Here I am. I’m doing it; I’m actually on the journey! No furniture or job or address. I’m shit scared and so excited. It’s been three weeks but it feels like no time an entire lifetime simultaneously. To sum it all up: I left and vacationed in Edisto Beach, SC for a week with the wonderful women that are my family. It was perfect. I had an amazing experience swimming with wild dolphins and witnessed a lightening storm comparable to being directly inside the neural pathway of God’s mind. There was no expense spared in the all-natural special effects department in this episode of The Shellie Show. The beauty was so vivid and alive within me. The tone is set. I’m ready to roll.
I spent some time in Georgia with Mom and Dad. I ended up having life changing conversations with these people who I know now as humans, as well as parents. I let go of a lot of assumptions and false beliefs on who they were. This led me to so much more of myself, and I acknowledge that I have shifted now from being a child into being a woman. I am so grateful that my journey has led me to this beautiful understanding.
Onward, to Carrboro, NC. This lovely little spot is the hoop dance Mecca of the East Coast. The Hoop Path Retreat was the most profound experience I have had on my journey thus far. I am fully aware, after attending this creatively combustive event, that my purpose is to be the dancer. I will always honor this about myself. This is a gift I am so humbled and grateful to receive. Praise to Bax, Ann and the Locals for being the finest examples of goodness and grace that the hoop community knows.
The scene switches now to the majestic mountains and valleys of Lewisburg, WV.
It was wonderful to be able to appreciate this landscape on such a contrasting level. After living in flat Florida I am childlike in my curiosity to explore the trails, caves, rivers, and rocks within these mountains. My soul Sister Serah and her beautiful family have welcomed me with full hearts and open arms. I have had so many memorable experiences in such a short time. Stay tuned for some righteous pictures. I am currently in Sarasota for a few days for a visit. It feels great to be lazy in the balmy heat and to just BE. Noah’s company is also nice ☺ I really missed him for the three weeks I was bouncing around. I’ll be headed back to Lewisburg in a few days. I’ll look for massage clients, future hoopers, and uncharted terrain. I already had a river bend full of kids and adults hooping their hiney’s off up there. I hope Lewisburg is ready for the hoop, because it’s coming their way! So, I’m off into the unknown again. I have so much trust and patience in my heart right now. Thank you for supporting me on this Pilgrimage and all that it means to me. Blessings <3
