“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”

—Maya Angelou

I would move to a cabin near Mount Shasta and write novels, stories, and essays of all kinds; I would stay there for months and go on long walks up to Bunny Flats, sometimes even camping in the surrounding woods, for the heck of it, hoping to see St. Germain or a Lemurian. Seriously, I would tune in to the special energy surrounding this mystical mountain, get into the vibes and trust I am being healed.

I would take piano lessons, all the lessons I have always wanted to take and make sure I have a room with a piano by the window, and sit there and practice, day in, day out, sometimes under a full moon’s night and sometimes listening to the rain.

I would paint or rather, learn to paint —event though I am not the most talented. For the sake of understanding color, form, and light, I would travel to the most amazing places, especially the towns and cities where the master painters lived and got inspired.
