I was putting off this trip for over a year.
I worried about the safety of traveling by myself, how reliable WiFi would be for work, considering if it’s even a good idea… all valid! And alsooooo glad I didn’t talk myself out of it.
Guatemala, you’ve opened my heart, deepened my trust and defined my edges. You have a poetic nature that reminds me just how free I can be.
Investing into the vision that’s on my heart- even if vulnerable and edgy- brings vibrancy into my world. 10x fold. Every. Time.
Bless these waters and the land that I got to explore. It really is a privallage to be able to intimately experience the world. 🇬🇹🎒🪽🫶🏼
For anyone considering solo travel, I’ll be your voice of reason: You can do it, do your research and you’ll be fine, you’ll figure out WiFi when you need it, you won’t be alone the whole time, just book the one way ticket and finalize the return when you’re there. Take the leap. Trust your gut. Pay attention. You choose your journey. Bring the energy back home with you. 🪶
My dear one, you deserve joy.
Rich, deep, tear-filled joy.
Stress won’t lead you where I’m guiding you.
Neither will control.
Sweet surrender.
Source me, my beloved.
Lean on me.
Let me hold you.
I want you to feel contained and free…
Adversity’s grit and grip holds honesty and certainty.
I love you completely.

Lean into it… Life wants you to experience joy. The juice of it. She’s nudging you forward, softening veils that cloud judgement. She’s opening every window in the home of your Heart so the autumn breeze can finally rush in. Creating space in the cobwebbed corners, proclaiming “this too, is worthy of love.” Humming melodies that inspire sacred responsibility. Sharing glimpses into joy, sourced from the most mundane. Leaning into a greater love will take you greater places. For the betterment of all beings, we need your joy.

Loving myself completely… hmm. Yeah. We can build something substantial from there.

Love feeds in the same pond where fear festers
Whimpering, “give it all to me”
Hypnotic rhythm
Intertwined palms
Growing curiosity
Slithering between the space of sound
Biting my own cheek, swallowing my own grief
I taste it through my feet
New muscles flexed and sore
Devastation can’t be ignored
Still, I love you with all my heart & more
Being alive is a gift
The gift is a privilege
Privilege pairs with responsibility
Grounding on the shores. Falling into Love’s embrace. Again and again. Life is a gift. Thanks for holding me @envisionfestival ! Pura Vida 🪭🧜♀️🌊🔊🥥🍄

✨ Magical Moments in Big Sur ✨
Exploring waterfalls, unexpected California Poppy flowers, cooking dinner in the school bus
Slowing down, seeing dolphins play in the waves, dancing on the beach in the golden sunset, finding banana slugs
Surfing an empty beach, taking portraits, soaking up grand vistas, hugging a tree
so many sweet moments on this short weekend adventure - a chance to spend quality time with my friend @hannahbeing - a chance to ground down into nature 🌲
SO GRATEFUL to live within driving distance to so many stunning landscapes that continue to inspire me again and again 🙏

2016. Nineteen, Tampa grown & rooted. Hair down to my waist, bringing Eckart Tolle books to the gym and exploring edges of my self expression. An intuitive told me to read the Artist Way Workbook and I started to journal …everyday… to see what would happen. Started binging personal development lol. Exposed to new states of consciousness and philosophies. Sleep walking. Mending tender heart. Confronting mental loops. Macro counting. Visiting California for the first time. Leaning into new mediums. Watching my mind, questioning, learning how to be on my own team. “It’s more important to be different than to be good.” Be yourself. Dream big. ♾️🍓
