Firewalking and RVing- 2010

How are firewalking and RVing related? Both are stepping out into the unknown and trusting yourself.

Last night I walked on coals that were 1200 degrees Fahrenheit or more. My feet got black from soot but I did not get burned. Firefighters know that at 450 degrees it takes a fraction of a second to get a severe burn. Yet 40-plus people walked on these 1200 degree coals and no one was burned. How can that be? We were not hypnotized. Instead we focused intently on where we wanted to go - and we also had the knowledge that more than 25,000 people throughout history have done this before us. We also broke arrows and bent rebar with our throats and walked on broken glass. This Manifestation and Firewalk Seminar, put on by Marvin Allen of Phoenix Transformational Services of Las Cruces, NM, was about making the impossible possible. In other words, we limit ourselves by our beliefs. If we push through our fears, we can do things we thought were impossible. We open up our world.

Is stepping out into the unknown in an RV any different? We can let fears hold us back. If we push through our fears, we can live a life that is full of amazing adventures. We become new people, confident of our abilities because we tested them and succeeded. We could do it all along; we just let fears and doubts hold us back.

Back in 1992 when my late husband, Bill, and I took off in our RV we were apprehensive. We had to earn a living on the road and weren't sure if we could do that. We focused on finding jobs with the National Park Service and worked at seven national parks over the next ten years. We more than survived. We had amazing adventures and experiences. It was one of those decisions that changed our lives and put us on a different course.

You don't have to be rich to live the RV lifestyle. You can earn money. And, there are many free and low-cost things you can do. Walk, hike, bike on public lands is one. Many museums are low-cost or free. Visit state capitals, join local clubs for their meetings and activities. Attend church services where you travel- perhaps stay awhile and become more involved. Taking photos and exploring the history of an area are fascinating. Visit our national parks and forests; an annual America the Beautiful Pass makes each visit low-cost, or nearly free if you have an America Senior or Access Pass. The free programs available are excellent.

How about you? Is this your year or decade to begin the RV lifestyle? I promise you will have adventures and experiences you never would have in your stix 'n brix life. Many people have led the way. It is possible, if that's what you want. Set your intention, focus and go for it! Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
