Goodbye Blue Earth,MN!

The Green Giant! This statue is so cool, it’s in the middle of, what feels like nowhere, but yet is noticeable from the interstate. This town is small, quiet, and easy to get to.

I had a nice time here. It was relaxing, rejuvenating, and, to me, the beginning of awesome places to see while on my way out west and back.

This morning was nice; I slept hard, hardly remember my dreams, which sometimes is what happens. I will remember them when I need to is what I tell myself. I then made coffee in my room, with my own bottled water, and had my cream with me. I’m sort of a “water” and “creamer” snob. Last time I took this trip, years ago, I became very sick and it was due to drinking some water along the way somewhere, don’t know where, and I was sick for days. I travel with my own water, make my coffee with my own water, and only drink bottled water going out West. It’s healthier for me.

After coffee, I started organizing and repacking. Yes, I unpack what I can wherever I am. This makes me feel grounded, it makes me feel “at home” wherever I am, and it makes me feel “prepared”. All the things I unpack reminds me of the abundance of “stuff” I have, even if it’s a small amount , reminds me I don’t “need” to buy extras, and it reminds me I can make a “home” anywhere and feel safe and comfortable.

After doing that I showered, packed, paid for the hotel in cash, and headed out. I snapped the photos of the Giant on the way out. Not much to see other than how cool he looks from a distance, and I love driving. I love the quiet, I love the daydreaming I do, I love the answers I get from God. I get ideas and thoughts and write them down or speak them out loud. I started doing this when I drove truck for Kenworth in April of 2020. The peace, quiet, and soothing of my soul and spirit happened so naturally and quickly in that position. I started to create a life I love. My ideas have come to fruition this year, my prayers are being answered daily in my life, and I feel as though I have connected to a super power with God. I get this is my trip, my experience, and that’s ok. Not everyone has this type of experience. Doesn’t mean “you are doing it wrong”, just means it’s not time yet for your awakening. That time comes to everyone differently, in different ways, through different steps, and different life experiences. Be blessed today, right now, in this moment! I’m off to a national park somewhere in Jackson, MN, I think! I’ll write more about it after I experience it!

I am a woman of God, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and a Life Coach. I recently started this path and completed my certification in September of 2020. Since then I have been living a life I love within four major quadrants of my life; Health, Vocari (vocation), Time/Money/Freedom, and Relationships; All of these being worked on daily in small action items and tons of prayer. I spent some time between October of 2020 to March of 2021 in my hometown of Champaign, IL and witnessed God's word and work on the healing of my mother after a very invasive procedure. This led me to Midland, SD and found The Stroppel Hotel and Hot Baths where God, Healing, and overall family wellness is starting to kick off for many others to come. In collaboration with the hotel, Christian Life Coaching, and Sustainable Home Life there will be services and support with healing and structures for families of any background.
