IG: Today marks exactly 3 months in Hawaii (Molokai/Maui/Kauai)—the longest consecutive span of time that I’ve been out of Canada in my present lifetime. And today I’m taking some time to appreciate my decision to do this and be grateful for everything that aligned to make this happen. Yes, I fucking hate winter, so that was a factor in my decision to take this trip, but it’s been so much more than just escaping the cold. Travel can sometimes be used as an excuse to run, escape or distract from “real life” problems when shit gets too intense, but it hasn’t been that for me. Throughout this outward journey, I’ve been on quite the inward one, both physically and spiritually, confronting health issues, some real big personal questions and lots of emotions that have been hanging around unresolved for a long time. The Hawaiian islands, particularly Kauai, are super spiritual and healing (if you allow this and can tap into it). I’ve definitely been tapping in and trying my best to be kind and gentle with myself as I heal and grow. Emotions and feelings ebb and flow but I might actually be able to say that I feel the feeling of relaxation and even peace for the first time in a LONG time, and that is huge. Anyway, hope you’re doing whatever it is you need to do to be the best you, without guilt or that nagging little voice that likes to tell you that you need to do what everyone else is doing 😘. Cuz ya don’t, I promise. Be you, do you
