She asked me to attend a Spirit Circle at 1pm today, so I went back to cook myself some food before returning. The Spirit Circle was intimate with 6 people in a tight circle. A very nice retired lady was there. She said she recognized me, but couldn't figure out where. We got along well and I felt she looked familiar, too. Overall it was a nice little gathering, led by a woman who is a medium and received contact from the deceased for a few people in the circle.
After this event, I took Whisper on a nice long walk around a residential area and took some interesting pictures.
Albuquerque is in the desert, so you see lots of cactus varieties, like this one.
Even the trees are unusual
And the "lawns" -- this was an all rock front lawn (like so many are) HOWEVER, this one had a bonus patch of artificial grass in the middle of it!
Throughout the day I realized that there's one major geological landmark here in Albuquerque. On the east side of the town, there's a mountain range. In every other direction, it's flat. That's a handy compass point!
The Sandia Mountains
After this walk, I decided to get at least one small printing done -- an 8.5x11" standee for my table at the psychic and healer fair tomorrow.
I also felt like doing something communal and local to Albuquerque, so I turned to the internet for ideas. I was able to find something called "Friendsgiving" -- a charity dinner at a local restaurant -- not too far from the Fed Ex Store (where I got the printing done)
So I strapped Whisper's Therapy Dog vest on her and proceeded to the dinner. There were a number of people already there when I arrived, so I went from table to table, asking people if I could join them. My second request was granted, so I sat and had a nice time with Scott and Carolyn. Scott had lived in Albuquerque his entire life, but his wife was from Massachusetts. I gave them my story as well, and they were excited for my journey. Like many, they didn't know anything about lightwork, but they had at least HEARD of Reiki.
At one point, a highly tattooed woman, Kali, (pronounced KAY-lee) stopped by to give love to Whisper. We ended up talking for a while and I invited her to the psychic fair tomorrow. She was super interested and plans on attending. We exchanged information, so I have my first official Albuquerque friend! Woo!
The community event became ever more communal as another couple joined us, and we had a grand time. The food was tasty, and it was great to participate in a good cause -- a food drive for the less fortunate. It was a well-attended event, as well.
During my dinner I asked the locals, "If you were me, where would you park your van tonight?" And after some debate and discussion, they suggested I come to White Wash Trailhead. As I write this blog, I'm sitting part of the way up the mountain overlooking the twinkling lights of the city of Albuquerque at the White Wash Trailhead. On one side, a mountain face. On the other, a view of the city from an impressive vantage point. Pictures don't do it justice, but this is what I got:
Another successful day on my journey!
