Jamaica Jamaica, A Forever Love

Posted on by

I am finally getting around to posting about my trip this summer to Jamaica.. Maybe nostalgia, as the fall air creeps in here on the east coast. Boot season has made its appearance.. Ahhhhh the time of sweaters, scarves, fireplaces, and hot organic tea. I love fall, but even more so, I love the feel on the sun against my skin, and JAMAICA. My trip to Jamaica was so fulfilling and more than I could ever ask for. Though time felt limited, and very busy considering the retreat group, there were without a doubt, many moments of bliss.

From the time I stepped off the plane, the air consumed me, intoxicated, it filled my lungs and said, welcome to this sweet sweet land. In almost an instant, dewy skin engrossed me, and warmness filled me. Although surrounded by many, a feeling of sweet soul euphoria took over. I was here. Jamaica. It had been years since I travelled off US soil, and it was long overdue.

Our group gathered their things.. we were finally on our way to Ms. B’s retreat spot in the mountains. As I begin to take you on this journey with me im realizing there were so many highlights to this trip and that simply typing the whole experience would 1. almost instantly be a book and 2. be just way to much to express. So hopefully throughout the rest of the year I can post on snippets of my travel experience to the Caribbean. I cut you off didnt I? Sorry.. the story was just getting on a roll haha.  I will say, it was far from touristy, and thats the way it was intended. A wholistic health retreat! The best moments for me were the little ones.. 3 in particular that I will discuss in coming posts and many other stories and experiences that personally changed my life.

I will say, I really appreciate and love my sis Mayasa. A loving, caring, amazingly intelligent doer, and dynamic visionary goddess to say the least. So many talents and multifaceted depths and levels… oh and comedian, she’s a walking professional sure to keep your mouth belting with smiles and giggles. Im so thankful for such a wonderful being and divine alignment. This trip to Jamaica all started with a simple statement, “We should go somewhere this year!” and voila.. Not only did we go, but so did 16 other individuals who had the time of their lives and she’s to thank.

First lesson? Speak, act.. watch unfold. Thoughts are important, they precede action. Good or bad. BUT… action is a physical effort that cannot emerge from thought alone. Put 2 together and the magic happens.. Yay for magic?

Well, heres a few pics to hold you over…  As you look, i’d love to know, have you travelled anywhere recently? Domestic or abroad. Where? How was it? Where would you like to go next? I’d love to know..

Kickstart Your 2014 Resolutions: A How To

Posted on by

Hey, are you a habitual New Years Resolution maker, then later, breaker? Have your good intentions not always led to good results? Well here’s a tip to get a fresh start on your goals for the new year. The #1 key is, remove the excuse. So how do we do this? Well this year you’re gonna do something different. You’re gonna break down how you can work toward your goal/s no matter how big or small on a daily basis. So if your goal is to earn more income by the end of 2014, what can you do daily? Read more? Become more proficient in your work and time? Or do you want to lose weight? Perhaps daily you can start by refining what you eat for breakfast, then move up from there. Either way, break down your daily to do’s that will aid you.

Now, you must act immediately, but the key is, whatever it is.. Start Today. Yes, today! As of December 27, 2013, you have 4 days to start lasting change in your life. When you remove the excuse of tomorrow, you are more likely to see your goal through and it symbolizes your commitment. If you aren’t mentally strong, you’ll say, i’ll wait until January 1. This same voice that always tell you tomorrow, will creep back into your life again next year. Now is all we have so Kickstart your resolution and start today, you’ll feel great, trust me. It works!!

Goals i’ve kickstarted, and some continual: my goddesshood and femininity flow freely,  financially freedom, gorgeous glowing skin, and travel just to name a few. All are active goals that I work on daily and already see the manifestations of everyday.

 

Do you have any “resolutions”? How will you be improving your life in this new year? I’d love to hear about your sure to come achievements ❤

Push Your Limits, You Are Worthy, Stop Settling!

Posted on by

A pep talk/ reminder I had with myself that I am sharing w/the world..

I had about 4 long paragraphs of a beautiful backstory to my point in this blog post but I decided to save the backstory and skip to the point, which is, YOU, WE, are worthy!

My uncle let my test drive my dream car this past weekend. It was freakishly ironic how he ordered the very car ive spent months drooling over and plotting ownership of. 100% electric (ZERO gasoline), luxury, ZERO emissions. Everything a woman like me could ever dream of.

He let me test drive it and I didnt want to push its limits lol. I guess he was tired of my cautious driving and smacked his leg as he yelled, STEP ON IT!!! …and so I did, and that was all she wrote. I will admit, it felt so great to push it 80+, it was so freeing and smooth, like driving on a cloud. I believe, if he never told me to gas it, I wouldnt have pushed it past 60. Later it made me think…

I am like that car. I am luxury, I am beautiful, and I was made equipped with everything I need to take life by the reins, to “speed”, to handle curves. So why do I ever limit myself? Whenever I see people driving super fast cars sloooooowwwwwww I always think, whats the point? I know y’all think that too, its not just me.. mmhm. That car was MADE for speed and performance yet I didnt want push it, why? and when I did, it felt like that’s what I was supposed to be doing all along. It could handle it. It loved it. Imagine going through life and never pushing your luxury car (yourself) to your full capacity. How satisfied would you truly be at the end of it all?

The thing is, limits are comfy, and sometimes we cant even perceive that it gets better. Way better. That you will be safe out of your bubble. But why wouldnt you be? You were put here on this earth with all the proper equipment to handle every bump, curve, swerve, and enjoy the ride. It feels better. Its different. Its strange. Its new. But its, so YOU. A situation will having us driving our mercedes like its a 86′ toyota. Disservice to self? I think so. So PUSH YOUR LIMITS… we are ALL truly worthy and when we things get a little comfy, push. This can apply to anything (health, fitness, wellness, any personal challenge, growth, spirituality, fears.) I pushed my uncs car pretty far, yet even then, it had so much to give. And thats another thing, pushing your limits doesnt mean you have to be completely extreme. ie. pushing so far you arent being authentic to yourself. Pushing even a little out of our comfort zones is a HUGE accomplishment. Let your boundaries grow at your pace. but let them GROW.. and it may make you squirm a little in discomfort but the end result is always beautiful. Expansion!

WE ARE WORTHY! NEVER settle! Ever!

This was my limit trigger, have you had any? Or a time when you pushed your limits and had an amazing experience? I have many more stories but I want to hear yours. Or if you don’t push your limits, why not? What are you waiting for?

Happy Sunday!
