Ventura, Monticello, Visualization of Mecca becoming Community I remember as a youngster going to the Ventura Pier with my father who liked to fish. While he was fishing, when I wasn't splashing around in the ocean, I was lighting candles in the Mission. I remember thinking this would be such as awesome place to live. My marriage went Terminus when we lived in Washington State. My thought was, I can live anywhere I want. Thus my two boys and I moved to Ventura, California. It turned out that this is where we needed to be. My younger is hearing impaired and the School system had one of the first infant Deaf and Hard of Hearing Programs in the Country. There was the challenge of living on "The Avenue" - a somewhat blighted neighborhood but within walking distance to the ocean and the pier where my Father used to fish. Eventually, we moved to Ojai which is an Artsy Crafty Metaphysical type of community. I loved it. We were near Clothing Optional Beaches, Sweatlodges, Sage Covered Hiking Trails, Funky Bookstores, Meditation Mountain, the Goddess Center, Ad Infintum. Life on Life's terms took us to West Forgotten by Santa Virginity. What a major culture shock that was. I adjusted, discovering the alternative folks and ordering specialized Astrology books via Amazon. I learned to make oils and incenses that I could not longer buy in Metaphysical Stores. Now my older is in Georgia while my younger remains in West Virginia. My step- returned to California. Life on life's terms has landed me in Charlottesville, Virginia. Thomas Jefferson has alway been my favorite Historical Person and even as a youngster I wanted to see his home of Monticello. Now I live near Monticello and it's my favorite hang-out. Life is amazing. Life in C-Ville reminds me of how much I missed the funky coffee shops and bookstores in Ventura.  Abracadabra  |
