For years I have secretly - and sometimes not so secretly - wanted to move. I saw myself someplace more liberal, more organic, with fresh faced, tree hugging, love-giving people all around me.
I saw Scottsdale as the opposite. It turns out I wasn't seeing at all. In the last few months, most likely resulting from an intention to love the place I live without reservation, a new world has opened up for me.
Yesterday, as I was sitting at the incredibly cute and tasty Dragonfly Cafe eating my butternut squash salad, I reflected on the new dimension to my world right here.
Maybe it has to do with the incredible magazine that I'm now involved with - One Planet - www.oneplanetmagazine.com. Or perhaps my new firefighter/energy healer friend who took me to a small gathering to hear one of my all time favorite authors, Marianne Williamson this weekend. Or maybe the bright eyed woman I met who owns an organic tea room and restaurant right in the heart of downtown Scottsdale, www.mandalatearoom.com.
The most likely reason I've discovered the community I've always longed for is because I opened my eyes and saw what was around me all the time.

That is great. It reminds me of lyrics by the Grateful Dead... "Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around". And, like you said open your eyes to it. What a great reminder.

I can relate to this state of being...lately it seems to me that it is when I let go of the pre conceived ideas that I have and begin to accept things as they are that I start to get the things I truly want out of life. Maybe it is because this brings my thoughts into the present moment where everything I want and need is already provided...
All I needed to do is get out of my own way. :)
It sounds like you have found some very interesting places in your world! Thanks for sharing them...
much love,
