Hellloooo, my sweets!
Things have been weird over here as well as over there where you are, I know!
The craziness we are actually witnessing!
Yet I have to admit the unspeakable… I’ve been missing traveling SO much!
Up to a few days ago I wouldn’t even allow myself admit it. 😬
💭 As in… “People are dying Raine, there’s a world crisis, seriously you are concerned about YOUR travel limitations? Please! 🙄”
But as a good “walk the talk” kind of person that I am I had to dig in deeper beyond the surface level.
If those feelings were there, lingering around, I could not pretend they weren’t real. They were trying o tell me something.
Turns out, the sense of adventure, the new, the unexplored, the unplanned goodness that always comes in travels was truly what was missing in my day-to-day life — big time.
And here is the juicy part:
👉🏼ALLOWING myself to admit it – that yes, travelling and the adventures that come with it are **really** important to me – got me to the clarity I needed.
From that?
The ability to actually do something about it.
Meaning to find a solution to actually experience it right now, even with the travel restrictions we are on.
And so mask in hand {in face actually}, I grabbed a drink from a local coffee shop and landed in a neighborhood that I always wanted to visit and learn more about, but didn’t do for wherever reason.
✨I walked, and walked, and walked, wandering around, in complete dazzlement with every single thing I found in my way. Nature, people, buildings, anything and everything. 🤩
And then, one of those dreamy and unexpected imagination-filled places that I’ve been craving to see so much, showed up!
Look at this deliciousness:
The small details that I couldn’t ignore:
Reading the signs of the building history, the patronage, all was perfect, so juicy, and peaceful.
Even an infinite garden magically showed up! Dazzlement overload 🤩🌀🍃
Now this is the take away I want to share with you today:
Allowing ourselves to want what we want, gives us clarity to act on it.
Once we do, we CAN create the experience we are looking for, the **feelings** that come with it — of an adventure, of freedom, of curiosity on what comes next, of wandering around just because, and the dazzlement of actually finding new things — all them were there, all them possible and created right now, with this current conditions of no-travel.
Experiencing what we long for is medicine for our souls.
We must do it!
Roll up your sleeves love! Get on to it and create the experiences you’ve been longing for right now 💖 It’s doable.
Many Smooches,
