My Trip ….

I had the best trip to Dublin, Ohio! It was a two-fold trip, the first part was to see Connie Dohan and take her metaphysical business mentoring workshop and the second was to visit my younger sister and her daughter. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip had I had the opportunity to plan it for myself!

I have met some of the most interesting people on this trip. They are all warm, sincere, lovely people that have nothing more than the giving spirit that seems to surround people in the metaphysical world. Elaine, her friend, and I all went to the Festival of Light on Saturday. It was a really enjoyable time there. I spoke with several different people, the smiles were genuine and the joy was very real.

I think that the most interesting person that I met there was Frank. I don’t know his last name, but he even looks like a “fairy” person in the flesh. Elaine had met him first and he was giving her a treatment when Elaine’s friend and I walked up and watched. I have never seen a person with so much joy surrounding them before. Frank is a very tiny person, Elaine said that he was smaller than she was, but personally I think that they are about the same size. He was wearing purple plaid pajama bottoms, a baggy knit sweater with some design on it, and a denim shirt beneath that. His attire fit him to a tee. His long ponytail and scruffy beard were also fitting for this elfin creature. He had a smile and a simplicity that touched the heart and drew people to him. As Elaine put it, Frank is pure joy and he just makes you feel good being around him.

I don’t have enough room to write all that I did on this trip, but I will hit some of the highlights! Elaine’s friends and I went to Yellow Springs, an energy vortex in Ohio that is somehow stuck back in time. The energy there was wonderful and the little shops were fun to browse through. We did have a purpose for going to Yellow Springs as we were attending a group meditation there. It is held once a month, normally on the first Sunday of the month, but I was lucky as they had changed it to the second Sunday for this month.

Once again I met some people that I won’t forget. Lisbet (and I hope that I got her name correct!) is an amazing woman. She is the one that leads the meditations. She is a writer as well and it made me smile to realize that she belly dances! Her favorite is tribal dancing, which I enjoy as well. Her sweet and sincere spirit made her another person that I feel blessed to have met.

I learned a lot at Connie’s house, both in ways to help my business move along and ways to improve my Reiki treatments. I also received Reiki treatments from Connie and this was such an added bonus for me! I got to play with Connie’s metaphysical toys as well, I felt like a little girl in a toy shop! Of course, one of my favorite ones was the one that she used on my niece. It was a fairy wand that lit up with different lights as she told my niece that she doesn’t get enough recognition for the good works that she does so she touched her with the wand and told her what a good person she is!

It was very sweet of Connie to invite my sister and her daughter over on the last evening for homemade pizza and aura camera time! That is the most amazing metaphysical tool that she has, the aura camera. Someday … well someday I would love to have one as well! I checked the prices out and decided that might be a bit down the road, but it’s on the list!

It was a wonderful, amazing trip. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I came away with so many good ideas and a business plan that will help to grow our Center. I feel more capable of doing the things that I feel called to do, to make it easier to help more people and continue with what I have begun. Life is good!
