Well, I’ve been in Alaska for a week now and it’s had a profound effect on me already. My mind is clear, I am grounded, and I have direction. It’s amazing how this happens here for me. My wife and I have had so much fun here so far, and we have 3 weeks left! Here is a short list:

Our friend up here rescues wild birds and we had a pet raven for a few days.

I helped build a wood shed on the farm here.

I’ve seen 2 moose so far.

We got to go to the bird rescue headquarters and saw eagles, hawks, falcons and more up close.

Fished the world famous Kenai and Russian Rivers.

We actually got cold up here which is a nice change from the 115 degrees temps in Phoenix.

Saw the farmer on the land hay the fields.

Watched our buddy Bill fall into the frigid Russian River.

Saw 2 movies at the theater, Die Harderer 3 and Waitress.

It is just amazing how wonderful I feel as mosquitos try to bite my typing fingers. I’m sitting on an adirondack chair on the deck of a log cabin overlooking a farm and the surrounding gigantic snowtopped mountains. What a get away from the city life. Very little distractions, no TV reception, I barely get internet and cell phone service. So I think, read and relax. I am almost finished with Dr. Demartini’s book How To Make One Hell Of A Profit And Still Get To Heaven. As usual, he finds a unique and spiritual approach. And I plan on following many of his ideas. I realized that I have been quite the slacker in most areas of my life. I set it up so I have money flowing in automatically. Then I stopped working pretty much instead of accelling at what I do well. I live comfortably, but can have and do so much more. So I decided I am done with settling, time to expand. I have my programmer in Romania working hard again on my project. I am going to start saving money and may sell my rental property to buy land up north. My wife and I are thinking about building a home there. Less distractions seem to do us both good. It’s so easy to lose focus with as much sensory input we get.

So I will be mostly living in a tent in the forest on an 80 acre farm pondering my belly button for the next 3 weeks. It seems a lot of people were jealous that I get to go up here every year which seems absurd. Just follow your dreams, live your imagination, and the result will be worth it. Or don’t, just sit there and be jealous or angry or happy that somebody is having a good time. Either way, I am taking care of me and I send you love and light from up north.
