The Spirit that Creates New Beginnings
June 7th, 2023 – TCS # 815
Happy June & Happy Summer, My Readers! Yes, Folks! It is Summer! Time for Summer Vacations! And, Of Course, It is Time for The Heat of Texas to come!
It is only June here in Plano and On Thursday of Next Week, It is going to hit 100 Degrees Fahrenheit (38 Degrees Celsius)!
Usually, It gets that Hot around July or August. But, Not June! It kinda makes you dream of Places that are a Little Cooler. Isn’t that Weird how In The Winter, You dream of Tropical Beaches and In The Summer, You dream of Mountains where The Temperature is MUCH colder than The Valley below?! I find that Very Strange. Then Again, One Time in 2004, My Dad, My Brother, and I went to Palm Springs, California (Palm Desert, CA to be Precise) for Vacation. One Day after Swimming at The Resort Pool, I looked at The Temperature Monitor in The Car and It said It was as Hot as 122 Degrees! And, Then, When We decided to go up the Palm Springs Skyway to Mount San Jacinto, Where There were Redwood Trees, It was like 86 Degrees up there. It felt Very Refreshing compared to The 110 Degrees on the Valley Floor!
So, For This Week’s Newsletter, I am going to help You Dream! Not of a Cooler Place but, More about a Place that You feel that Your Heart Belongs, Your Soul Place! Start Dreaming and Enjoy!
This Newsletter was Originally Written on June 27th of 2018 (Refer to Newsletter 599)
Happy Early National Holidays of Canada Day and USA’s Fourth of July, My Readers! A Longer Greeting This Time. It is funny that Two Neighbour’s National Holidays are within Days of Each Other. Yes, It is seems kind of Early, but This is to cover My Bases because I will be taking off The Week of Fourth of July, I actually would have written on The Fourth of July and being that I am a Newsletter away from My 600th Newsletter, It might be a Good Idea to Take off before The Big 600th Newsletter. So, Just to let you know.
So, 600 Newsletters! Can You Believe It?! It is Milestone that each time I hit The 100 Series Mark, I can not believe that I have made it that Far.
That must take a lot of Writing along with All The Times that I have taken off, Subjects Written about, and Life Events happening.
So, Let’s Celebrate! So, What shall I write about for My Pre-Lead into My 600th Newsletter? hmm...Lots of Choices! I have done some good lead ins. Among them, Here they are, along with References...
+++ Pre-100th Newsletter: “Playlist of Your Life Series” (April 2008)
+++ Pre-200th Newsletter: “All Thanks to You Series”:
PTLS Families (May 2010)
+++ Pre-300th Newsletter: “About The Girl of My Dreams” (May 2012)
+++ Pre-400th Newsletter: “Happiness...Simplified Series” (April 2014)
+++ Pre-500th Newsletter: “My Dreamscape-Before” (June 2016)
Which brings us to Now. So, How do I top This? Well, I am going to Talk about Something that has been Whirling in My Head.
So, What or Actually Where is “My Soul Place”?
Heaven, Christians might say. Well, Yeah. But, I mean, a Soul Place on Earth, while You are Living until You go to Heaven at The End of Your Life. Okay, so There is No such Thing or So I thought, until A Friend of Mine visited Hers and Discovered It! Who Knew?!
So, A Soul Place as a Word I made up that actually means Something, Defines as a Place You feel like You have been to Before. In Other Words, Not a Place that You have Literally been more than One Time but, A Place where Your Soul feels both like an Odd Sense of Deja Vu, a Supernatural Feeling beyond Rationality, and Most of All, A Place that You feel You just Belong. It is a like The feeling of Being in Love with Your Long-Lost Soulmate, but instead of a Person, It is a Place. Weird, Huh? That is what I thought. You could think of it as The Thing that The HGTV Show House Hunters International is made out of. You know, those times, Where they explain that These Parents move off to Let’s just say, Europe and The Perfectly Independent Adult Children stay back here in The United States. You talk to The TV as if They can hear you saying “Why Would You Do That?!” to which if You knew them, They would say either “Because I fell in Love” or “Because It Make me Happy”, using One or Both of Those Answers.
Now, The Friend I speaking of, Part of Me seeing what She is doing and wonders The Same Question I would as if watching House Hunters International and Part of Me knows what kind of a Person I am seeing doing this, thinking “The Heart wants what The Heart wants” or in this case, “The Soul wants what The Soul wants”. Now, barring in Mind that My Friend is one that is a “Gypsy Soul”, in Other Words, a Soul that always wants to Wander and Never stay in The Same Place.
However, My Friend, We will call her, “Gypsy January” for Writing Purposes, She has lived everywhere from Hawaii, The East Coast, and Her Present Home in The Midwest. But, I feel that Her Gypsy Soul has just been wandering Her Whole Life thirsting for Where The Heck It’s Soul Place Is and Finally, I believe It has found it. Now, I have only been Her Friend for a Couple Years, so I did not see her Level of Happiness in either East Coast or Hawaii, but It does not seem like Her Gypsy Soul was Happy in either of Those Places, which leaves her wanting to go to Her Soul Place as soon as Possible. She believes that Her Soul Place is Oregon. It is sort of like The Soulmate Theory, after Meeting Your Soulmate, You wished you would have found them sooner, like Several Days, Months, or Years Sooner. But, Ya Know, Destiny has funny ways of Working Out. That is both Relieving and Frustrating at The Same Time. “It’s in God’s Time” I am told and led to believe. Now, The Problem with that, is that, You hope to God that Your Family lives near Said Soul Place, in which Gypsy January’s does not.
Now, In Wondering about Mine, it makes me worry because I am a Family Man, I want to live pretty close to My Family like My Mom, Michael, and Smith Family. I mean, What if, Mine is out in Europe like Sweden, Switzerland, or Czechia. That is Very Far from Family! I have noticed in My Woman of My Dreams Projections as to Where They are from, both “Dream Girl”, Carol Holiday (Refer to That Story) and My Woman of My Dreams that I believe is named, Bridgett, both used to live in The Same Area, The Northeast, like New England. Now, I have to consider a lot of Things when thinking about both My Soul Place and Living somewhere in The Future.
This includes Things like Like-Mindedness (like Politics, Condition and so on), Natural Beauty, Closeness to either of My Three Families, Mom and Michael; Smith Family; and, of Course, PTLS Family Members, and then The Last Thing, Natural Disasters. Morbid, I Know. But, I Think of which one I would not mind living with.
Choices (at Least in The US) are Hurricanes (South and Southeast US), Tornadoes (Texas, South, and Lower Midwest), Earthquakes (Pacific Northwest/California and near Memphis), and of Course Blizzards (Northeast and Upper Midwest).
So, There is a lot to Consider. The Nearest I can think of is Maine where My Mom grew up or North Carolina with Mountains one way and Beach the other way. Now, The Last Thing that makes me think and It applies to “Gypsy January” as well is that, Sometimes You are told where You should live or even where Your Soul Place is.
Funny Thing is that, You never know where Your Soul Place is until You land there or drive there and You fall Head over Heels for that place. I mean, My Friend did not know that Oregon was Her Soul Place until She stepped outside to seeing The Coastline of Oregon. All in all, Your Soul Place is out there, There is Such a Place as That. In My Friend, “Gypsy January’s” Advice is to Follow Your Heart and Of Course, Follow Your Dreams because, really You never know... That and Follow Your Dreams even if They are a bit Scary and Who Know’s You might Laugh about It in a Few Years if It is True, If It is not, then You’ll still Laugh because You tried.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Follow Your Dreams and Heart! You will find that Soul Place.
