The Quest – Off to “find myself” in the Alaskan Wilderness –a dream 30 years in the making
Alaska-The Last Frontier
The Last Frontier, The Land of the Midnight Sun – Alaska. As you are reading this (as a scheduled publishing) I will be on my way to my dream quest and most likely deep in the Pacific Northwest and heading toward Alaska. This trip which I booked six months ago and while I was fully employed comes at a time when I truly need it the most.
I have always craved a trip to Alaska ever since the ‘80’s and my boss took his wife on a cruise there for their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Before that I never even heard of or contemplated going to Alaska. The ways that my boss described his planned adventure sounded dreamy and his depiction of the trip upon his return sparked the desire within me to go to this Last Frontier some day for a special occasion.
It is funny how we forget about the little things we set in motion moments, days, years, decades before, but I sent out a rocket of desire to venture to the Land of the Midnight sun without even knowing anything about the Laws of the Universe or the Law of Attraction. Yet I did. My current dream over the last decade was to travel to the Orient for my half-century celebration, not Alaska. Not long ago I became aware of “Abraham” and Esther Hicks. I was fully cognizant of the Law of Attraction and the Laws of the Universe and I wanted to know more and I liked the messages that Abraham was delivering through the vehicle of Esther. Once I discovered that there was going to be a full week’s workshop on an Alaskan cruise I jumped in with both feet and booked the trip completely devoid of any thought (part of that rocket of desire that I shot out 30 years prior).
The plan was to travel unaccompanied so that I could find myself and have my daughter care for our plethora of animal companions that would be staying home. As perfectly as events work themselves out, she will be able to travel with me and another family member will stay and care for my beloveds. Another rocket of desire that was only recently sent out (subconsciously) as I love to travel with my soul mate, my daughter. I already paid for double occupancy and I have always wanted to share the Pacific Northwest with her (another rocket of desire sent out back in 2011 while traveling on business).
I really need to lose myself in this wildness out West as I feel as though I am lost. Ironic how when we feel lost we have the need to lose ourselves at the same time as a means of finding our way back or finding a new path. Piles of loss have been superimposing on my life and I feel as though I am suffocating. Asphyxiated by life; smothered by dealing with personal losses and trying to be a support to anyone experiencing the very same exact feelings. I need an escape, yet I am afraid to leave my beloveds behind. I am alone here yet I feel overwhelmed by social media and real people. How can I be of service to my readers, my friends, my family and my beloveds if I am losing my shit? I am hoping my cure lies in the lands of the Gold Rushed Alaska.
Everyone needs nature to center themselves, some may beg to differ, but it is a known fact that when we seek nature and get away from the cities and the suburbs for even short periods of time, our vibration increases. The higher our vibration is the better we feel, the better we give back to those we care about; the more goodness comes back into our lives. It becomes a perpetual merry-go-round of goodness. I need to get on that merry-go-round and ride it for all that it is worth.
I am taking this opportunity to disconnect from devices and social media; disconnect from my friends and put the focus back on my well-being in hopes of bringing back some really great information from the wild. Alaska may be the Last (physical) Frontier, I am expecting to connect to the larger, vaster, ethereal frontier; yearning to return completely refreshed and changed forever.
