Boulder ColoRADo

I have been in Boulder, Co since Thursday and I instantly felt at home. I have met so many beautiful people and seen amazing places. However, I am aware that Boulder is a bubble similar to Bellingham, and if I ever want to grow I recognize the need to challenge myself with more diverse surroundings. For now- I am soaking it all up. Prescott's mountain home is completely magical, the area gorgeous, the people friendly, fit, and attractive, and the music scene is phenomenal.

I also fell in love with the Boulder Massage Therapy School and Naropa University's Transpersonal Counseling program. It is interesting finding two programs that seem ideal for me. The decision doesn't seem to be "which should I choose" but rather "which should I attend first." It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out as I continue my road trip and explorations. I am recognizing my ability to fall in love quickly with people and places. While right now I feel at home in Boulder, I might feel just as "at home" in Austin. Or Taos. Or LA. Likely I will fall in love continually through this journey- it seems to be the way my heart works these days.

Last night I played a set at the Conor O'Neil's open mic night, running into friend Scott Leith and making several new (facebook) friends. It seems everywhere I go I am meeting friendly faces and gaining more support in this town. . . it feels pretty magical. After leaving the bar all warm and fuzzy after a night of good beer, handsome company, and amazingly talented musicians, I stepped out into a snowy winter wonderland. The snow is still falling all around this magical forested canyon and I am enjoying a day in the cabin (pretending like I am snowed in). My last Boulder goal is to spend some time with dear friend Justin today or tomorrow. He arrived in Boulder late last night on a big road trip and move back. After I connect with him, I am heading out to Taos to see dear friends Scotty and Michelle. I am excited to explore their enchanted spot on the globe. :)

Namaste!
