The Legend of the Cherokee Curse

Maybe it's true. It sure seems like it. I've lost count of all the difficult things that have happened since deciding to move to NC, not to mention what's happened since I've been here (did I mention that Allstate wants to cancel my homeowner's on the place in Seattle cuz they don't like the roof "waves;" also a rock cracked my windshield yesterday AND my payroll deductions are all screwed up so I am hundreds of dollars shorter than I expected to be, etc, etc.)

My sister & BIL's friend Michael told me that after the Cherokee were forced to move to the West side of the state by the White Man, that they put a curse on the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Asheville area saying that all newcomers would have to endure many hardships. If, after the first year - 18 months they manage to stick it out, things will improve. I need to research this a little bit.

One very positive and exciting thing has happened: I found a lovely log cabin about 10 miles from where my sister lives. It is two stories, about the double the size of my house in Seattle, surrounded by 11 acres of rolling landscape. I can see Mt. Pisgah from the yard. The downstairs floors are all flagstone & the house is surrounded by apple & cherry trees. We move in next week. I hope and pray that no danger will befall us in our efforts to move in. I plan to do some smudging and gonging to clear and sweeten the energy. I can't wait to move!
