Gusty, but KimmeeG and I drove out to check out the conditions. One Kiter passed us heading out of town in his honda Element, he seemed curious but not stupid to get into the conditions just yet. We pondered the entrance to the lake and didn’t feel like getting the passat high centered like the I did the time in the San Rafael Swell and I was rescued by a prayer to Lauree the Reverand. We drove out gathered silver sage by the mine tailings and wondered about the contamination from the area. “Is it safe?” K. asks. “Not Sure” I respond, “U-tube has pretty good footage, but”. The light was changing fast and as we drove out of town we pulled off the side of road, to the watch the sunset. It was specactular, the Utah western light always makes me tear up, Hawaii has nothing on our sunsets, surprisingly. We didn’t need to talk much, we both knew K should have brought her paints, and I hoped that the sage I collected was enough to replace the sage I had been using up at the Shaman’s house. I learned something that night to follow your gut and get out of the house more, take a friend, and remember to receive the gifts that you were not expecting. I so heart Alpine Glow. —xojk

How I did it: Applied for a permit in January, for a Fall time that I could go. Told all my friends they were invited they just needed to get 7 days off of work. Have at least one other friend really involved so the trip happens with support. Have many phone conversations with people to see who was coming and so you stay involved. Call the Monticello river office and pay for the permits, call the Navaho Reservation and pay for hiking permits. Reserv… Read how I did it…
I did it, or should I say WE DID IT! It took my community who showed an outpouring of love I had no idea existed for me until this time of hardship. I shared what was up for me, no frills, no cover ups, pure vulnerability of What Was So for ME. And I received unconditional love and support, and therefor my health has healed. Thank you community! It does take a village to brace this world. Love and Light, Jennifer Kuhlmann
Healing, a novel concept, I have been working on the mental, emotional, physical part but none of it matters unless the neural pathways are firing, which mine have not been. I had a muscle testing and my organs are shut down, plus fixations at L5, T12. I am on thyroid meds which is part of the puzzle, lets see if I can dial in the rest of the puzzle. Basically the healer told me I was on my way to chronic fatigue. You don’t have to tell me I felt the downward spiral in my body, brain, and life. Thank God for YOGA.
