What next for the Gypsy...

North Carolina...have never been here but then I had never been to Red Lodge, Montana either. Looking back...Red Lodge fulfilled what I needed to accomplish. Two prose books with my photos. A therapeutic experience to say the least. Now I'm ready to complete the third volume of Intimate Evolution: One Woman's Journey Vol III the Passions of Being. I landed by chance in Hendersonville, North Carolina. A quaint town of 12,000 maybe a bit more. Definitely a lot larger then Red Lodge Montana and even has public transportation Mondays thru Fridays. A bargain at 35 cents for a senior - service every hour up until 6 perhaps and doesn't run on weekends but none the less better then Red Lodge. IF I had not had to "root" my gypsy feet until my children were raised, this is how my life would have been BUT everything happens for a reason and perhaps I wasn't ready for this life at that time. Now I am and I embrace it whole heartedly. Everyone should be able to experience what I am. I now can say I have lived in every time zone of the USA - well ok - not Hawaii. West Coast, Mountain, Midwest and now Eastern. I was born and raised in Iowa and then left there at 18 years old. Sigh...smiles I thought I was ready for the world...but was the world ready for me. Not quite. It did throw me back to Iowa for a few years but that gypsy part of me needed to stretch...and stretch I did. Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Los Angeles, California: Orange County, California; Minneapolis & St Paul, Minnesota; Red Lodge, Montana; Hendersonville, North Carolina. And, still my gypsy spirit wants to expand and stretch even more. Where have I visited? St Thomas, Virgin Islands (oh to go back to that paradise); Montreal, Quebec Canada; Washington, DC; Espanola, New Mexico; Bradenton, Florida; and so many places...I have that wanderlust...therefore I am a gypsy....exploring, expanding and creating wherever my spirit takes me... Let YOUR spirit soar...

A new adventure...

December 31st until March 30th I spent in Minnesota. Reconnecting with my friends, art friends and family. I also firmly believe that before one can start a new adventure/journey that a time of hmmmmm grieving of sorts needs to take place. Have that belief when one relationship ends also. A time to reconnect with the inner me and resolve the present. A period of simple tranquility. The three months went by quickly. Was so good to reconnect. And now the new adventure...

Thank you everyone for following me on my journey...it is, after all, a very intimate evolution and only one woman's journey thru this life.

Here we are April of 2013...the Red Lodge adventure is over and I left there on December 30, 2012...a fitting time since I never do New Year's Resolution but instead change my life.  Sometimes the change is barely noticeable and then again it is life altering....like this move.

Red Lodge taught me alot...about myself....others...and what I need and want.  I need lush green surroundings...sunshine...warmth...a magic place....

Well...time for a new adventure! Yes almost two years in Montana and now I have come down from the mountain to be in Minnesota briefly and then on to Asheville, North Carolina....
