3 months - Day 24

And we are starting all over again. A new beginning, a new earth, a new morning, a new week! Like when a child comes into the world from a mom’s womb. It is its new earth and the first impression is shocking. Monday might feel like that to a lot of people. A new earth that we are pushed into without us even choosing. Don’t worry, its ok. It’s time for new magical things to arise.

Just got done with a little yoga session. It was nice, as I was able to stretch out my legs and back which were still sore from our run on Saturday and now I am with my morning routine mate! Aaaaaaa!

The truth is that the day started slow. I was not really feeling extremely excited about getting out of bed. I was feeling like sleeping in but I got up anyway, made some breakfast and did yoga and now mate. The yoga and the mate are turning things around. Also, remembering that today is our 3 monthiversary with Elkita has created a new spark in me! Being married to this lady is pretty amazing! What a blessing! And the story of how we got to this point is pretty fun as well. Lots of ebbs and flows!

It all started in College Station, TX. First as friends. Dave, Leo, Maritza and myself took Elke camping on her first weekend in Texas. She was a little scared at first. She saw the mate and thought "Oh my God, what is that!". We took her camping because her friend Ana Elisa, which was our friend as well asked me to take her out. So we did. Patricia, Elke’s mom says it all started there, however we didn’t even know. I had already graduated at the time but I stayed in the college town a couple more years trying to understand what was the path I should take, (I am still trying to understand) and having fun with friends that I still had around.

Elke and I were friends for her first year in college, but in her second year, one evening things changed. I was always attracted to her energy and how she sparked up the place with her craziness, but this night the attraction changed. I was attracted to her entire being. That night I seduced her with poetic lines about her legs and we laughed a lot together. I was ready to kiss her but she had made a promise that she could not break.

That weekend we talked several times and we went out one more time. This time she did let me kiss her! The promise was not directed to me.

At that time I was working in Louisiana on natural gas drilling rigs and my schedule was two weeks on and two weeks off. I was so happy about what had happened between us that I was ready to ask her if I could move in the weeks that I was off. She did not have the same in mind. After my next weeks of work I came back to College Station and we went out for a burger. Here I told her that I did not foresee myself being a boss or having a boss. This did not strike the right chord in Elke. “This guy wants to be a beach bum” she said to herself, since I was also planning a trip with Dave through all the Pacific coast in a VW van. She completely stopped answering my messages after that. I was heartbroken and could not understand what was happening. She never told me until a couple of years ago.

We kept in relative touch after that. I actually did not answer her emails once she started writing back. It wasn’t on purpose. I was out of touch and a little heartbroken. But then I started answering again.

Fast forwarding to the end of 2012 when the universe was ending, Elke writes her intentions and goals for 2013 in her journal and one of them was: “Nourish deep and random relationships (Allan)”. And as you all know, the universe provides when you set your intentions, so in May of 2013 I did a surfing trip through Costa Rica with Dave and in out last day of the trip we reunited with Elke. It was magic! From there on the story just naturally unfolded. We met a couple of times, once in LA for Dominic’s wedding and once in Costa Rica where I came to visit. We also never stopped writing to each other. Actually we were writing several pages a day to each other. And in October of 2013 after Dave made the move to Costa Rica I moved too. And now Elke and I are married hehe! The engagement story is for another time. What a journey! Thanks Elkita for bringing me into your life. Thanks to the universe as well.

Three monthers!

In parenthesis, I do have a boss now. He is one of my greatest mentors and also Elke is not scared of the thought of not having or not being a boss. We are good!

I am still listening to the yoga music I was listening during my practice. I like to put on yoga music because I feel like I am floating through space just travelling through the billions of light years with complete ease.

Also, today is my friend Nico Berges’ birthday. Happy birthday my brother man. I trust the universe will bless your kind, loving heart today and always. And also, my friend Dani just had his second daughter with his wife Sara in Sweden! Congratulations Dani!!! And to everyone else, Happy Monday let this new earth be and exist.

Blessings!
