Flow
I Sit writing in Bali, before sunrise, immersed in the subtle sound of crickets from the rice fields and bathed in gentle kundalini manta music.
Each story you write resonates with many on so many levels. My longest standing friend I’ve probably ever had, Nikki, wrote something I read as I woke this morning that touched me enough to write something of my own. “The opposite of depression is expression “ — that hits home with me as well.
Everything and every hardship you have been though in life will be someone’s inspiration and key toward their recovery. I often want to have millions of followers and likes, but I also really don’t want to be like those people are either. Deep down, the social crazy world has caused most (including me) to compare, be insecure, lust after things our hearts really don’t desire and at times has stollen the innocence of life.
On the other hand it’s also inspiring and educational. It’s all about what you follow. I love quotes and health/recipes on Instagram.
What is most important through a platform is to tell your story, share quotes and be the beacon of Light God made you to be. You have a Light in You and a Gift of voice.
An open journal is what I call my website. Real, honest, open and I’m not really caring who or if anyone reads it but it’s given me a space in lost times to write. Writing itself is therapy/expression. I love Nikki and her raw openness. It’s touching in so many ways and inspired me to pick up my journaling once again this morning.
To be honest, I haven’t been writing or posting. Being in Bali the past 16 months, during Covid, has definitely had its ups and downs. I’ve celebrated, cried, laughed, loved, yelled, screamed, struggled, snuggled, eaten delicious food, watched unforgettable sunsets, became a better chef, taken road trips, lived in cool places and am now raising 6 precious puppies with Dana to be adopted.
To be honest, I don’t know what life holds for me after this Bali chapter is over. Unlike so many, this year has been full of uncertainty. I’ve realized more than anything the importance of family and friend connections.
I’ve been a bit lost as well. My dad called it when I was younger, “a boat without a rudder.”
Not knowing where life is taking me is a bit of a frightening thought and in the past hasn’t brought out the best in me. Fear is negative. Hope is positive. As long as I’m creating, expressing, experiencing and loving I’m living. That is how I’m flowing though life.
I will continually remember the quote, “the opposite of depression is expression”. It’s a gem.
The unknown is also very exciting. I know the future will bring unforgettable adventures in the US once again. Photography is my biggest love and I’m excited to get back to road tripping. I’m a gypsy at heart. Seeing new things, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people is what I love. Finding a career outlet for that is another story, but God takes care of his own. I’ve never gone without and never will.
I encourage you all today to take off the blinders, stop comparing and start living day to day as the universe intended. If there is anything we’ve learned from Covid, it’s that nothing is for certain. You can’t make plans. The universe desires us to connect, mediate, pray and flow.
look up, look in, look forward, look around, look back and Just Be.
Peace, Love, Coconut
