Last night I arrived in Tijuana, Mexico at Monte Maria with my dear friends the Missionaries of Jesus and Mary. I’ve been coming here nearly 11 years. It is not the most beautiful part of Mexico, but what I have learned here can’t compare to visual beauty. This part of my journey is just what I need. It's so reassuring to be exactly where I should be. I'm really working on being 100% present each moment, each day. Not to live for the future to be completely enjoy exactly where I am.
These crazy, wonderful people are my extended family. I am so blessed to be a part of their family. They live completely by the grace of God and serve God’s people 24 hours a day. For those of you who have had the pleasure of coming before with me, you know exactly what I’m talking about and for those of you who haven’t; I hope you get the opportunity.
I wanted to take the opportunity to say hello. I don’t know how often I will have internet access while I am here. Today was perfect. I woke, ate breakfast, explored my soul with Padre Jorge (it's inevitable) and then read my books for a few hours and took a long nap, cuddled up in a warm blanket on the sofa. It’s been very relaxing and peaceful. I am continuing to working on letting go. This is the place I have learned to be myself and to accept each moment for what it is. There is nothing that time here can’t cure. I’m hoping being here will help me with my control issues. It's a good pace of life for me. I have the most beautiful room. Each aspect is like a ray of sun from heaven. They took care to get me new flannel pajamas, toiletries, fluffy towels, fresh flowers, a perfectly made bed and on and on. Hospitality is love. Gracious, abundant love for no other reason than you are loved. It's humbling to say the least.
I’m loving Liz Gilbert’s book. I don’t want it to end. I highly suggest it. I will be eating, praying and loving while I am here. I also have testimonies of great miracles that have happened here recently to share with you.
May peace be in your heart. I’m searching for mine.
