Arizona Part 4: More Sedona

On the trail by the creek there was naturally growing Moonflowers (the white flower in the middle)!! No wonder I love this place ;)

I hope you enjoyed my pictures and thank you for sharing this experience with me.

Arizona Part 3: Sedona Part 1

I looooove Sedona. I didn't even have touch up these photos, the colors are so so vibrant My eyes were blown away. I have so many pictures of Sedona, I am splitting it up into two posts, and it's not even all of them! The town was so beautiful too, I got a few trinkets there (I will show them in another post!) and then we hiked up to Cathedral Rock. It kicked my butt!

The terrain was so amazing, we started by Oak Creek on a forest trail, but ended up rock climbing! I will show pictures of the creek in the next post. While we were hiking, I stopped to pull an oracle card and my card was the Weasel. Basically telling me to enjoy this moment and take it all in. Jimmy got the Wolverine. The last pictures are of us at the very top. We were enclosed by there rock towers, hence the name I am sure. I felt pretty victorious up there. It was such a fun day.

I am so happy you are all enjoying these pictures, it's not over yet!

Arizona Part 2: The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was so so surreal. When we first got there it was so bright and sunny, the canyon looked like a painting; a vast backdrop of reds and browns. So amazing. As the day grew long, the wind picked up and clouds loomed overhead giving the canyon so much depth and shadow. Again, S.U.R.R.E.A.L. We climbed and explored for hours, and I took that little pine cone as a souvenir :) It is now on my altar.

I also had to put a picture of my handsome boyfriend up. This picture was too good to pass up. I am so blessed to be able to go on adventures with that loving soul of his.

Next time, we will go hiking in the canyon. I am so grateful for this beautiful earth we live on.

Arizona Part 1: Flagstaff

Words cannot really capture what I experienced in Arizona. I am not even sure pictures can either. My whole life I have never really felt like I have had a true home. I grew up in Napa, moved down to Southern California, but it has all felt the same to me. I have often wondered if my soul would ever be content somewhere, and up to this point, I have accepted that my roots would never experience sinking deep into a "true home," whatever that meant anyway.

But Arizona. I can feel my roots seeking deeply there. There is something so majestic and spiritual in that region, I still cannot wrap my head around it. Maybe I am not supposed to; over-thinking is overrated anyway. Now that I am back, it is so painfully apparent how unrooted I really am here.It is hard to concentrate, and my soul longs to go back to that Wilderness. I truly miss that place. 

I must get back there, and I must live there one day. I am not sure when or how, but it will happen. For now I can share these pictures with you all. There are lots more to come from the Grand Canyon and Sedona.
