Ok so it is true and my beloved mountains won in the decision of where to escape in the battle over mountain or sea. Stories will follow soon to explain more about the pictures, the adventure and an amazing, way too short get away.
Here is a little trail love from today and a heart shaped rock I found laying on the path. Sending you much love and will catch up reading you very soon.

We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

The beauty lies always in the detail my friend, thanks for sharing this! Sending you hugs from Amsterdam (in transit). I had hoped ( and still do) to see some beautiful mountain scenery later today when I will drive from Seattle to Portland, but the weather gods are calling for torrential rains. Have a blessed day tomorrow (for me it is already Wednesday 😉)

Once again you are so close to me and one day you will have to stop by for that tiramisu 😉. Have a safe trip and keeping my fingers crossed that you get a glimpse of some beautiful mountains. And if not I will have to post some to hold you over until next time. Hugs

Thanks my friend, this means so much! I sure hope I get to taste your tiramisu one day! Arrived safely and are now in my hotel after a 26 hour day, including the last 6 at work. But that’s life. And it is not too bad. Today only torrential rain, no mountains. But there will be plenty time in the summer to explore the Columbia Gorge, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens and the Cascades. Looking so much forward to it! Hope so much your are still enjoying your trip! Marcus

A beautiful area indeed to explore. Mount Rainier especially during wildflower season when the top is still snow capped.
And I’m sure we will visit over tiramisu some day 😉
Have a great trip my friend.
