Yes, it has been quite some time since i have written again, years to say. I forgot about my blog i started when I was living in the Twin Cities and working for Whole Foods Market. 3 years have gone by and here is an update of where the Spirit and I have journeyed together......
1. Lived in the Twin Cities and worked for Whole Foods Market in the Health and Body department for 1 year. Paid off my 1 year of student loans from BLC in Mankato. From there on I saved money and together with my sister Marcie(what a gem) :D we explored detoxification and holistic health and were fruitarians. Yes, even during the winter months we enjoyed sitting in front of the plug in heater eating frozen bananas and watching Tarzan.
Tarzan was one of our favorites and Phocahontas as we were preparing our hearts to leave the MN winters to the Big Island of HI. 1 suitcase and a one way ticket and we were off to Kona HI September 2014. Bye Bye MN winters and hello coconut and mangos for dinner!!!
2. As I began my new season in HI, I lived for 6 months on a beautiful farm in the mountains called Magic Mountain Farm. There I picked coffee and learned about sustainable living and worked for my room and board. I was so excited to try new foods the first week I ate all the fresh pink guava in my back yard breakfast lunch and let me not forget my thimbleberries. Ah! picking fruit and laying in the grass and the white little butterfly friends of mine made me feel like a princess walking around in Gods Garden of Eden.
After 6 months had gone by, I had the priveldge to be a house cleaner and helper for a lovely Pastor named Ruth Carter. I joined Shekinah Loa Ministries which was a small home church but we were close like a family and went snorkeling, night time manta ray diving, movie nights with popcorn, chicken feeding, feeding the homeless, ministering to those in need, a 2 week vacation to Jerusalem, and shepherding 8 beautiful sheep(Holly was my favorite yue that I miss and first animal I cried for when I left back to the mainland....will get to that part later).
After 1.5 years had gone by, I became a dietary aid for the elderly at an assistant living and my heart became very tender being around my new friends/and adopted grandparents. I was blessed to get hugs and very much appreciated friendships there. Was hard to say goodbye but around October 2016 was time to journey back to MN with my brand new car I had shipped to my parents doorstep.
3. October of 2016, I was helping out on the family farm back in MN, visited FL twice in December and March, and now caretaking my Grandpa and Grandma Flygares old farm home. Working full time at Daves Place of Lafayette as a bartender and cook, I enjoy every kind of person who comes in. Time flys by quickely when I am working because there are alot of interesting people I enjoy listening and visiting with. I have heard alot about dandelion wine I would like to try locally people talk about around here.
Cleaning, mowing lawn, very much excited to pay off my car next year, enjoying warm coffee and tea, still in love with frozen bananas, but I enjoy eating a well balanced diet of eggs, fresh garden produce, and experimenting in the kitchen with zucchini crisp.
One day I would like to buy a honey bee box and have fresh raw honey on tap, make my homemade soap and lotion bars again and sell them with my honey and fresh wildflower bouquets. I enjoy learning very much and exploring. My dream house would be a little cottage in the forest and pick fresh berries, produce from the garden, apple and pear trees, and have my own free ranged chickens for eggs for breakfast.
Thank you for reading my journal update. Next post is on....
My world inside my soul and spirit.
Facing my worst enemy...Fear itself
Exploring this "Whole New World" with the Spirit of God within me
Enjoying beauty, love, and heaven on earth. :)
