Shannon came down to LA for a long weekend in the desert. We always have fun adventures and this weekend was no different. I was feeling super foggy and unconnected. I feel so stuck in this world and not connected to the "out there". I suppose that's good, but at the same time I miss the clarity. Shannon in the opposite place and it took us a few days to equalize.
We drove all over Wonder Valley, 29 Palms and Joshua Tree looking at land and old homesteading cabins. We both decided to go in and get one together. I had brief fear of another Gloria situation - and since Shannon was there through all that we had a very frank discussion. It's a partnership of enabling, no burdens. We found some promising places and we have more research to do, but I'm excited to start actively working towards my dream of a desert ranch. We tentivaly named the ranch - The Wonder Valley School for Hyperactive Girls. And yes, it is going to be a cult and we will be the cult leaders. ;) I've always wanted to start a cult.
Then we went through Joshua Tree on the way to Palm Springs. There were purple flowers in bloom almost the whole way. See pictures. Later, after we showered we found ourselves at a swanky restaurant with pink Neon. We were easily 20 years younger than anyone in the place (except for some of the employees). We had champagne and steak and gave our waiter (who carded me) a good hard time.
After our Palm Spring interlude we headed to Salvation Mountain - which was truly inspiring! It was there we experienced our <3s Desire and lived out the dream. There is more to the weekend, but I'll have to tell it in my own way in another post, at another time.
