In 11 days, I will begin again, this time in Costa Rica.
This makes my heart leap, as I prepare to step out and live my life - for the first time ever - in a way that I have chosen. A path focused purely on letting go of what no longer serves me and chasing only that which nourishes my soul.
Life is full of possibilities.

The things I anticipate most -
A simple existence.
A world full of unknowns where even the simplest actions will feel abundant.

Time to stretch my limbs and take deep intentional breaths.
Divine rest. Lazy afternoons, swaddled in a hammock, just listening.
To finally release this existence, this mere existence, that has left me feeling stifled and cold.
To live outside the constraints of time.
To be out from under the weight of having my days filled with have-to's and should's.

A chance to see everything with new eyes.
Being completely out of my comfort zone. Forced to grow. To feel uncertain and maybe a little scared.
To meet and connect with fresh souls, others who have had experiences much different than mine. To listen to their stories and allow their lessons to become my own.
To make spontaneous decisions, based only on my heart and intuition.
A new country, a new culture. A new ground to dance upon.
Expansive spaces to run, laugh and play with child-like abandon.

To be given more precious time with my girls. To observe their innocence and curiosity.
To allow them to show me back to those parts of myself that I have lost along the way.

Space from the people I love. A chance to miss them, to appreciate their love and feel the weight of their absence.

To be present in the moment, not worrying about what tomorrow will bring.

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it...that was the miracle. -Anais Nin
