GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour 1/2013

Right before I booked my GAdventures trip, Volcano Trail, through Central America, I had a conversation with one of my close friends, Nicole. After I shared how I was embracing where I am in my life right now, making the effort to live my life without regrets and traveling the world rather than waiting on my husband to show up, Nicole’s response was, “As you should. That’s great! Your hubby will be thoroughly impressed when he shows up.” The very next day, without hesitation, I booked my trip.

So I intentionally left behind all the comforts of my home to be out of my element, with the purpose to truly reconnect with myself on a deeper and more spiritual level, while being on this GAdventures YOLO style group tour (You Only Live Once/travelers [Continue Reading...]

Have you ever considered your sense of responsibility and if it’s working for you or against you in what you ultimately want to achieve in your life?

Being responsible is definitely essential. However, your degree of responsibility could be getting in your own way. That is of discovering who you truly are as an individual, and what you have to contribute and experience in this world. Fear of the unknown, reasons or excuses we tell ourselves or others can simply get in the way. As a result, we remain on the same path or in the same situation, without trying something new. And therefore limiting our true potential and outcomes. A case of when sense of responsibility is working against us here.

It’s a universal truth that anything extreme is not necessarily good for us. [Continue Reading...]

Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand – GAdventures Tour – 2/2012 Traveling to other countries has resulted in life changing & adventurous experiences! Learning how to better embrace being out of my element!

Commitment to learning is a mission to staying true to yourself and reconnecting with your divine self. For some people, like myself, this fiery desire of learning is just something I can’t live without, and is almost like an addiction.

Have another confession for you!

So recently, when I was feeling like I lost my creativity and wasn’t quite sure what to do about it, I was not in my best place, and went into this searching phase of trying to figure out what to do next. Then I came to realize that obsessing over this concern was just not working for me. It was actually having the opposite effect, where I was blocking the positive energy and creativity. Hello! How could I have not recognized this? It was time to shift [Continue Reading...]

Incredible views of the camp from the top of the mountain
at Club Getaway in Kent, Connecticut! What a sense of triumph from Hiking/Rock Climbing Adventure!!

Here’s to new adventures, good times, and stories to tell for years to come!!

Two weekends ago, I found myself with two of my close friends, Erica and AnneMarie, at Club Getaway getting reacquainted with our inner adult camper, adventurous selves, and lodging in rustic cabins.

On the first day, we hiked the Appalachian Trail for two hours and we conquered Caleb’s Peak and St John’s Ledge with a rainforest like experience on the way back. Steady, Safe, Strong!! This was the Self Mantra that I began to chant with my girls all the way back down the mountain trail to the bus making sure we didn’t slip off the rocks or ledges. It was definitely a fun time, with laughs, and adventures at Club Getaway even in the down pouring rain!

Had an epiphany the other day in realizing how I made it to where I am today in my life. For years, I had been attributing it to hope, determination, being insightful, analytical and resourceful. However, it became quite obvious that it goes beyond just that.

It actually comes down to implementing the special dynamic duo of Hope and Expectations. Similar, yet not quite the same meaning in this respect. Hope, or the faith that my future would be better, is what motivated me. Expectations are what I saw as actions taken based on the Hope. So it was both Hope and Expectations that I had to be successful in life that formed my ambition to create the life that I desired.

Hope and Expectation that my life would be better and [Continue Reading...]
