What can I say, Naples? I leave on Thursday permanently. Since 2004 my family has called Naples home. My children were nine and five at the time we arrived. We quickly settled into the rhythm of Naples going to the beach Fourth of July at the pier and many other activities that Naples offers. My children called Naples and the SWFL area Home. But my husband and I have always struggled with the heat and the humidity. So we decided to move up to Tennessee. We found a great house, in a beautiful country area and we are so excited to start this next leg of our journey. While Rick will still work for Swan River in season, I’m gonna let life show me where my next focus should be. I’ll be spending lots of time, outdoors, gardening, planting trees, and thoroughly enjoying nature like I always have. If I’m honest, I believe that my DNA from N.
European countries makes it especially hard for me to be outside for any length of time without heat stroke becoming a very real possibility. I’m so excited to be outside in Tennessee without that threat. Getting back to getting my fingers in the ground, my face in the sunshine watching clouds and just all the things that nature offers. I’ve been collecting information about the hundreds of waterfalls that you can hike to around Tennessee and I want to explore and see what’s there. I plan to forage herbs and make tinctures and become a real bona fide medicine woman. But enough about my excitement at moving to Tennessee. Naples spiritual community, I will miss you. I feel like for the 11 1/2 years that Goddess I AM was open we really made some magic. We opened a lot of hearts and eyes to the truth of so much beauty that exists on this planet and beyond. So many friendships were created and even Love affairs were started at Goddess I AM. Many learned skills that they now use to heal people. You came, and you bought the beautiful crystals and objects of your desire, tools to enhance your practices and make you feel good all around. How patiently people heard me talk about this Crystal or that Crystal and all that they do. I love you all and I am so grateful for having the opportunity for so many years to serve you in the small way that I was able to. Many came to us in a state of brokenness, sadness, divorce, or loss and you found solace with our open hearts. I appreciate each and everyone of you that crossed the path of Goddess I AM. There are those who may not be so happy about me, but it’s OK. I take nothing personally about this experience that I shared with you. I wish you all love and growth and happiness.  For all of the readers and the healers who spent time at Goddess I AM, I am especially grateful for all of you because I learned so very much through talking, sharing, and getting readings from you. To all of the guests, the clients and the visitors of GIA I am so grateful for your support, your openness, and your beautiful shining energy. We all benefited and I am so very grateful. And so I leave you Naples, but I’ll return regularly because my children are here and my grandson is here. I’ll let you know and if it looks like I’ll be doing readings I’ll post here so keep an eye out and I’ll begin sharing what’s going on with me up north a little bit thank you again. I’m so very grateful for all of the support that I’ve received, and that I was able to share,Namaste🌺🌹🌺
