Our Final Day in Portland

I rested so well last night, however Jake did end up with a case of food poisoning (we think) and was vomiting all morning. Poor little guy. What a trooper, he came with us to our sessions today and between naps he just sat with us in sessions, watching intently. He was looking a bit better and hadn’t eaten much. We are pretty certain there was a purging of some kind for Jake. All the pressure and stress of getting ready for this adventure had really taken its toll on us all emotionally and mentally. Jason Roth had given me some advice a few weeks ago when Jake was having unusual bed wetting episodes to “weather the storm.” Jake, too, shows us every time when things are getting a little goofy energetically. Most kids do, if they are tuned in at all to the energies of their surroundings. So I felt confident this was another cue that things were growing a little intense, and big things were being felt by all.

“Time to let it go” was becoming the main theme for the week, and apparently now it was Jake’s turn. Over the course of the day he mended and so enjoyed being with us that he cried and moaned when it was time to leave. Jake is usually our gauge if a place is o.k. to hang out in, he is so sensitive to energies in his surroundings (join the club, Jake!) Being at the store, though…he was feeling better, his energy calmed down, and he didn’t want to leave. Add that to the list of signs we were receiving and it started to become very clear this is now something to seriously consider.

Our time with Joan and the wonderful healers at the store came to an end. As we said our goodbyes, I just looked at her and asked “so what now?” In her very calm, confident way she replied to the gist of “be open to receiving the answer either way and you’ll know what to do.” The connection between the two of us is so strong and when we said our goodbyes, we hugged not able to let go. The tears just came as if from nowhere and Joan whispered in my ear “welcome home.”
