So to all my Urban Mystic followers I know you are thinking
OMG, how come we have not seen any new post…in like forever. I am so sorry..Life
is in full motion over here. I know technically I am stilling having an
adventure, but I have begun to embrace this adventure with so much conviction
that, now every day I am just living my true life. Last year around this time
when I was still in the states, I told my friend Tony that I felt like I was in
the twilight zone; Like I had accidentally woken up in the wrong life. I had a
memory of my real life and no way to get back. That is a terrible feeling. When I left America I set out to find a
couple of things, (1st)
MYSELF, (2ND) A PLACE WHERE I KNEW I BELONGED, (3RD) A
MAN THAT COULD BRING AS MUCH TO THE RELATIONSHIP TABLE AS I COULD, (4TH)
A PLACE WHERE I CAN FEEL SAFE WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE NOT IN MY SIGHT, (5TH)
A PLACE WHERE I COULD FEEL AND SEE GOD ALL AROUND ME, (6TH) I NEEDED
TO BE; NOT JUST NEAR BUT RIGHT UP ON THE OCEAN, (7TH) A PLACE WHERE
I COULD BREAK LOOSE FROM THE CRAP AND BE THE BEST ME ALL THE TIME, (8TH)
A PLACE WHERE HUMAN BEINGS STILL CARE, LOVE, AND NURTURE ONE ANOTHER, (9TH)
I NEEDED TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE MANIFESTATION HAPPEN BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW YOU
NEEDED TO MANIFEST THEM, (10TH) LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I NEEDED TO GET
OUT OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE AND BACK INTO MY REAL LIFE, THE LIFE I WAS DESTANT TO
LIVE WHEN I WAS STAR DUST……AND I HAVE EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE THINGS HERE IN
ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO….
So what has been going on in this awesome manifestation I am
calling life. Let’s see, I’m going to jump around a bit, starting with the juiciest.
Mr. Morocco and I saw each other just about every day since the dinner, we’ve
had plenty of tea, plenty of dinners, watched a couple of movies, then more
tea, then one unexpected evening he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was a
little taken back because up until this point we had not kissed, held hands, or
sat closer than a couple feet. But it was so cute, I had not been asked to be a
girlfriend since I was in 3rd grade. So I asked him “well what will
change if I am your girlfriend?” he responded with his super cute accent “we
can hold hands”… and that was the first time he touched me. I swear I felt like
I was in a movie and the whole thing was happening in slow motion. And he was dead serious, all we did was held
hands…lol.. Sometimes for hours… then after a couple weeks of hand holding, I leaned
in to cuddle up. He was a little taken back, but he adjusted.
Next I have been
teaching Zumba here in Essaouira, the classes were a little slow getting
started, but now they are booming and I teach 12 classes a week plus I started
teaching English…You know what they say ‘slow and steady wins the race’. Next
my brother-in-law came to visit for a week, I was so pumped!!! We laughed, ate,
talked, laughed, and laughed some more. He gave me some really good advice about
how men view relationships, I am using his tips and all in well in paradise. I
love telling jokes, and I got my fill when my brother was here because he is
use to my humor. Now we are just living our day to day life. Some days I wake
up and cannot believe I am living in Africa, then my alarm goes off, the girls
come jumping in my bed, we start rushing
all around looking for socks and shoes, rushing out the door coffee in one
hand, lunch boxes in the other, keys in teeth, cell phone on my ear, flagging
down a cab, and when I finally sit in the cab, I start directing him to our
destination in Arabic and French, then it hits me, yep this is my life in
Morocco. And I am in love with every bit of it…
