Inspire with Tim’s Journey

We left Albuquerque and ended up at these hot springs with the intention of going to Taos, New Mexico. When we were there, we had no idea where we were going to stay. After a few hours at the hot springs, we started talking to a couple. They mentioned they came from a great place called the Abdominal Snow Mansion. They said it was hostel and healing center with a great community of people running it. We took their advice and stayed there.

The place ended up being so special. In the group photo below there was Muna, the hostel owner.  She was a very interesting person. She ended up giving me a healing session and said I was the king of stupid questions. She also said I came to earth this time around to make a big positive impact for everyone. I found out she studied under Dr ladd, who was an Ayurvedic doctor.

The only other time I went to New Mexico was when I was a very small and I went with my parents to see that same doctor. In the photo with me and the guy with the same color bandana is Ramon. Ramon was half Cherokee, and led sweat lodges at the snow mansion. He mentioned pink was his favorite color.  He told me he was a stuntman for many movies including “Django Unchained”. We attended a ceremony he led, and that was one of the most special things I have ever been to. He dedicated the sweat lodge to Matt and me. The chanting he was doing once again brought up many tears and was really moving.

Lastly, there is a picture of me, a girl and a guy. The girl is doing a headstand on my car. Tom and Amber pretty much left around the same time I left LA. They were from LA, but moving to Colorado. We had hit pretty much all the same spots on the way to Taos, as they had gone on as well. Once again, I met people on parallel journeys, the flow was present. They were really into acryo yoga, and I was able to try it out with them. The Snow Mansion was just a catalyst for amazing people. After leaving, I talked to my mom and I found out the day I had my healing treatment with Muna was the 21^st anniversary of my dad’s death. I could really sense his presence on my trip. It warmed my heart. Anyone in the Taos area has to come stay at this place, it’s magical. I have great footage with all of these amazing people that will be posted soon.

From Sedona, I went to Albuquerque, NM. The only reason I went to there was to see the Avett Brothers in concert. It turned out to be quite the lame show, but while we were there, we found out the largest hot air balloon festival in the world was going on, so we decided to stay longer and check it out.  We needed a place to stay and just drove around town and found this motel called the Hi-Way Motel. It turned out to be a roach motel. The bed was slanted, the pool was green, there were actual roaches and the clock didn’t work. What it lacked in comfort, it made up for in community. Here is a picture of me and the owner of the hotel. He was a great guy whose parents started the motel. Him and the other workers always hung out on the porch, and it was great to meet such nice people and hang out with them. I will trade comfort any day to bond with nice people.

This is a picture of Matt, the camera guy who I took on my road trip. We only met three weeks before we left. We probably spent a total of six hours together before we left, so we got to form our working relationship and friendship on the road. I knew a guy who was a great cameraman and he told me to reach out to Matt. I took a chance on him because he really had not done a lot of filming before. I liked him as a person, and I thought if I am going to spend all this time on the road with someone, I am going to first and foremost have to like the person I take.  In the limited time Matt and I spent together, we laughed a lot, that’s all it took for me to know he was the right guy for the job. Matt took a chance as well, he quit the job he had and hit the road with me. He got inspired and wanted to join me on the journey. The rest is history. You will get to meet Matt on film very soon.

That’s my happy Prius. Read more about my personal journey here.

After Jessica left, this deep vulnerability was cutting straight to my heart. My heart really opened up for her and to have her gone was extremely hard. I couldn’t stay in one place very long, I had to be on the move. I was in panic. It even drove me to think, and be convinced that the world was coming to an end. It got to a point that I raided a salvage supply center for all their supplies they had. In the midst of this entire happening, I expressed the words “I love you” to Jessica.  I was putting my heart on the line every minute; I didn’t know how much time left we had to survive. I made amends with every person I had strife with. I even had an “End of the World” party. At the end of the party, I had two former friends want to beat me up (It’s a long story). I manifested the craziness in my head to come alive in my external environment.

The day after, when I thought the world was going to be ending and it didn’t happen, a huge wave of relaxation came over me. I kind of took my mind to a breaking point. What happened after this was a deep zen-like mindset, and I had the most peaceful month of my life to follow. In the midst of all this, and taking the mentality that if I wanted to do something,, now was the time to do it. I decided I wanted to spend more time with Jessica. I decided to move out of my apartment and move to New York to give it a go with the girl that I fell in love with for the first time in my life. I left an apartment that I spent 5 years living in, and a place that I put a lot of energy designing from wallpaper to graffiti on the walls, etc.  I let it all go. Love makes you risk it all.

I also decided that I was going to film my journey to New York. I really had no plans and just wanted to document when you let go what can happen. I was riding the magic carpet ride of how I was feeling; I had love in my life, and the attitude that everything was going to work in life and on this road trip. I found a camera man and we set off leaving my life in LA to start off fresh in NY.
