ecoVillages Journal #18: Tickets Are Booked Back To Portugal!.. Will they let me in?

Of COURSE they will let me in, right?! Well i'll let you know.. I am due to fly to Portugal in one week one Sunday 26th, hopefully with a piece of paper showing i own some land and a place to stay! We are ALMOST there with the land purchase, and I hope to have 100% confirmation on Monday that the purchase went through. These are daunting times for me, and today im really grappling with the amplitude of things I will need to accomplish over the very short and longer term. Suddenly I have a LOT to figure out, and many important decisions to make both for ecoVillage and myself. I have no where else i can go, no home or any way back to my previous life. The only way is forwards!

There has been some great synchronicity happening, and im quite relieved that i have managed to connect with someone who lives just 10 minutes from our land who has a small stone cottage that I can stay in when i get there. Our land has nothing, not even water yet, so will definitely need a place to stay that is low cost or free whilst i reboot my life and the ecoVillage! As it turns out, this English guy knew me, and suddenly as we were at the start of our conversation he says:

Haha, my new friend turns out to be someone who had been to India and helped me pound tyres to build my Home (Earthship Karuna).. around 10 years ago now! What a lovely connection we had after we both remembered that.. and now I have a place to stay and someone who I can connect with. AND he lives right near our plot! Very NICE!

Once i get there, IF they let me in. of course they will right!? It's fine, it's fine.. ;-) ONCE i get there, and I will, the first priority on the land of ecoVillages will be water! We have a water douser ready to help us to locate the spot to start digging, or drilling.. im not even sure how they do things out there yet. .Its a WHOLE new world for me. A complete new start. Everything i have learned at Karuna Dham in the past 14 years will be tested here, starting again from nothing, with almost no savings, no income, and no exact plan!

I DO have a lot of ideas. I feel overwhelmed, and scared, but I also feel so much opportunity now.. I have been wanting change for a very long time, and boy as it come!

SO, BIG shout out to you all wherever you are. I hope you are OK and somehow making life work.. Its always nice to hear from you.. i know so many of you read and don't comment.. but i think right now i have been alone for weeks on end, and could use some encouragement for the times ahead..

I will update you on Monday with i HOPE a piece of paper with the land deeds completed!
