It’s been 2 months since we returned from our crazy epic adventure. I’d like to apologies for literally dropping off the radar; life, loving and reconnecting was my priority, focus and desire.
So here is my wrap up post. I quite literally don’t know where to start with this. It’s not a list of the epic places we’ve been or the incredible sites we’ve seen, instead I’d like to highlight and remember the feelings, thoughts and emotions that have flooded and filled my head, heart and soul, as I get back to "normal".
Connections to people and myself are the biggest and most impactful reflection. Significant connections have suffered and are now being healthily repaired, through vulnerable, open and honest conversations. I’ve come to the realisation that my perceived “strong” character traits of determination, focus and pride don’t always have the outer ripples that I imagined. I have a tendency to concentrate on the centre of the circle rather than the ripples that radiate, this is something that I am working on.
Every experience, good and bad, gives an opportunity to learn. That can feel in total contrast to the emotions of the experience at the time.
Comfort is both my biggest desire and my worst enemy.
Discomfort brings growth, new knowledge, conquering fears, over coming limiting beliefs and experiences beyond my dreams. It also brings fragility, exhaustion, uncertainty, confusion and aches in my body.
Getting back into my new normal has been harder than it was to go away. I've changed in ways that aren't visible, and that I haven't acknowledged or learned to accept.
I'd fallen back into all habits - namely doing too much for people who aren't my priority (to earn money) - but I am proud to say that I caught myself before I was in too deep.
Enough really is enough and I must remember this.
I am now taking and making the time to do things that I deeply enjoy - helping Mum, connecting with my girls, seeing old friends and making new ones. I have the time, space, energy and desire to discover my soul in a place that is my home. This is something that I never thought would be possible.
I am learning to create and embrace the adventure at home.
It's only been in the last week, that I have been able to look back at all our pictures. Prior to this week looking at them made me feel sad that I'd left that version of me behind. But now I know that it's all a version of me, and just because I felt unstable and unsure of my place in this world. There is space for all of me.
You will see the occasional post on here, probably with other "travel" content; updates of projects that we actually start (rather than all the random and crazy ideas that flood my brain on a regular basis); some thought provoking deep and meaningful learnings and maybe even some throw back stuff, as a reminder of how we grow, evolve and keep living our best lives.
Cheers to
Being slow
Loving more
Embracing life in all it's glory
Saying yes and
Saying no
Being brave
Comfort and
Discomfort
And thank you for being on the journey with us, I miss talking with you all every day
