Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Here I am in Truth or Consequences and boy do I 💜 the name of this town. I have been reflecting on this three months of traveling, and it has been magical, challenging and soul growing. Probably one of the hardest things I have done. I realize from listening to the untethered soul so many times, plus being a Libra, I crave the balance which life on the road can be hard to obtain. This makes me want to find my spot, which is where I want the windows to open up from heaven and give me a definite sign 🥴, and that has just not happened yet. That is okay, because I am staying open to life and the signs coming my way. I keep practicing consciousness in the way I handle obstacles that come towards me. I know the universe has my back and I am calling in the best life possible. Send all the vibes and love my way and I will do the same for you. Peace & love ✌️💕
PS- some of these Carlsbad Cavern pics are just for your enjoyment. Go see this place!
BACK ON THE ROAD
Well, I have made it to Taos and it worked out to stay with a friend for a few months to get my shit figured out and start networking. It is beautiful and the energy here is very healing and powerful. I am daily doing a guided meditation to stay grounded. Being a Libra makes it easy to stay floating in the air. Change is exciting, yet so hard to navigate through sometimes. I admire people even more that pick up and change their lives knowing that something out there is a better fit for them. I will be updating the different adventures ahead on here and make sure to follow my Facebook and Instagram pages as well @Rediscoveryourcloset 🙏🏼💜. Enjoy these pictures by the John Dunn bridge and have an amazing week to share love and kindness with others ✌️.
WHY IS DECEMBER'S FULL MOON CALLED THE COLD MOON?
December's Cold Moon gets its name from the drop in temperature during the winter months. The moon has also been known by some Europeans as the "Moon Before Yule," as a festive reference to the beginning of the Christmas season.
As I reflect on the moon and the upcoming season, I think of our ancestors. How did they operate with the moons and their cycle? It seems like there was so much reverence to earth and the seasonal signs they give us. Do we give enough reverence and acknowledgment to those cycles today? The more we connect back to earth, the more we give gratitude. Being outside of Taos, in a quaint little town called San Cristobal, has connected me back to nature and all that it can give us. How do we give thanks? We honor and connect with the signs all around us.
I will be alone for the first time this year working as a ski instructor in Red River Ski Valley. Training was not a joke and I’m so excited to use my ski skills again, even though my body is a tad bit worn out.
I am thankful for friends and family, but also okay to be alone this holiday season. Keep spreading light and love even when it gets tough and new challenges face your path. Remember this holiday season that we are here to LOVE each other not just during the holidays, but everyday.
TEACHING AND LEARNING
Well, I somehow ended up in Red River teaching ski school to kids. It has been such a growing experience - for sure. In a way, I felt like I was trying to leave Texas and here I am in a little Texas city in New Mexico. What lessons can be learned? That is the question I pose every time I am challenged in a new way. I never want to run from a situation, but grow from it. I wanted to come to the Taos area to get my hippie side going and delve into more “spiritual” work. That is not the case right now, but learning that life and that being open to the flow is the work. One does not have to always be “in the work” to change and grow. Our daily lives are the work and we put ourselves and our love out there in everyday situations to help it come together, to encourage others.
May this inspire you to get out of your comfort zone and see where life takes you. Sometimes the path you think you should be on will change and evolve. That is okay and try to go with the flow, and not force life to be the way you think it should be. Being open and flexible is the key 💜.
I will be making another move after ski season is over and look forward to where the flow of life will take me this year. I profess that 2020 will be awesome 💥!
CONFIDENCE AND LOVE
I recently passed my PSIA certification to be a Level 1 Ski Instructor - so exciting! My success here was challenging and made me really focus on gaining more confidence, improving skiing skills, endurance and humility.
The reason I wanted this certificate is to be able to teach in West Virginia next season. BIG NEWS - I am heading to Pittsburgh in April and could not be more excited! I’ve met a wonderful man named Ed, and we couldn’t be happier to share this experience together. He and I taught at the same school and feel so fortunate to have made this beautiful connection.
Ed lives in Pittsburgh and I am truly thrilled to learn a new city with such a remarkable man. Both Ed and I headed to Red River to teach. Neither of us had really made plans for this but feel like we were pulled together and intended to meet on this mountain. Sometimes, Kismet happens! Ed says he loves me just as I am, and that he has been looking for me his whole life. When someone special comes into your life unexpectedly, you should not let them go because they were probably brought into your life for a really good reason.
I will continue teaching ski school in Red River until the end of March, and then will head to Pittsburgh, with a few stops along the way. Rediscover Your Closet will get revamped in a new town which is exciting for my business too.
I’m here!
I have made it two weeks so far in Pittsburgh. It has been interesting to be in a new city with a new person all while experiencing “Shelter In Place”. All that being said, I have been able to be in nature with Ed, and the dogs, almost daily which has been wonderful. What a journey coming across the country in a pandemic!
I hope that you are able to enjoy your time at home in some way. It is a battle of the mind for me to jump from gratefulness to anxiety, so back and forth! I am going to delve into doing my own yoga today without having to be guided. Put on some music and just flow. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out and what we as humans in this world can learn from it all. Feel your emotions, but don’t get stuck in them. It is so easy to stay in a funk these days, but doing my best to work though it all.
Keep staying connected in the best ways possible for you. Social distancing does not have to mean social disconnection from everyone. Listen to your heart and do what is best for you my friends.
From my heart to yours-
Elisabeth 💜✌️
