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..

Midnight Motivation: Why Me??

When something “goes wrong” give thanks, it was what was needed for YOU in that moment. There’s a greater purpose, for there are no accidents in the universe. There was a lesson that you needed to learn that may protect you from an even bigger mistake in the future. You may be humbled, or slowed down, all at your own protection. There IS a bigger picture! When you ride this thing called life out, you’ll begin to understand why, as long as you remain open. Stumbling blocks come right before a break thru to the next level, just ask supermario 🙂 So don’t ask, why do these things keep happening to me. If you stay persistent, you’ll see there’s a rainbow on the other side or perhaps something better than what you THOUGHT you wanted. We have to remember, sometimes we don’t know what were missing bc its not even on our radar. So give thanks, and once you make it over that hump, you’ll slowly start to notice the spiritual and mental muscles you built when you were going through the fire.

 

Trust. the. process! 

Much love. ❤

Motivational Monday: A Tuesday Post

Posted on by

Yesterday I went to a very special place in Maryland’s nature. I call it special because there was hardly anyone there, well, except for a few fisherman. Story, on that later. In the meantime, as the men fished, I sat on the pier and watched tiny little fish swim by. As they swam, I noticed something. A fish no longer than my pinky finger was creating ripples in the water 1-3 feet out, in all directions.

It reminded me that every action that we take, every thought, every lazy moment, like the fish, creates a ripple. We are constantly sending out signals to the universe of what we want, and what we’ll attract.

The thing about the fish though was, whether or not it wanted to have this effect was irrelevant. As a direct reaction to the action of movement, more movement (waves) were created. So a very simple reminder to self, every action I take creates ripples (responses), whether you see it or not.  You can attract more of a good thing or more of a bad thing its my choice. I choose good!! What kind of ripples will you send out today??
