WOW!  What a wonderful time I had at Yosemite celebrating my sister Dianne's birthday getaway.  I felt expansive, relaxed, and at peace with myself.  We hung out at the spa and Bass Lake, when we were not touring the park.  Found some wonderful restaurants to eat at when we didn't feel like cooking. Visited a quaint little hippie town with beautiful arts and crafts. We ate, bought goodies and soaked up the healing energies of the mountains.  I felt great . . . like I was floating and in harmony with the Universe.  Divine Oneness!

As soon as I got home it all went away . . . I crashed into a downward spiral . . . and began riding out waves of sadness.  Perhaps I need to move away to Clear Lake or somewhere in nature I thought.  Perhaps I need to be doing something else with my life I thought.  Perhaps I should have remarried when I had the chance I thought.  How could I have been feeling so high, at peace, with oneness then feel so isolated, low, and sad.  Oh well . . . I will just ride it out . . . something is happening.

And then I realized I was purging all that no longer served and was now ready to go because it no longer fit.  The same thing would happen when I would go see my Divine Mother Gurus.   Before I left for Yosemite I prayed for a healing blessing from the Soul of Yosemite. . . And Goddess did I get It!

Sadness is not a happiness deficiency. It is how the heart adjusts to loss, and releases imagined patterns of attachment.

Every time sadness arises, the body has an emotional garage sale. It releases what is no longer needed for the journey ahead and clears the space to welcome in what your entire life has prepared you to find -- true happiness!
