One of My Favorite Places

I just returned from my home in Sedona, Arizona, one of my favorite places to visit.  Sedona, is not only beautiful and unusual in its landscape, but it is filled with special energies from the vortexes or intersections of natural electromagnetic earth energy, also known as ley lines. Earth's ley lines can intersect in different ways, creating different types of energy vortexes.  The three most common are magnetic (feminine or yin energy), electrical (masculine or yang energy) and balanced (a mixture of electrical and magnetic, both yin and yang).  It suffices to say that their presence infuses the Sedona area with a special feeling which can also be found in other places around the world such as in Peru, India and Australia, and others which share the same energies from the earth. To some this may sound hokey, but there is a lot of scientific proof to these vortexes of magnetic energy across our planet. Usually they are found near volcanoes, monolithic rock formations, and the poles, places where the Earth’s ley lines or magnetic lines are found to criss cross or gather their energy. Sedona certainly qualifies with its giant red monolithic rocks.  More information about these vortexes and the special places where they can be found is on the Internet.  Enjoy looking them up and perhaps visiting them.

What I particularly love about Sedona is the quiet and peaceful atmosphere and friendly people that I find there.  People seem to come to Sedona for a variety of reasons, sightseeing and relaxation to "get away"; hiking and biking and other forms of outdoor recreation, spiritual renewal or spiritual searching and the arts, whether to buy or just to enjoy.  No one seems to be going anywhere in any great hurry and all seem to have time to give you a happy smile and a warm hello.  I wish that everyone was like the happy folks of Sedona, Arizona.  The late Senator John McCain lived in the peaceful countryside outside of Sedona and I can understand why it was so beloved by him.

Lest you think that Sedona is just for adults, that is not the case.  There are parks throughout, the beautiful Oak Creek to wade and swim in and two nearby wildlife parks complete with petting zoos to enjoy.  The Grand Canyon is just up the road and Williams, Arizona on it's rim is home to the Grand Canyon Railroad and wild west shows for the kids.  We took my grandchildren there and they loved the adventure.  So there is something for everyone.  Sedona is in the heart of the Northern Arizona "play land".

​The landscape varies from arid desert, to rolling prairies to highland forests and, at approximately 4500' elevation, the climate is temperate throughout the year.  It does have four seasons however, although none extreme.  It is a place that is, or should be on everyone's bucket list and I invite you to come visit.

Beautiful, Fun Train  Rides

I haven't written in a while because I have been traveling. Two of the trips that I have enjoyed the most this summer and fall have been train trips, one up the coast of California and Oregon and on to Seattle earlier this summer and the latest through the magnificent Canadian Rockies of Alberta and British Columbia this fall.  

For the trip to Canada, we flew into Calgary and then we drove  to Banff and on up to Jasper where we boarded the two day train through the Rockies to Vancouver. I live by the coast of our beautiful country in the United States but I must admit I am a mountain person in my heart.  I grew up in the mountains of Tennessee and am alway drawn to the beauty and majesty of the mountains. And I love train travel...I feel that I get a closer view of what I am passing in a more relaxed state - not fighting the traffic or roadways that are getting more congested every day. As an environmentalist, I wish that we utilized train travel more. Worldwide, road vehicles account for about 71% of transport CO2 emissions, with railway users making up less than 1.8%, compared to 12.3% for aviation and 14.3% for shipping.... And trains are fun!

On our Canadian trip, we were on a scenic, double deck train where we were treated to panoramic views through the glass domed cars.  I am not sure how they do it but, on both of my train trips we were treated to the best food and service imaginable. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy the trip.  It was a marvelous adventure and I highly recommend it.
