When I started this blog I was really searching for something. I wanted to look for, and highlight the joy and the light in my life. After I graduated from college in 2010 I felt quite lost. I didn’t know what direction I wanted my life to go in, but I knew I didn’t want to be ordinary. I didn’t want to mold myself into the stereotypical 20 something. I wanted to do more. Learn more. See more. But I didn’t have a direction.
I spent the next 3 years trying to find what would make me happy. I looked for that mostly outside of myself. I had many amazing experiences. I went to music festivals, and travelled, and partied. I really partied. And I loved it. But you can’t live your life for those moments alone. There has to be life in the inbetween. I have spent the greater part of the last 2 years or so learning how to live in the inbetween moments. The time inbwtween what I used to see as the BIG stuff or the IMPORTANT stuff. Learning how to appreciate the present moment for what it is. To be mindful. To be loving. To be open. To do what I love whenever I possibly can. To love those around me no matter what. To appreciate my body, and take care of it. To connect to others. To embrace spirituality, and my connectedness to every one and thing and bit of energy and light around me.
I still want to live an extraordinary life. I still want to see the world. I still want to change the world. But I also want to BE HERE NOW.
I started this blog a long time ago, and never really maintained it or kept up with it or updated it, but I am hoping that this is now the time I can start to share things that are truly happy, and blissful. That I am doing because they speak to my soul, and resonate in the place in me that is greatness and love and connects me to that same place in you.
