Okay, I'm trying this once again.  I posted hurriedly without proofing and  I made some mistakes in my entry below.  I did move recently and oh, do I love the Big Sur area.

 Also, I meant to say I would enjoy connecting personally or just on this forum.  

That's it I believe for revision.  I  look forward to communication.

Thanks,

 Marcie 

Hi everyone, Marcie here.  When I first joined Ithou I resided in Arizona.  I have recently moved to CA (YEAH!!!!) and am renting a home with a roommate in the Santa Cruz mountain area, near Redwood Estates.

 Took a drive down to Garepatta (probably not correct spelling) beach area yesterday and on my, do I love, love this entire area.  It feels like home for me.

 As I know next to no one in the area, and I'm longing for conscious connection and joyful dialogue, I would enjoy connecting with those that are in the vicinity, even only thru this forum.

 I always feel welcomed here and look forward to a 'reunion' of sorts with those that i've yet to meet.

Thanks, and blessings, as always.

Thank you Zen Puppy and Henry for your loving words.  I'm still learning how to use the website, so I hope a thank you blog is appropriate.

This is the first place I posted my 'introduction'.  I am still learning to use my voice, I guess.   Divine timing, I'm learning to honor the flow.  

 Thanks again for projecting feelings of safety.  It is such an important gift.

 With love,

Let me begin by saying how wonderful it is to be welcomed into this experiment.  There is a true warmth here that is felt immediately upon viewing.  I have spent quite a bit of time in Big Sur and a weekend at Esalen.  I resonate with this area more than any other place I've been (though New Zealand was like a homecoming as well).

I was actually guided to this site during a meditation.  I heard the words 'online spiritual community'.  I used the search engine and began scrolling down, not feeling drawn to any of them.  At the bottom of this first page sat iThou.org.  I fixed on it and felt a tug.  I clicked on it and, like they say, the rest is history.

I have a rich inner world and even richer dialogue with it.  I feel the grandest part of my life is just beginning.  It is to this end I would like to share a bit more of myself and what I envision our evolution to be.  Thank you for allowing me to do so.
