...my journey from Arizona to Zimbabwe and beyond
A2Z Traveling Roadshow
MY CONCLUSIONS FROM THIS JOURNEY TO ZIMBABWE...
The purpose of this journey was to recapture the inner peace, serenity, mindfulness and wholeness that I deeply and gratefully discovered in the bush of Africa just more than one year ago. Sometimes we must fall to stand. Sometimes we must run to slow down. Sometimes we must step out of our comfort zone to unravel what already lies beneath. Sometimes we need solitude to find each other. Sometimes we must explore to find ourselves. Sometimes we must disconnect to feel connected. Sometimes we must give back to receive. Sometimes we must experience emptiness to feel complete. Sometimes we must dream to discover. Sometimes we must adventure to know where we belong.
I've undergone five significant years of metamorphous. I've suffered, I've elated, I've cried so hard that I've felt paralyzed, I've laughed so hard that I've cried, I've struggled, I've succeeded, I've been shamed, I've been proud, I've been disrespected, I've been respected, I've disrespected, I've respected, I've hated, I've loved, I've been lost, I've been found, I've fallen, I've stood strong, I've dreamed, I've focused, I've retracted, I've traveled, I've worked hard, and I've played hard. This is my journey and I've applied all I have learned along the way.
I'm shedding my walls. I'm conquering my fears. I'm taking chances. I'm following my instincts. I'm walking away. I'm opening new doors. I'm accepting. I'm trusting. I'm setting new goals. I'm finding balance. I'm finding myself. I'm loving myself and all I have to offer. I'm loving others. I'm connecting. I'm visualizing. I'm eternally thankful. I'm reflecting on the past and allowing for the future while living in the present. I'm finding peace within. I'm setting boundaries. I'm respecting others and myself. I'm smiling. I'm dancing. I'm laughing. I'm relaxing. I'm giving. I'm ready to receive. I'm embracing all this life has to offer.
I'm letting go of judgment. I'm letting go of cynicism. I'm letting go of perfectionism. I'm letting go of materialism. I'm letting go of obsessions. I'm letting go of compulsions. I'm letting go of fear. I'm letting go of expectations. I am letting go of that which I cannot control.
I'm worth it. I've earned it. I'm celebrating. I've found love and I'm going to feed it. I live with peace in my heart. I live with no regrets, ever.
...IT IS TIME TO BOARD MY FLIGHT BACK TO ARIZONA, WHERE THE NEXT JOURNEY SHALL BEGIN YET AGAIN....
