Santa Rosa

I took a trip up to Santa Rosa to see Dr. Incredible before he left. It was a fantastic drive and a fantastic session, and he had a lot of invaluable advice. (Being there at the fasting center made me want to go back and do another round of fasting! *sigh*) I felt so good after my time with him, and felt like that was exactly what I needed. Now I have this 'antsy' feeling....like there's something I need to do now, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. When I got home, I immediately wanted to clean my room and get rid of a bunch of stuff and organize. I haven't finished that task yet, but it's definitely clean at least!
Taking that initial step out the door was hard, but I think it got the ball rolling. I'm always SAYING how I want to do this, or do that, but never DO. Just say. So this was the first time in quite I while that I DID. :) It took me forever to write that first email to him, and at first, he wasn't sure if he would have time and suggested a phone consult. But we worked it out for me to come, in the end (obviously). When I went to bed the night before I left, I couldn't believe I was actually going! And even in the morning I couldn't believe it..... and there was this small part of me that was saying, "WHOA! Wait! What's going on here?!" cause I had gotten SOOOO used to being at home. Anyway, the point to all that was the 'taking the first step.' It was the right one.


After our session, I told him I wanted to go on an adventure/hike somewhere, but wasn't sure where. He suggested this lake near by... and so I went and walked around for about 2 hours. Beau-ti-full! and relaxing. :) It felt great to finally get out and go on a little adventure. Here's some shots:

There was a trash can in this shot.... Oh yes.. I totally photoshoped it out. Bam.

 Silly Face Down Tuesday shot. I was SO out of breath..  the timer on the camera was not very long, and I had to climb those rocks FAST! -->

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Conquering the rocks!
 I found this little patch way off trail... at first I wasn't going to go, but then thought, 
"Well what kind of adventure is that if you just stay on the beaten path...."
