So what is this really all about? I guess that would mostly depend on each person’s unique interpretation of my writing. To me, it’s about becoming who I have always been deep down in my soul, not feeling apologetic for what I truly want in my life. This is about letting go of anything that does not serve me on my path to self-discovery and fulfillment. This is about awakening and allowing my dreams to manifest through my passions and envisioning my own destiny.
In an effort to be more specific, my awakening and the shift in my mentality from survival began around the age of 25. This is when I moved to a place appropriately named New Haven, and began living in a home that I have grown to love very much. This is the longest that I have ever lived anywhere in my life now that I think about it. In my late teens-early twenties, I managed to move 10 times within the first 7 years that I was back in Maryland; having moved to Florida when I was a young girl. Got that gypsy thing down already, don’t I? Anyways, somewhere around 25 I began to realize what I was truly capable of and started remembering all the intricate little details that combine to make up who I am. While there have been a few bumps along the road (we will discuss those another day) and reservations that have sent me down a couple detours…this shift has been a long time coming
Promises that I have made to myself in the process of becoming…I promise to not be afraid of neither success or failure, to let go of self-doubt and regret, to stop waiting until everything is perfect, to seize opportunities as they present themselves, to live in the moment and relax, to make myself a priority and love myself first, to listen to my inner voice and connect with my intuition, and to allow the passions inside of me to shine.
Still…what does it all mean? This is about committing to the things that make me happy and make me feel whole. Having faith in my ability to create a life that fills me with immense happiness and gratification by trusting the vision in my heart. I refuse, with every ounce of my being, to wait another second to live a life that doesn’t fully satisfy and inspire me. Perception is such a tricky little devil. It astonishes me how quickly things can change with just the slightest shift in the way you perceive something, someone, or even a situation. The things that once used to seem so critical and necessary, just don’t seem to have the same importance anymore. All the while, other priorities begin to surface and replace those that you have let go of.
I’m not looking for easy, I’m looking for freedom.
Not to say that the last decade of my life has not been fulfilling or silver lined with opportunities. I am humbly grateful and fortunate to have been a part of remarkable projects and have met remarkable people along the way. I’ve even developed a decent resume in the process. I can’t tell you what the future is going to look like, trusting the universe doesn’t mean your journey comes with a road map. It’s more focused on being in tune with who and where you are, while following the signs that the universe gives you as an option, and in my opinion…as an opportunity. I look at the world now as a series of opportunities…for growth, adventure, inspiration, enlightenment, delicious satisfaction, and fulfillment. It is a daily struggle, but I have found a happier existence when I let go of the need for so much control and began to look more at my inner most desires. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you direct your focus on specific goals and remind yourself daily of those goals, what you are willing to do to achieve those goals, and most importantly why you have those goals.
This is the beginning of the adventure of a lifetime! Living my passions is what I hope to look back on, share, and remember in many decades to come! Through my travels I want to bring places all over the world right to you and captivate you with the history and culture. Seeking answers, I will pursue my ancestry research to learn about my roots and heritage. Maybe one day I can even help you do the same?! Living a clean life, I will continue to explore a healthy plant-based diet, teach natural approaches to wellness through the use of essential oils, submerge myself in nature through hiking adventures, and further my practice in yoga and meditation.
As I embark on this journey that I hope to inspire and motivate everyone with, I also want you to join me! Subscribe HERE to know the second I have something new to share with you!
From my journey to yours,
BRILLIANTLY BOHEMIAN
