It’s been a long haul, in more ways than one, but I have relocated and met the deadline of September 1 that my Higher Self required of me.

It started with research into where I might relocate to. This took months of investigation. Then there was my scouting trip in November of last year. I visited several areas and only one hit the right vibrational note. It became the likely place I would move to.

Before I began the early August trip, I told those, who would care to hear, that I will find a place and know where I will be living by the time I got back.  However, it was not as easy as I had hoped it would be. First, I went to check one more location, just in case. It was not my location, but at least I did check it out. This confirmed, to me, that the original, first stop area of November, indeed was the new place for me.

I expected that the place I was to live would just fall into place. Yeah, well, it didn’t. There were no banners, trumpets or other obvious ‘this-is-it’ indications when I was driving around for 3 days. It was far more subtle.

On my first search day here, I was blocked by traffic from going in the direction I had intended on going. Instead I drove in the opposite direction. I saw ‘apartment for rent’ signs here and there, but they were all by large, old homes that look like they were sub-divided into apartments that would be unsuitable for me.

I drove a few miles north then felt (Higher Self nudge) like I had gone as far north as I cared to. I turned around in the parking lot of a place with an ‘apartment for rent’ sign on the building’s main sign, but just headed back south.

I was into the local, daily paper’s classifieds. I called without luck…no connections, no one home. This went on for 3 days and I was getting more and more frustrated. I called Val and told him of my frustrations and that maybe I wasn’t to move after all. It would be far cheaper to stay where I was, but yet I knew that I had to be wherever by September 1. Val suggested I stay one more day longer than I intended. I was not inclined to do so.

The evening before I was to check out and head back, I heard about strong storms coming the next day that would cover my entire, long drive back home. I just felt I had to stay one more day with this extra event, so I did.

It was back into the classifieds, more calls and only one with a definite ‘come see’. I drove to the address and it turned out to be the same place where I turned around in the parking lot on my first day of random driving. Interesting, but I wasn’t convinced.

The building manager’s wife met me once I got buzzed inside and showed me a 3^rd floor (top) apartment. I was not impressed as it faced the parking lot and street. She told me there was another single bedroom apartment and this one her husband showed me.

This apartment has a sliding, glass door with a porch that faces oak and maple trees. The bedroom has the same view. First click for me. Lots of closet space. Quiet area and reportedly ‘nice’ people only live here. After the rest of the tour, I went with the building manager to his apartment, which is right next to the one I was shown.

His one hand touched mine and I got a spirit signal that I recognized for what it was. He gave me a security form to fill out and I did. I even wrote a check for the deposit. I did all this stuff to secure this apartment, but still was not convinced I did the right thing. Did I do it by impulse?

I went to a restaurant chain to get dinner, fully enveloped with what I had done and was it the ‘right thing’ for me. I was suddenly touched by an energy flow from my Higher Self, a very unique sensation, and I knew that I had found the place I was intended to relocate to. With that confirmation, I was totally ready to relocate.

I told various lengths of this story (there are far longer ones) to those who were tracking my progress and disappointed a few who wanted me to stay where I was. Phase I was complete. I have a new apartment to move to.

Phase II was next: the physical (and dreaded) move. I had 3 weeks to pack and get to where I was going. Boxes, boxes everywhere and no place to move! I still wasn’t sure how to get all this stuff from point A to point B.

For the past year, 2 lesbian friends of mine, from about 4 hours away, told me that they were going to help me move. I discouraged that for several valid reasons, but they were having none of it. When one told me she was bringing her grandson “with the muscles” to help, it was on. They insisted their way to assist. Of course it was their Higher Selves involved. They were the only people I know who offered to assist and I am very touched by that.

They came down and I got a rental truck (12% discount with AAA which was more than I paid for the AAA yearly membership – great). We were able to quickly load the truck in just over one hour. Very few pieces of furniture.  After clearing that stuff out, I was able to pack more and the next morning, we finished loading and were off.

I was driving my car, Sue was driving the truck and Mary drove their van. It took almost twice as long to drive, due to that truck and where one could drive it, that it takes to drive a car to my new location. We arrived just after 2 AM at the motel, only a few miles from my apartment.

I thought we’d arrive on Thursday the 30^th, but my Higher Self was not going to allow me to get there before Friday the 31^st. As I was born on a Friday, all my important events happen on that day and HS was not going to allow it to be any other, it seems.

So Friday we got to the new apartment and I signed the formal lease. I asked the apartment manager if he knew anyone who would like to help me unload. He said he did…called the man…but he was unavailable.

Sue knew she couldn’t get the truck backed up to the front door, but the apartment manager offered and did it. While watching the truck being backed up, I saw a man (30-ish) standing near me and watching. I told him I was just moving in and he said he was here to help. This was the same guy who was unavailable just a few minutes earlier. Higher Self intervention from his side. Very friendly guy – a Leo – who was a real pleasure to talk with. He lives on the same floor as me, but other end. Now I had Sue, muscles grandson of Mary’s and Joe to help and it went fast – just over 1 hour and it was done. Since both muscles grandson and Joe were Leo’s, I was sure to praise them a lot since they love it.

I asked Joe how much I owed him for his help. He said ‘whatever you feel is ok’ (I hate that). I gave him two $50 bills…it was worth it to me. Joe said it was too much for carrying boxes and gave me one $50 back!

On September 1, we took the truck back after loading a number of items I had for Sue and Mary into the back of a U-Haul trailer they were taking back to their home. I could not have made this move without their assistance.

Phase II was over – the hard, very physical part. Yet, when Sue and Mary left on Sunday to go home, I was really alone here. I don’t know anyone in this state even though they are very friendly here. I really felt alone.

Phase III: unpacking. That’s really the easiest of all of them since I can go at my pace. As of today, I am 95% unpacked.

A LOT of things have been falling into place for me, things that just are not normal. My Higher Self is definitely seeing that things happen with the incarnationally-unknowing assistance of several locals. No need for me to go into a string of events here, but I will mention one.

I needed to find a new primary care physician for my medical benefits (that followed me from work). The one I thought was perfect, after doing a LOT of computer research for one in my new area, was accepting new patients but did not have an opening for 2 months, the receptionist told me. Suddenly, she discovered an opening for 4 days later that wasn’t there before. I had my new doctor. Now my doctor never sees me unless I need a new referral for my chiropractor…and I DO need one. I met this new doctor on Monday evening. He’s cute with a personality (Libra) who likes to engage me in mental humor (that I’m much better at than he is). I could sense his Higher Self in recognition and it was flustering the incarnation who didn’t even know his astrological sign! The incarnation was real bubbly but I could tell that he really couldn’t figure out why, especially when I give my anti-AMA/prescription medicines speeches.

I have my chiropractor appointment this coming Friday. I told his receptionist that I’m out in hip, back, neck...basically everything that can be adjusted needs to be adjusted. That heavy move did it.

And so it is: I kept the deadline that my Higher Self had of relocating by September 1. The things happening here have been one validation after another. Now, if I can only find someone compatible to date who I won’t scare off by being me. My M5 trilogy is here and, hence, so is my gold energy thread to the Graduation Key.

It’s been a while since I was able to have the time to write segments, although I have been answering questions. My flag, “The Author M5 Lives Here” is flying on the balcony. Yeah, right. I am very interested to see what’s next for me.

As for the rest of the world, I’ve been saying something VERY bad is going to happen. I am now in a MUCH safer location than where I was, but even so, it will affect everyone to varying degrees. Time will tell exactly what…I don’t know, but I do know it is bad. Meanwhile, do what you can and what you want to while you still are able. Your path is unique to you. Trust in YOUR Higher Self.
