Seattle Girl on Cape Cod: Winds of CHANGE

"Sometimes we can only find our true direction when we let the winds of change carry us."—Mimi Novice

Hello fellow Earthlings!

It's been a very long time since I've been here on this blog. How have you been? There is no way I can fully recount all that has happened in the one year and 8 months since I've been here. Perhaps it was a period of ENGAGEMENT in the world for me and a step away from introspection and this blog. I did in fact get engaged and married during my time away. I got married on September 30, 2023 to my beloved Scott Walsh. A beautiful gathering of friends and family came to Cape Cod to witness our union. It was a time of love, excitement, gatherings, beauty, travel—it was an extroverted time after having been introverted for so long due to the pandemic. By 2023, we were really ready to be part of the world again. We led two retreats to Italy during that time (one in September 2023 and one in May 2024) and had an opportunity to also travel to Greece, a lifelong dream, and visit Athens, Santorini, Delphi and Meteora. On the more somber side of things, Scott's 100 and half year old mom died on September 25, 2024, 5 days before our one year anniversary. Luckily, she was able to attend our wedding and I still feel her presence since her transition to the other side. I am so happy that Scott has had these past four years with his mom on Cape Cod. They became very close and saw each other every week and it changed both of them for the better. So much has happened and I am still in the process of downloading and integrating all of these things.

But to fully understand it all, I am feeling a call to go inward again. I am feeling the winds of change coming on strong again. It's no accident that I live on a strip of sand in the Atlantic Ocean where the wind is constantly shaping and changing the landscape. Today on my walk with Scott, it was whipping across the blank canvas before us. The beach stretched out as far as the eye could see. If it weren't for the striking contrast between the white sand and deep blue sea, It would seem like we were in the desert.

The weather seemed to depict the current state of the world: wavy, windy, changeable, unsettled, unpredictable, chaotic at times. Even the temperature has been all over the map here. On October 21st, I swam in those waves because it was a balmy 73 degrees outside. Then the next day it was fall and I needed a jacket, and then again summer, fall, summer, fall....up, down, up, down, up, down. Whoa!

I made an announcement on Facebook, which I'm on a lot, that I'll just be posting links to blog posts every now and then, but I think I need to delete my account and hope that people will bookmark this blog and come here to interact. The heaviness and crazy wave making going on on social media is more than this girl can take. I'm extremely empathic and feel everything. I need to work on boundaries much more so that I can function better in this crazy world and be of better service to myself and my fellow Earthlings. 

I'm being asked by my guides to step through a door again and what is on the other side is completely UNKNOWN to me right now. I am not unfamiliar with the unknown and have stepped through these mysterious doors many times. By now you'd think it would be easy, but I'm afraid. However, I'm going to do it. 

I have learned that when something deep inside me calls for a change, it's usually for a very important reason and to not take action would be worse than embracing the mystery that lies on the other side.

So what is this change, you ask? Part of it has to do with finding our "tribe" as I like to call it, so that we can do the work we came here to do. We have been part of many circles, the two of us, and have found that working with other like-minded people is very helpful. I foresee that working in "tribes" or "circles" is going to be extremely beneficial to many people in the coming decade and may even completely change how people operate. Historically, it was common for people to be part of  smaller circles and tribes and it allowed them to be more efficient in working towards common goals. I also foresee a shift away from social media and MEDIA all together, which tends to tell us what to think. I feel the need to "deprogram" myself a bit from what I've learned and be in tune more and in acceptance more of what is "coming through" me. And there is so much coming through right now. It's hard to even put in to words what is coming through.

Stay tuned here as I navigate this change and step through this door. Maybe you are also feeling the winds of change happening in your own life. I'm feeling that if I heed this call of my heart I can't go wrong. Listening deeply to my heart and following it has never, ever led me astray, but it does take quite a bit of trust and stepping out of my comfort zone. Here I go....

In love & light,

Katherine
