Year 33: Another Beginning

On April 10, 2023 I turned 33 and spent my first birthday completely alone. It was incredible. I cashed in my Getaway House night and headed to Brown County, IN for a night under the stars. I arrived around 3pm after a slow morning full of coffee from one of my favorite Indianapolis coffee spots and a breakfast sandwich from another. I even found a playground to play at for awhile before making the one hour drive south. It was truly a perfect day. 
I had everything that I needed and when I arrived I sat in the sunshine and began my time of reflection over the past years of my life followed by my time of intention setting for the years to come. This birthday felt different for me than every before. Yes, it was the first birthday I celebrated alone, but that felt completely correct and right. I just feel more awake than ever before and that makes every experience more beautifully intense. Every emotion that found me sat with me for the time it needed before the next one came to visit. I suppose there are just some experiences that can't be fully explained...

Compassion, blessings, inspiration, honesty, discipline, bravery, courage...and a deep belief that all things are possible is what solitude and restoration gifted to me on my birthday. 

I have now returned home and am back in my work flow. I am on the home stretch of finishing out my current 21 day challenge for myself: 

So far I have stuck to it really well. The only struggles I have had is the sleep and rising time because if you don't know, I am just not a morning person! But, it's called a challenge for a reason and I am going to keep leaning into several of these even beyond the challenge end date. 
I also added in a social media cleanse that is beginning today (April 12, 2023) and will run for the next three weeks until May 3, 2023. I have been feeling the call and pull to go inward; tune out in order to tune in, and I am deeply excited for the days ahead. There's always adventure awaiting each of us. I will be using this space to share mine with you. 

UPCOMING:
April 17, 2023 I am headed to the Dallas/Forth Worth area for some healing, restoration and creation. I will be housed by my dear friend Sana and I am so excited for the work that we will do together. I will be participating in some ceremonies (that I will share more on later) and leaning deeper into my creative practices. I won't necessarily be packing light for this trip as I am bringing along several of my jewelry supplies, but other than that I will be mindful of what I bring because I truly believe that everything I need is already waiting for me. 
After my time in Dallas/Forth Worth I will he headed to Houston for a few days before eventually making my return trip home. I have yet to buy my return ticket, so the adventure truly awaits! I will be recording my adventures through writing and photography and look forward to sharing my experiences with you all here. 

We begin again and again. Here's to more beauty unfolding and a deeper becoming and knowledge of self...

Talk soon,
