Life is Precious (from the eye of Hurricane Milton 🌀)
I'm sitting here in a local coffee shop (who's open because they are running off of 3 generators), with tears rolling down my cheeks as I am experiencing deep, deep love and gratitude for so many things.
Late Weds of this week, Hurricane 🌀 Milton hit Siesta Key/Sarasota, Florida -- which is where we have been living for the last 5.5 months. We are no strangers to Hurricanes (and this season has been a lot specifically... Tropical Storm Debby that caused a lot of flooding, Hurricane Helene that cause storm surge flooding on the barrier islands just a couple weeks ago... followed by Milton as a Cat 3 Hurricane Weds).
I'm realizing today how this experience has been an immense deepening of trust in myself and the incredible support from God, The Universe, and my Spirit Guides.
As the hurricane was approaching, neither Jai (my husband) nor I had a strong intuitive nudge that we needed to leave. Even as it continued to "barrel towards us" and strengthen as a Category 4, then a 5 -- we still felt at peace with our decision to stay.
Wednesday, we got the message that evacuation zone C needed to leave (which is what zone we were in), so we prepped the house for potential flooding from storm surge, and left the next morning to go to a very generous friend's house, who was more inland from the coast (still in Sarasota) for the hurricane.
As the storm approached Thursday evening, we enjoyed the connections with new friends (there were 9 of us + 4 dogs in my friend's house! and yes, it was calm!!!). For us, the first half of the storm was similar to other storms and thunderstorms we've had in Florida.
Then it happened... we were in the eye of the storm.
We all went outside to experience the calmness. The winds had completely stopped. It lasted for about 40 minutes or so. Then, we went through the other side of the eye wall & the winds picked up. We went to bed around 10:30, and the back half of the storm was worse than the front end. It lasted until about 2-3am.
We woke up the next day, at first light and went out to explore. Our friends house had no damage 🙏 -- and yard was littered with debris from trees from large limbs and smaller branches that had been knocked off during the storm.
Later on Thursday, we returned to the place we are renting (that is close to the coast/beaches) and the only damage was some external damage (fence down, siding off one side, etc). No structural damage. No power (totally makes sense!).
We are on day 4 with no power, and it's honestly been so, so beautiful in many ways. So grateful that the weather in Florida cooled down significantly after Milton, which has made being in the house and sleeping much more comfortable (than a hot AF house! 🥵). We also prepped food ahead of time that is ok to eat cold, that we already love -- and have been able to keep that in a cooler with ice. We have candles, and flashlights. We also have (city) water (some in our neighborhood don't as they are on well water!!!).
I have a strong feeling that our power may return today, and the local power company says by end of day Weds at the latest. No matter the outcome... we are supported. We will figure out. We won't go without.. because whatever we go "without" -- maybe we weren't meant to have.
I also want to acknowledge that there is a wide range of experiences and loss/damage from this hurricane to the local areas... actually a large part of Florida. I cannot possibly address all of these things here in this blog post, so to keep it simple, I'm sending loving energy to all those who were impacted. 🙏
I channeled this message on Friday... the day after we returned from the storm, and I asked the Record Keepers what the message that was in the highest and best good to send would be.
Life is precious and full of many moments — some that can cause distress, and others that can bring joy.
Remember that no matter the moment – it too, will pass. Nothing is “set in stone.”
What anchors (some) things into your physical reality is the mental and emotional bodies.
For some, once the mind has an idea, it will “recruit” the emotional body to get on board with the idea and anchor it with emotion.
When one feels an emotion strongly, it is easy to claim it as “mine” and by doing so, this can be the start of anchoring a new way of being into reality.
What if what you’ve been anchoring in – isn’t true?
What if it was a moment – that comes and goes?
Because if it can come… that also means it can leave.
It can be that easy, and it doesn’t feel that way at times, because anchors can be heavy. 
We offer this as a point of reflection into your own experience: How many anchors do you have?
The goal isn’t to remove all anchors.
For anchors have a real purpose when used with intention.
(Imagine having a boat at dock or at shore without an anchor).
Keep on sailin'
