Pure love ~

Yesterday morning I was standing outside of my apt. waiting for someone and this little girl and her mother where crossing the cross street by me. As they walked down the street going the other way the little girl turned around and looked at me. I waved at her and she looked at up her mom and said something to her. Before I knew it they both turned to wave back at me. As they disappeared around the corner, I smiled to myself and it just reminded me of how much I love this country and her people.

I looked over and they were coming back and the little girl was smiling this big smile, my smile got even bigger and waited for them to cross the street all the while waving at them. I pulled out my "free hugs" sign as they were crossing the street and her mother told her what it said and she came up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I lifted her off the ground and hugged her.

As they left we were all smiling and waving..... that is pure love here in Ecuador May you experience some pure love today EJ

Organos, Peru Morning Trip By Motto

I went to Organos, Peru this morning to check in with the school and as we were coming into town the motto passed this same older man that I have seen before walking down the road. He was once again pulling his little cart like thing with empty water bottles. He was heading to Organos to get water, which he would then take back home walking down the road.

Then when we were leaving the school we passed by an even older man pushing a wheel barrel. He had been at the dump across from the school when we got there and he had picked up a plastic crate and some old wood stakes. His feet shuffled as he walked pushing this wheel barrrel with the items he was taking home.

My motto driver then took me to the bank to exchange some money and as I stood in line waiting for my turn I was thinking about these two men. I got embarrassed to walk in there and pull out US dollors to exchange. I left and had the motto driver take into Mancora to do it. There are so many in need and I have to figure out how to raise money to help...... EJ

Letter To Self ~

Do you ever reflect on your life and wonder who you are?  I have been doing this today, I think you have been living in South America now for 2 years. I came down in August 2012 first to Cuenca, Ecuador.  I volunteered at a school assisting with English.  I love my children and I do not think they learned much about English but the thing they did take away was learning to take care of others.  Really what more could have wanted to leave behind than the gift of caring.

You can have a conversation in Spanish and it seems very natural.  You are so comfortable and happy here in South America.  What will you do when you go back to that other life?  How will you function there?  The money is running out so if the textile business does not work out you will have to go back.  You do not even have a resume anymore.  You have cut ties to family which that is not a bad thing but you are alone.   So you wonder what you are doing and who have you become on this journey.

Yes there is the work for the children and I trust the universe to guide my way as always.  But sometimes you do think about things like this, how can you not.  I walk through Mancora, Peru and people smile and wave and say hola.  I have been here for 3 weeks now with one week left and then it is on to Trujillo, Peru.  I wonder who I am and where did this life and this person come from........ sometimes I wonder if I am really alive or if this is another time and place all together.   EJ

Bumps in the road ~

Life is full of bumps in the road... literally. I went into town in Mancora, Peru this morning and got out of the motto taxi, walked about a minute and my shoe discovered a space between the tiles and down I went. I fell on the same arm I always do, my left. I went down to a bodega where I had bought my bag and bought some flips straight away. The other shoes will never be worn again. I went ahead to go get something to eat anyway, I mean what are you going to do at that point. I had already been introduced to the sidewalk. 
 

When I finished eating I felt like crying because my arm was hurting very bad. So I went to the motto stand and got a taxi to go to the clinica and I saw the first doctor I have seen in South America. The visit was less than $20 US, I got the first shot that I have had in many many years, but how to argue in spanish when your spanish is only passable.... The taxi driver waited for me and took me after to the farmacia to get the antiinflamatorio creama and pills. He also took me to the store to get some rum... I figured that would be needed later. He brought me back to where I am staying and was very gentle on the road bringing me back.

I paid him very well... his face when I handed him the money was one of confusion, he asked if it was for him and I said yes. He gave me some more advise on how to take care of my arm and it was said with love. We hugged and kissed on the cheek and I am sure I will see him in town. He was worried that I had been robbed but I told him no I was alone and fell.  Another loving amazing experience with a total stranger in South America.

So I am back and drinking a cerveza, my arm is already feeling better from the shot and I am supposed to go back and get another tomorrow. We will see.... EJ

 

Dear Mom, (email)

"Mom, you have no idea what I am doing down here and you do not care. I have been in South America almost 2 years now. Everytime you write there is one or two sentences that has to do with me, example " Good Morning, what is your locale? Hope your trip to Peru will closely imitate your visit in Ecuador" I am not on a visit I am doing things here. Please send no more emails to me, thank you......."

I am her only daughter and she has no idea what I am doing or even where I am at in South America.  She makes it sound like I am on some expensive holiday.  Mean while my heart is breaking for those struggling here in South America and all I can do is share my heart with them and try to help.  This is the daughter my mother does not know at all and does not care to.  On facebook I am Ecuador Journey and my page for the children is https://www.facebook.com/#!/EcuadorJourneyChildren

My Kundalini Awakening

My Kundalini Awakening ~

April 17, 2014 at 9:12am

 

I suppose it is very possible that mine started even before I came to South America. As it happened I arrived in SA as the kundalini moved from Tibet and back to SA.

I arrived here in August 2012 and took my first trip to Vilcabamba in Sept. 2012. While there I met a friend of mine his name is Justin. We were sitting on a bench talking to each other about things, I told him I was an intuitive empath and did energy work. We talked more about energy and he tapped me on the leg, when he did I gasped and looked down at my heart chakra. Not only did I feel the intense energy running from my soul to his I could see it. A bright white thread of moving light, I could not believe what I was experiencing. I had no words for what had just happened...

I came back to Cuenca and the energy started coming to me in the early morning around 4am every morning. I would wake up and my whole body would be buzzing with intense energy. I would just grab my crystal and say ok I have no idea what is going on but go ahead. Then the shift of 2013 came along and that is when I thought what the heck. I started smelling food from pictures.. yes I said pictures. Then came the tasting food that I was not eating or around. Then the energy started working up through my chakras. As my chakras opened when I would breathe in I would pull in energy through them and I will be honest it was pretty strange in the begining.

In Oct. 2013 I received a new "thing" "gift" "ability", spirits started coming to me when they needed me to pass along a message for them to loved ones. Most recent is my senses are growing even stronger than the level they had become in the begining. I have a really hard time with smells and food to be sure, everything is very intense including emotions.

So this is where I am at now and I will update this note and things go along and below is a file of links ~

The Hardest Email I Have Ever Sent ~

March 24, 2014
Email to my mom ~

Mom,

There is something that I want to thank you for, you did not realize it at the time but omg I did. I had been waiting for six years for a sign or the answer however you want to look at it. For six years in FL my message from the universe was crystal clear. It was that I would leave FL and when I did, I did not have to go back and that I was going back to TX but not to Dallas. So I waited..... when Marlowe had his accident and I came up there I did not know that would kick start my life. When Marlin attacked me and the next day you told me I had to leave, I still did not know. When you called me 2 weeks later and told me on the phone that you all did not want me or need me, in that moment I knew what it meant to me. You set me free that day and I can never thank you enough <3 Other than giving birth to me that is the most wonderful thing you could have done for me.

 

My life is now so beautiful and full of love and light <3 My friends say they have never seen anyone glow and be as happy as I am. I never even knew that anyone could be this happy <3 My gifts keep getting stronger and more keep coming to me, I am still an intuitive empath, I still do my energy healing and now also when spirits need a message passed on they let me know. I know you will not understand this but I have also had the kundalini energy awaking. My life is just magic every single day and I thank you for everything. Mom, I do not know when I will see you all again but know that I do not have any bad feelings towards anyone. My life is about love and light and everything in the past has brought me to this time in my life right now. Much love to you all, She

My journey continues ~

This was written last night and posted to facebook and I thought I should add it here ~

I am up late tonight and there is something on my mind.... I really do not know how to start this. From the beginning of this journey my spiritual life hit the fast track and I am having the most beautiful experiences and meeting the most incredible souls. Many things have been said to me in the most amazing ways that have touched and moved me. I love you all for them The biggest shocker was last week in Vilcabamba I was walking across the street and this lady was sitting on a bench with her husband and she said who are you? I walked over and we started talking and trust me I understand that I meet everyone for a reason. 

As we were talking I found out her husband is Jewish and now a christian and she is a christian. So when she asked me what brought me here I sighed and looked at them. I thought well she asked so go ahead, I told them my story of how I came to Ecuador. She shocked me and said there is a prophecy about a new generation of people that will be teachers and healers. She pointed at me and said your one of those people, I started crying and said I don't feel like I that. I am no one I said, she said no you are one of them. More tears...... I want you to know that I have been struggling with things people say to me and about me.

Yes I am growing in my journey and all the changes that are going on.... I am no different from others. We are all on our own journey and always will be... I am still uncomfortable with things. I AM THE SAME AS YOU ALL AND WE ARE ALL ONE This journey continues and I am who I am..... My life is always a surprise and full of magic daily. My only hope is that I can help one person in life and if I can do that I am happy. She said great teachers remain humble and that I was, know we are all the same and I love you all and everyone is special and I am again just a human being on a journey EJ
