Hi Open,

I loved revisiting that Fellowship of the Rings video again. I've always been drawn to Merlin and my childhood book called The Sword and the Stone. What has remained the same for me is I'm still doing my own thing. I never stayed locked down back then and won't now if that should come up again.

What changed is my same landlord came to me and said I could choose to stay in my other house or move into this new house he had built 7 years ago approx. and I had lived here for a year previously. His words were "I think you'd be safer at my place" He was moving out of town and I jumped at the chance to live here. I feel this is where I'm meant to be, at least for now.

I talk to the police here in town from time to time as they're very friendly and informative. One day I mentioned where I was moving to (my current home now) and he said that street's one of the best places to live, it's the safest place in town. Well that was sure synchronicity and confirmation. I've since found out from some of the neighbors that none of them took the jab and will never take it. They're preparing for whatever comes ahead. I had thoughts of where to move to find a group of like-minded people "out there" somewhere and they are right here on my road! How amazing. My neighbor who lived where my other house was, moved here to this same road within a week or so of my move. So people are being drawn to this road apparently. There's much forested acres around here, very peaceful. It's outside of the town in the country.

I had quite a lot of anxiety for a while and did my best to soften and work into it. Since the Avalon Rising event almost all the anxiety has left for now. I feel much quieter and able to allow myself to be more quiet and contemplative about the inner work. I got the thumb injury right after moving and I'd been doing a lot of fasting daily but about a week into the injury my body became ravenously hungry so I started eating more. I think more nutrition was needed to help me heal. I also started napping every day and still do most days. I never take day naps but feel this has been beneficial to me. Things are taking place in the dream state I feel certain of. So I'm just going with the flow much more, where I would refuse to nap even if I was very tired. What needed to change was my controlling things too much. Now I'll nap and rest and eat if needed but still like doing the fasting from evening one night into the next day until around noon.

One other thing that seems to have really been persistent on me, is I feel this almost "craving" or very strong "pull" to either get a small dog or another cat. My cat passed almost 4 years ago and she was so psychic and in tune with me. I know we read each other's thoughts. I've resisted getting another animal for various reasons but I sense fear is the main reason I don't do it. I feel fear losing it or having to give it up is the strongest thing that stops me. Right before I moved here a lady was going to give me an elderly dog that was very loving and gentle and I wanted to get him but lost her number while moving. Found it again but have had the thumb injury. I tell myself she probably placed him elsewhere but still feel strongly to connect with her again. I don't know why this urge to get an animal drives me so strongly and won't let go. I'm going to get her number again and if she's held onto that dog all this time then I'll know he's meant to be mine. That seems to be the biggest thing that wants to change in spite of my resistance. This dog's name is Pauncho if that means anything.
