Maildrop Project

My HeartSinging Journey has begun!

I’ve set up my email service to send you my blogposts every few days. Enjoy! Be sure to reply to your email with questions, comments, or requests for what you want to read about.  I’ll do my best to respond.

We’re sending five maildrops containing foods that I like and can’t buy. Some, like our homemade  hummus, sweet potatoes, and pineapple that really are not available in stores.

This food is not meant to be our total resupply. We will supplement this with other food from stores and restaurants. John picked places at 70-mile intervals, which is 4-5 days apart. read more

Steps

I am grateful to John for his consistent support for my endeavor. “You’re trying to live your expression and that’s a challenge sometimes. You want to be close to people.”

It’s always weird to sign “in joy” when I’m feeling tense and frustrated. Is this part of joy? Perhaps.

In joy,
Regina

New Way

Today, I’m testing out a new way to send updates from the trail. I’m experimenting with integrating my blog with my MailChimp service.

There’s a lot to talk about,  especially in the realm of energy shifting! When I get scared, like I am now trying out something new, I feel bad! My head hurts, I want to sleep, and feel nauseous too!

“Run away! Stop! Take a break!” says my fear.

“Keep taking steps! You’ll be ok!” says my courage. read more

Today, I visited a favorite spot on the Appalachian Trail -Spy Rock, Virginia. It sports a 360 degree view atop a 40′ boulder scramble. I’ve had many a visit here in the past six summers when I worked in this section as a ridgerunner. This time I came as a day-hiker with no mission to educate anyone.

I couldn’t pass up the chance to remove a few firerings to preserve the untrammeled appearance of the place, but that was it.

Beauty, space, and freedom to move – that’s what the place evokes! Let the colors flow the same! All is well! read more

The green here in Montebello, Virginia, is vast and encompassing! Nonsenses immersion feels truly immersed, if that’s even a word.
Forest life is so incredibly lush and vibrant, water enabling uncountable broad leaves, ferns, mushrooms, and flowers to fill the landscape with a dense curtain of green. 

Vibrance abounds!

In joy,
Regina

Moving On

I guess “S” for “Sebastian” is what the feeling of movement made! John and I left the baby grandson in Charleston, SC late this morning – after just one more hour of babysitting so my son could mow the lawn. Mom was at “an appointment” that was revealed on FB as a hair salon visit. I love how they are being generous to themselves!!

As usual, my three-day visit gave me daily opportunities to have feelings and judgements bubble up, more chances to notice those beliefs and Old Stories that let me me separate from others. read more

I’m driving through Atlanta, Georgia, thinking, “Wow! This feels so familiar, yet has just a tiny twinge of longing to be home here. I HAVE  a home, and it’s now in the California desert, not here in Dekalb County as it was for twelve years. That was my past!”

Nonsenory Immersion feels grounding, expanding, acceptable, yes, and even essential as a part of my consistent message. Today, there’s no question of whether I would do this exercise. It is a welcome moment in my day! read more

This Nonsenses Immersion emerged over the miles between Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and beyond New Orleans.

Another city goes by without stopping to visit a friend. This time its Carla, an Appalachian Trail friend and coaching colleague. A hello text message suffices for this time. My life certainly has provided me with lots of friends! 

Color flows onto the paper between looks at the luminous NOLA. I reflect on Hurricane Katrina, the fury here 10+ years ago. I think about Maria Maria and her Katrina story that she shifted during a Forgiveness Walk in Atlanta in 2011. My work is valuable! It even touches this place with healing and forgiveness.
