The Journey Begins . . .

So June 21st 2012 is finally here. After a hectic three months of planning, working insane hours and sacrificing buying anything pretty, sparkly or impractical - the day is finally here!!! After an emotional few days of goodbye parties, dinners and finally saying goodbye to my sobbing mother at the terminal I am now sitting, with a nice cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc in hand, waiting to board the plane for my international adventures. What will be in store for me when I arrive? I have a million wild ideas , dreams and goals that I hope to make a reality. 

The last few weeks I have been blown away with gratitude by the amazing people who have been brought into my life. It is just amazing the people who you will encounter along your path. I am so grateful for the love, support, and learning experiences I have been given by all of these amazing people. It excites me to think who I could meet in the weeks and months to come. There is undoubtably another bunch of amazing individuals who will cross my path and the learning and growth I will experience will be worth the emotional roller coaster of the past few months. There is a vast array of emotion that has continued to grow as the date looms closer. There is the absolute excitement and joy of reaching my long awaited goal of travel. I know in my heart that it is the right decision and the experiences I will have will so be worth it. But there is such a deep sadness leaving the amazing people whom I have spent the last few years getting to know and who have become like family to me. I am extremely blessed to have so many people who I love and consider to be very close with. It is a huge blessing - but also a curse as it breaks my heart to leave them. But as my previous post states - get out of your comfort zone!! So I am going to suck it up and force myself on the plane ( failing that, the wine is extremely soothing and a great travel companion)

An amazing piece of advice was given to me by one of my amazing friends over coffee tow nights before I left. She told me to move forward in life with blind faith. What an amazing piece of advice, as the times in my life where all I have had is the opportunity to exercise my blind faith is where I have achieved the most in the fastest amount of time. It was the reminder I needed that everything will be alright and that when you are in the natural flow of the universe everything will fall into place. Why expend much needed energy in worry and fear when you could use this energy to solve the obsticals in your path and create a life of your dreams? With blind faith I managed to save the goal amount in mind for my travels. The money came to me in many weird and unimaginable ways and I am so grateful for the confirmation of this practice. With blind faith the resources, people and circumstances will all align and come to you at the precise time when you need them.

So in conclusion, the state of mind that I begin this new journey of my life is to move forward in blind faith, knowing that I can handle any obstical that may cross my path. This eliminates fear and leaves room for creative energies to flow. It opens me up to enjoy every single moment and enjoy each new situation. Whether it be a delayed flight in which I get to enjoy a great conversation with a stranger, or if it is taking the time to enjoy a new city - faith is the corner stone for my amazing trip!

Live, Love and Laugh - ALWAYS xx
