Growing Up Westsider 1950s, 1960s and Beyond

As an Architect, we often think of 'Way Finding", starting when one approaches the site we create signs to point to the emergency access, the normal access, and delivery dock. Once inside the facility, we provide directories and directional signs. In life our parents, then friends, then teachers and employers try to "point" us in the direction they what us to take.
However, we came into this life with a Plan, Mission, and a List of Lessons to be learned, but it takes us nearly a lifetime to rediscover the reasons we came here and what we intended to do while we are here.
If you want to move forward, one needs to look back, otherwise you'll forget where you came from and where you need to go. From time to time we need to conduct a Life Review.
Essential for me is a Sense of Place. A beginning point to always call home. I am and always will carry with me being a 'Westsider" (now termed the Old Colorado City Historic District). It is and was a community located within Fountain Creek Canyon (Hurricane Canyon) between the Mesa and the Mountains, was fully built-out by 1920, and at one time was self-contained. Here a sense of family and community were paramount, where neighbors knew neighbors, merchants knew the kids, a family had a "tab" at the Mom & Pop grocery store, and where honesty, civility and good manners were the norm. As Dorothy said, "There is no place like home" even when one is not at home.

The Author's process will lead you to what the universe knew the day you entered this world thorough Astrology you will learn that there is a Plan built into your Natal Chart that could guide you along your path instead of finding your Path through circumnavigation (the method we have all used to "beat the bushes" and walk a circular path about the problem of what is the meaning of life and specifically, your life.
