This is another picture from the road. I took it from the window as we were driving into the Oakland area on our way to San Francisco. The sunset was breath-taking. It's another moment in time...a lot of those to come over the next few months. We'll be driving a lot of miles and visiting a lot of places. I'm sure I'll take a lot of photos. Our first stop on the way to Iowa is Arches National Park in Utah. I can't wait to take photos there.
Some challenges have been thrown our way over the last couple of weeks. A little bit of everything, really. The universe is testing each of us in different ways. I'm learning some more things about myself and working it all out. I'm learning to trust with my whole heart, to trust what I know in my core and to dismiss the 'fluff' on the fringes. I'm learning to have faith in my ability to manifest what I want my life to look like and to not give in to the swirls of worst case scenarios. I have angry moments when I want to scream enough already, but I know it all ultimately makes me stronger and more determined. I have moments of fear and self-doubt, and I struggle with that part of me. It's old stuff, learned by example. I look back at how far I've come as an individual and I feel proud of my progress.
My love and I have ordered our engagement rings and we continue to watch the various state governments work out their issues over gay marriage. As each state gets closer to making it legal, we get closer to setting a date...or dates. I can not put into words the depth of my happiness. She is truly a blessing and I am so thankful for her presence in my life.
