Ignite your presence with heart and grace follows

In the many decisions that you make each day, big and small, would you say you allow the majority to be governed by your heart or your brain? It's a great question to ask. When I find myself frustrated, angry or wrapped up in a story that feels very personal I ask myself if I am analyzing the scenario from my heart or my mind. Rarely have I found myself stuck when I'm governed by my heart. This I cannot say for times when I am solo in the arena of the mind. Of course we need both to balance but which do you grant permission to lead the way? You see my heart is much bigger than me. It is not confined to 'I' or 'my' but lives connected to the world around me. Everything that exists through breath and nature organically from the animal kingdom, mineral kingdom and elements are a wondrous part of me and you. There is a natural rhythm that occurs in life. It's filled with grace and surprises of delight when we are willing to let our hearts pull us rather than our control hungry minds that like to complicate scenarios with fear and limitations. The heart is also protective but accepting and open. I need a million reminders to fully grant myself permission to pay heed to the heart and guess what? I get them. Heart shapes show up EVERYWHERE and always make me smile. If one shows up when I am contemplating something, it reminds me to embrace the question from the heart. It never lets me down, teaches me patience and kindness and remains the sweet spot of liberation. Trust it.

I have come to realize that the best ways to step more deeply into our lives is to step out of them as we know them. Retreats and pilgrimages offer a different lens to the same eyes, allowing us to reconnect with our wonder and spirit. Adding purpose and a deeper meaning to personal travel has been a passion of mine for over a decade. Once again, I’m very excited to invite you along.
