the sox come out to warm up--and there--RIGHT in front of my daughter is jacoby ellsebury--so, i tap her and say--there he is!--i click a few pictures--and she stammers out--jacoby! i love you!

He turns, smiles big, blushes and waves at her and says hi! I wanted to scream the energy coming off her was so high--like a huge rocket of joy shooting out of her! He let us take his picture and then went out to warm up--but she was so elated--it was her one dream come true (remember who you had a crush on at 14? imagine meeting them?)...

So, we went to our seats and in passing she said--now, wouldnt it be greeat if we DID see manny hit his 500th? it would make it the best night of my life...(realize it had taken manny over a month to hit 3 more homeruns, and it could take him another few weeks to hit 500)

BAM...a few innings in--he did it! the place went insane, and my daughter got her wish--we were also on espn in one of the shots--which was pretty cool!

They won the game--they also won the game the next day, and manny, who picked up the secret at spring training, hit 501 in that game--and as we drove home--we were in such a buzz of JOY, we didnt even notice the traffic--so all went well and we tucked into bed...

Follow your joy--allow yourself to DREAM big, and know that THROUGH your giddy, overwhelming enjoyment of silly fun things...all your dreams will come true!

Oh, the JOY of surprises!!!

Surprises make ya jump for joy!!!

Hello fellow roadtrippers...just got back from boston and i wanted to share with you the deliciousness of something my poppi and i love to do--that is surprise our children...it is one of the most delicious things to do--because you have all that fun planning the surprise, you have all that lovely anticipation of the surprise going off as expected-and then you have this HUGE wellspring of happy energy to bask in when the surprise comes off--and then finally the love and gratitude of the person(s) you are surprising...

So...We went to a lovely birthday luncheon for my mother in law--who absolutely LOVED that surprise--(as you can see, the children were focused on surprises already--as they were excited to be a part of their granny's surprise...) but they thought we were driving home that same night--

my poppi and i had other plans--we secured a hotel room in boston and tickets to a red sox game--something the kids love--we have surprised them twice before with tickets, one time being a double surprise where they THOUGHT they were surprising their dad with something, only to find out he was IN on the trick and surprised them with something totally different...but as i said, we had surprised them twice before along the same lines and you would think they would get smart to it and call us on it...

but they dont--and i think thats because they are in alignment with and LOVE and attract these surprises and they want to be AS surprised as we want them to be...

so, it was funny because we DONT go through boston to get home from this trip--but this time we obviously had to, and they didnt notice the situation until we were almost to the exit for fenway park...they had been watching a movie--they questioned the situation then, and poppi said he had taken a wrong turn and could get on the mass pike from local roads--as we passed fenway, with all the crowds of people decked out in red sox garb happily walking to the game, the kids begged, "can we go to the game please!!!" and we said--no, we dont have tickets (you CANT get tickets day of game without knowing the tricks and waiting on line for 4 hours...so, they knew we couldnt go)...they even said--"we are being punished for something!" and literally had tears in their eyes as we passed by the park...

now, with that emotion coming up--we were tempted to tell them then...but decided no--lets play it all the way out--and continued to talk about finding the entrance to the highway--and how we could get tickets another time, but really needed to be HOME tonight...we then turned into the hilton and unwound the window as the bell captain asked us if we were checking in...pete smiled and said yes--and i turned to the girls and said--SURPRISE!!!

they held it in all the way to the room--but as the bellboy closed the door, they let out a huge WHOOOOOOOOOOP and grabbed us both and jumped up and down literally for JOY...and the energy felt so amazing!!!

needless to say, we had a wonderful time--they won the game and everyone was happy as a clam...and so, you see on our life roadtrip we attract adventure, abundance, love, harmony, health and as many surprises as we can get! :)

and it WICKED ROCKS!

hola...playing with the universe in paradise!

One of the lovely sea creatures that i saw snorkeling in mexico that i had never seen before!

Hello fellow roadtrippers! Just got back from an amazing trip to mexico, and i thought i would share with you the wonderful manifestations we had while playing with the universe in mexico...Some times, when you are completely relaxed and at ease, and you know you have no "action journey" in mind, but can just play, things come to you at an amazing rate...

When going down to our place in mexico, I intended for easier internet access, just in case i wanted to check into the "real world"...as the last time i was there, it was spotty at best...this time, we had wi-fi! and it was great to sit by the pool with our lovely laptop and check our mail with ease!

My daughter desired to go parasailing while we were in mexico--and at first i had some resistance to that--but then before we left, i lined up with it--and two folks who i dearly admire told me that they had gone on a tandem parasail and loved it--i then lined up with finding a tandem parasailing outfit that was close to our place in cancun so we wouldnt have to travel to go and do it--upon investigating, we found a lovely outfit just across the strip from us on the beach at a lovely hotel, with a great beach...so, off we went...my younger daughter wasnt sure she would go, but after watching her sister and dad have so much fun, up we went...

before going up, i intended to see some sea creatures from the sky....and the universe didnt disappoint me--we saw two giant manta rays swimming languidly through the clear turquoise water...leaving a trail of sand cloud behind them--we were both filled with such joy--we even let go of the railings and pretended to fly through the sky--it was such an amazing feeling of elation...when we landed, we spent a lovely hour in the beautiful warm water while pelicans weaved and dove for fish around us...

We had great fun attracting and feeding fish and iguanas at our compound...years ago, there were only two iguanas on the property, but this year there were atleast 10...and we were able to feed them this time with hibiscus flowers and bananas...our old fish friends also came to the dock each night to eat bananas and fried potatoes...it was such fun to see them all again...

I had heard that there were crocodiles living in the lagoon by the dock, but in all the years i have been visiting, i had never seen one--my daughters and i set an intention to see one this year...and sure enough, on our last day there, we saw a young female nestled against the seawall, taking the sun...it was amazing to see such a powerful wild creature up close!

I love the earth, I got a huge positive sign this past week in mexico that the earth is indeed flourishing--i have been scuba diving for over 26 years...this time, i only snorkeled, but i saw sea creatures that i havent EVER seen, and others that have been depleted over the years and are now in abundance and bigger than ever...above the ground, there is still evidence of hurricane damage, but the trees and plants are growing again and will cover over any damage left....

when you look for signs that the earth is healthy, you will find them--it is law...just as you attract what you think about....we had fun playing with nature and the universe this past week! Its one of the reasons we love to roadtrip through this lovely plane....its just so much fun!!! :)
