I have been having the most fun of my life. I am so in love with every moment, every person, every breath. I continue to receive fathomless amounts of love from the universe. I have made some new friends, let chapters end, and new doors open. I am following my bliss,and taking every opportunity to create and use my creative energy to fulfill/live my dream. The other day I went on a lazy, hazy Sunday picnic with my good friend Molly. We packed up Lucy (my '77 VW Bus) and set out on another adventure.
~ Side note: I have (for the past year) been clinging on to an idea of how I thought my life was supposed to be. I always told myself I wouldn't close any doors, but since I was holding on to a desire so tightly, even though I didn't want to close off any opportunities, I still was. As soon as I stopped clinging onto and trying to force a desire and let go, the flood gates of all things good and fun came into my life. I had this plan for my life and I was hell bent on manifesting it, and was successful. But in the process of manifesting this one dream, I was shutting out so many other amazing things that the universe had planned for me. Talking about adventures is what made me feel the need to express this, because one of the ideas I was holding on to was that I wasn't going to find any adventure in my home town but that my adventures would start only when I was traveling. As I let go of this belief I starting discovering new people, places and passions where I would have never thought to look. I learned to let go and just follow my bliss moment to moment instead of planning and clinging onto the future. You know what they say . . . . . "With one foot in the future and one foot in the past all you are doing is pissing on the present." - Each moment is a gift that's why they call is the "present"- ;)
Anyways, we went to this huge park about 20 min away. There are open fields, a dry river bed and small hiking paths in the forest. We found a shady spot for a picnic under a tree where we shared pink juicy grapefruit, ruby red pomegranate, and fresh broccoli with wine. After getting a little buzzed....from all the beautiful sunshine.....we set out to find peacock feathers, and frolic through the lush forest. Around 4:00 the sun was casting a golden orange light through the trees which bounced off the surrounding bushes and foliage creating a beautiful wonderland of color and vibrancy. I pulled out my camera and let the magic of the moment unfold with every click of the shutter. Molly and I played, spun and laughed like little girls for what seemed like forever. After we had exhausted our ability to spin we set off further onto the trail and eventually back to the car (after stopping for a few pictures of course).I love the photos from that day, and if anything I hope they remind you of your own playful childish innocence, the sun on your face and the smile in your heart.
Light and Love,
