It’s Time.

My heart is telling me it’s time to sit down and write. It’s very interesting when the mood suddenly strikes me. This time, it was loud and clear.

I met a lovely new friend through my wine business who invited me over for a dinner party last night. She was making bolognese with zucchini noodles! I brought one of my delicious bottles of Pinot Noir from Bordeaux, which would be the perfect pairing. I drove upcountry to the beautiful rugged cowboy town Makawao. The light drizzle was refreshing coming from the desert south side of Maui. As I stepped out of the car, the fresh rain smell enveloped me. Li greeted me at her front door, and said you are the first one here! The dramatic storm had just slightly turned opposite of Maui, and somber clouds were left instead of a full on hurricane. The sunset was trying to peacock through the clouds, but only the slightest dull pink was left in the sky. I imagined how lovely the sunset would have been on a clear day from her large bay windows. What a special place to live.

I was the youngest among the three other women, and oh how they were inspiring! All of them have their own businesses, worked on unique projects, traveled the world… and yet somehow here we all were sitting around the table looking for something more. It seemed we all were hoping to find a real true peace in our hearts. The question was how, and what do we do to find it?

Two of the other women had grown up in Maui, and myself and Li have been living in Maui for around a year. It just reminded me of how special Maui is, and the female goddess energy that surrounds us. It is very healing, and provides when you ask, listen and do the work. Somehow Maui had called us all here. It was time to listen and figure out why.

That continues to be the question burning in my heart, but last night showed great potential on creating a new community, connection and direction towards that answer. My ascendant horoscope in Scorpio said that I have come to my “Eat, Pray, Love Cycle” and that if I’ve been questioning wat I am supposed to be doing, or be with then I should be ready to embark on a deep journey externally and internally. Now, I have read and watched the movie Eat, Pray, Love and always thought one day I would experience my own moments as Elizabeth Gilbert did. When I hared this at the dinner party, Li proclaimed let this be your journey to Italy!

“I’ve come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call “The Physics of The Quest” — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: “If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself… then truth will not be withheld from you.” Or so I’ve come to believe.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
