I think it's fascinating to read about your efforts. :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-9015291085817183412008-08-16T19:05:00.000-04:002008-08-16T19:05:00.000-04:00i think... there may be more like minded folks...t...i think... there may be more like minded folks...than we think sometimes... they just dont speak up that often...<BR/>and sugar...dont you fret..anybody who "fits in" ..in this town..probably not worth knowing!<BR/>xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-88963954411245192192008-08-16T15:09:00.000-04:002008-08-16T15:09:00.000-04:00Interesting.

Here we were two months later.<BR/><BR/> Same with going to a part of Europe for a month. No apparent reason, but I was so drawn to go there it was as if someone had been physically pulling me.tut-tuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713003038275525797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-73529503331584372552008-08-16T13:32:00.000-04:002008-08-16T13:32:00.000-04:00THanks for the insights, Rebecca.

The sunshine, fluffy clouds (and fluffy cloud people), sweet breezes and all the lush greenness (after a summer with lots of rain) made it impossible to sulk.<BR/><BR/>Onwards & upwards with gratitude for the gift of intuition, for strong and loving guides and wonderful like-minded people who maybe don't live next door but are there for me anyway.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-26939251872473454172008-08-16T11:30:00.000-04:002008-08-16T11:30:00.000-04:00I think reality checks are over-rated.

Turns out it was noisy, confusing, distracting--not helpful at all.<BR/><BR/>Turns out, my mind needs its "elbow room." Maybe that's what DC gives you. (It was way to full of like-minded people for me!)<BR/><BR/>Whatever the case, I'm fascinated and grateful for the journey you're showing us!Rebecca Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494730619850791609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-22119770026720889142008-08-16T10:34:00.000-04:002008-08-16T10:34:00.000-04:00Thanks, Barbara.

It would be a reality check - as it were. <BR/><BR/>But thanks, and to you, too, Ched.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-37523940248415285192008-08-16T09:31:00.000-04:002008-08-16T09:31:00.000-04:00By staying in DC, you won't have to compete with a...By staying in DC, you won't have to compete with all those other shamans doing the same thing!

And that's a shame. I pretty much shop when the grocery store is empty (I like taking photos and it's easier early in the morning or in the wee hours) and I like to visit a lot of different stores, especially old ones. (I think you're right about the dance of the customers though.)Bobby D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02205693811392933385noreply@blogger.com
