Magical Sedona
Beautiful thunderstorms in Sedona during every monsoon season. This year is no exception. Sedona is one of the most unique places on Earth. Stunning red rock formations surround the area. Sedona attracts folks from all aspects of life. Metaphysical, spiritual, wealthy, artists, wanderers and folks looking for a complete change of their life and everything in between. Many people have come here just to visit and quite a few are instantly motivated to move here. There is an energy present created by all the wonderful beings who show up that is contagious for a lot of us. Situated at 4500 feet in the high desert we get four seasons of weather including some hot summers, mostly short winters and gorgeous springs and autumns.
Lou Ann and I moved here in 1988 under guided circumstances. We were living in San Diego at the time and came to Sedona or actually the Village of Oak Creek for a seminar. The Sunday activity of the workshop was for the attendants to go for a walk in silence. As Lou Ann and I strolled up Verde Valley School road we stopped and looked at each other and broke the silence by exclaiming “why aren’t we living here?” Ninety days later we arrived in March. Lou Ann got a job at a pharmacy and I was to search for housing. I looked at dozens of places with no luck. There were only two places left to see and I called Lou Ann to share with her the challenge of finding a place. She suggested since it was March 17th I should ask Saint Patrick for help in finding us a place.
I went to the last home and it was beautiful and vacant and closed up tight. When I went into the kitchen to look at the appliances and such and I saw the Irish blessing that begins with “May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back”. I called Lou Ann and we knew we were guided to have this home. There is another aspect to this story about blue dragon flies that I will share with you tomorrow! From my heart to yours, Thomas
