Horizons Journal - Up And Away
Majestic - that’s the word that comes to mind.
We stand on top of Goldeck mountain 2140 m above sea-level in Austria, looking down on the Drau Valley, the small town of Spittal and Lake Millstatt; the Alps pile up beyond.
People ski all around us, they smile in anticipation of the downhill ride. With this perspective, you cannot help to be in awe of all the grandeur nature displays so generously here.
Right now, we feel like little ants on this planet.
It must have taken millions of years for the river to carve this valley on its way east, and it was only three months ago that we have arrived back in Europe after 22 years in South Africa, eager to build a new life here.
The blink of an eye.
If I think about it, most of our own ride up to this place was actually downhill so far, everything is falling into place in wonderful synchronicity. We must be doing something right - we apply and observe the Law of Attraction consciously at first hand.
If you’re interested to learn more about how the Law of Attraction and Intention Manifestation works, by the way, here is Steve Pavlina’s fascinating Interview with James Ray that I found last week - excellent reading!
This is the final stretch of phase two of our mission to re-settle in Europe : wrapping up in Cape Town was virtually complete when we flew out on 20 November, the culmination of establishing our new stomping ground in Austria is very close now.
Everything goes according to plan : the furniture we took with us from South Africa will be delivered to our new flat in Villach tomorrow and the brandnew kitchen we ordered five weeks ago gets installed on Tuesday.
Other stuff we want to live with will then arrive in bits and pieces over the next three weeks - it’s been quite intense to put our vision together and we’re pretty exhausted, but happy about the learning curve and grateful for all the friendly and helpful people we met on the way so far.
After this we’ll enter phase three, the last one, which is to establish a new social and work environment : I work as a Management Consultant in Marketing as a Copywriter/Texter and Translator in Public Relations with small and medium sized enterprises.
Recently I have received a lot of flattering comments about my work and publications so I put pen to paper and got it up on my BLUE CRANE website, this page is in English and this one in German.
If history is anything to go by, phase three of our new life will be as successful as the first two, and just as exhilarating as the top of Goldeck mountain in winter.
