Often I pause and think…I’d love to blog about that, but who would care to read it? I then remind myself that you beautiful readers don’t need to read it….and if you don’t like what I’m serving up, you can simply click away. And on the flip side, I’m really dumb founded when people reach out to say they’ve found an iota of inspiration…or shared it with a friend at work…or best of all, have come back for a second serving (seconds are usually dessert in my world and I think those are the best!) As I said before, I wanted you to be able to join my journey and here my friends, is the journey unfolding…beyond my wildest dreams, cause side-cracking-laughter or fetal-position-tears. This reality of mine is really somethin’ else!
Let me paint the picture….the last couple of months of 2011 I couldn’t find my underwear, let alone put an outfit together. My entire closet was shoved in the back of a car. Thank goodness for working at lululemon where quite frankly some days I’d walk in to buy an outfit to run in that night and wear it for 3days straight. I had a vitamix and a bodum, a dog and 4wheels, 2 bikes and pair of snowshoes…and an honest heart. I found a place to live that I affectionately refer to as the Camp Site; cell coverage sucks, internet access doesn’t exist, i have a few bowls + laundry; it’s not forever, just for now.
Fast forward 3months later…and as I’m about to crawl into bed on a Sunday evening, I’m wide awake in awe with the week that has passed…
I was in Santa Monica earlier this week and struck with the inspiration of LA; business plans are being drawn on the back of napkins and people from all over the world are landing with only a dream in their pocket. It vibrates on a different level here.
After 3 sweet nights in town, I had an invite to Café Gratitude’s retreat in Maui, a new bywhen to purchase a one way ticket to said destination AND proceeded to ask my cab driver to pull over to the right en route to the airport to get my nose pierced! (sooo LA! sooo not gonna impress my Dad!) By the time I landed back in Vancouver, the ground was covered in snow and the dream of moving to the land of aloha was quickly becoming my new reality.
My favorite restaurant in the wholewideworld.
Saturday evening yoga classes are my new girlfriend date nights; 10pm Chinese Reflexology dates are the new dance parties; Snowshoe Adventures with blizzards included are my rainy day prefered way to sweat. And to think all of that was a wrap in one week…bring on an Epic2012!
I remain totally committed, with no expectations, to do whatever makes my heart pound. #thisisyourlife #whatareyouwaitingfor?
too cool, you are.
