Trains and subways to see the baby
The weekend in Forest Hill was awesome. Great women going through and fabulous staff. How blessed I am to be able at the age of 74 to participate in such life changing opportunities for women. If for any reason you do not know about Woman Within, check their website sometime. www.womanwithin.org.
Anyway, after the weekend I flew back to San Diego for a few days before I left for DC to be with my grandsons Dryver and Stryde. Thanksgiving was very cool. We went to Army Navy Country Club for dinner. I am still full. Lots of good food and we didn't have to cook or cleanup. The boys were great and it is a pleasure being with my son and daughter-in-law. The main reason I was in that area was to be around when Molly's baby was born. She is in NYC and DC is closer than San Diego. She was due on Thanksgiving day so we thought. So needless to say we were ecstatic when Peter arrived early on Monday November 30th. 7 pounds 11 ounces or something like that.
Tuesday morning I took the train to NYC. I enjoy the train and it was fun. Since I was in such a hurry to see the baby and didn't have much time, I took a taxi to the hospital. There is no way to describe the feelings when I was with my daughter and her new baby. Molly is amazing and I have nothing but admiration for her spirit and how she has lived her life.
NO WORDS CAN DESCIBE THE BABY.
So after my alotted time, I tried to get a taxi back to the train station. Well, you must have heard the jokes about getting a taxi at 5:00 in NY. Sooo I took the subway. There are really no words to describe that experience either. I did learn to ask and most often was given a helpful response. Long story short, got back to Alexandria safe and sound with much more love in my heart and excitement about life.
How can so much time have passed?
Okay. So it has been 16 months since I last posted. YIKES!!! Sometimes when I find old "to-do" lists they have the same things on them as years ago. Unlike the "to-do" lists which still do remain pretty much the same, my life has taken some new roads and I am excited about the path. So much to do and so little time. I guess I will have to live to be older than I wanted.
So in my last post ... Serenity Forest ... while an absolutely fabulous concept, did not work out for me. OH WELL!!! I learned a lot and am very grateful for the experience. My friend Marlene used to say "sometimes we need a brick in the head to pay attention." I hope the center will prosper and continue the healing it offered.
Anyway, to give you the whole story of the past year and a half will take up several blog entries ... so I will begin with where I am right now.
GOOD NEWS ... I am healthy and recovered from rotator cuff repair surgery from last April.
BETTER NEWS... I am excited and hopeful about my future. Transitioning to live in San Diego, CA. My beautiful daughter Abby is living there now.
BEST NEWS ... My new grandson Peter Larrison Bogardus was born on November 30th in NYC. Molly is a fabulous mom and Petey is a fabulous grandson. Doing extremely well. Hope to see him soon.
Other amazing stuff I will share in future blogs include: my training in Pranic Healing, sobriety for over a year, finally taking something for my ADD and what that has been like. Have hope I really can get my life together before I croak. Lots of new workshops. Amazing results with Soul Connections, continued adventures on my travels and other stuff.
I am planning workshops in San Diego, Rochester NY, Chicago area, DC area, St Louis, Houston and anywhere there is interest. More specific info to follow and you can check the website which will be updated soon. www.paulysoulstuff.com
So for today, please know I will be posting at least 4 times a week when possible and hope to hear from you all.
