"Soul Family" by Sarah - 1.19.17

Hello beautiful family,

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I have been on a steep learning curve and I feel like I’m writing to you as the most healed, happiest version of myself yet. I keep saying it’s strange how this journey here in the currency community is so interconnected to my own personal spiritual journey, but it really isn’t that strange. The meaning and the purpose of all of this becomes clearer to me every day.

So another three-day weekend has passed. This one seemed like the one, right? But oh, have I learned so many lessons over the past couple of weeks about how when something seems absolutely perfect on paper, the real truth ends up being something that makes absolutely no sense at all, and yet that’s somehow so much better in the long run, right? So here I am still surrendering to the mystery of it all, albeit with much less resistance than before. My only conclusion from the lessons I’ve been learning of late, is that I am SO not the one who gets to decide what the truth is. But when I stop trying to make things true, what actually IS true is revealed, and quickly. Kind of a relief, actually! I am here to learn, here to heal, here to discover and experience. I am not here to control anything. And oftentimes when I get pulled back into the vortex of sweet, sweet ridiculousness that is my personal life, I find myself missing you guys here at DC and refilling my tank with your wisdom, love, humor, and every now and then, raw intel. In the words of Dong Vito Corleone, “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man.” (Strap yourselves in, because the Godfather references are sooooo not over.)

Which leads me to a point I feel I should make, although I’ve made it in many ways before and so have many others. This whole GCR/RV thing and especially the DinarChronicles community have become so much more to me than just a source of information and a way to help the world. I’m not a guru, I have no intel to share, but I have been posting here because I have love to give. At first, it was more like I saw a bunch of negativity going on and I wanted to balance it out with some heartfelt and witty prose to help lift the spirits of those readers out there like me, who feel as if they are fumbling in the dark for answers and getting crapped on routinely for believing in something good. Then, it became something altogether much better. Something I wanted, something I needed, a very real connection in my life to the people out there with hearts like mine. Although I’m proud to say it’s been many 3-day weekends since I’ve touched a Dong (scattered applause, a few groans, some raised eyebrows), I have come back to DC every single day with much fervor, having developed a real need to stay present on this journey with all of you wonderful souls, to keep sharing my heart and receiving what you all share. The people here have become more important to me than the prospect of the RV at times. Which has lead me to another realization - I want to make sure we all stay connected after we exchange. I’ve been building up to this realization for a while, with all the family talk and all the hug talk and that time we thought the RV was about to pop and started planning a conference, but I’m taking it seriously now. I want us to be able to actually meet with each other, work on projects together, reminisce together, and support each other post-RV. I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to do this, but I’m thinking I’ll find some kind of large house or a property with several buildings on it, kind of like a retreat, and maintain it specifically as a place for us all to hang out, work on our humanitarian projects, and enjoy each other’s company. Yes, there will be a pool and a hot tub. Because we deserve it, y’all.

So while we wait for that 800#, that appointment, that offer we can’t refuse, that day when we ask ourselves “What have I done to deserve such generosity?” (Oh, I crack myself up…) I offer you some more of my love and my vision for a future where we not only help each other make the world a better place, but where we continue to love and support one another and have fun together and make each other laugh. You guys are getting me through this, and I am forever grateful. Don't know what I'd do without you but it certainly wouldn't be saving the world and making Dong jokes. Consider this your VIP invitation to Dong Mansion (that sounds worse than I thought it would, totally not going to call it that… I thought Dinarland Ranch too but that also gives me an icky feeling. Stay away from the puns, Sarah, just don’t go there.), and a thank you for giving me something here I never would have expected. A real community. A real connection with hearts and souls that I respect and admire and appreciate deeply. Should I say it again? A family. You guys are my soul family. We all know it, so I’m just gonna say it outright.

And with that, I leave you with this nugget that I’m pretty proud of… in the future, if you see any negativity on here, this is what you tell the haters and naysayers and even the gurus if they rub you the wrong way (hey, ain’t nobody getting past my truth-o-meter these days):

“I understand. You found paradise in Dinarland. You had a good idea, you made some good points. Anonymity protected you and there were people who praised you. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Dong Corleone, give me attention." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me "Grandfather’s Chosen One." You come into DinarChronicles on the day my currency is set to revalue and you ask me to do the sucker rate - for MY money."

- Dong Vito Corleone (played by Dinarlon Brando)

Thanks for being here, family. I really hope we are almost to the end/new beginning. Looking forward to the reunion.

Love and hugs,

Your sister Sarah
