Jessica + Sarina hiking at Lake Louise in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mts - 8/2013

Why not live every day like its vacation? Experience the simple pleasures in life, embrace happiness in the moment! These thoughts came to me on Day One of my trip in Calgary, Alberta, while I enjoyed a delish, healthy vegan lunch (yellow split pea veggie burger with beet hemp seed green salad, veggie chips and hummus) on a balcony overlooking the distant mountains.

Here I was, on the west coast of Canada in Calgary visiting Jessica, a dear friend and roommate from my SE Asia GAdventures tour. Remember that once-in-a-lifetime trip?! If not, then check out that blog article to see how I embraced being out of my element, began taking more risks, broke free of self-imposed boundaries and was reassured that anything is possible!

Perhaps it was the way I chose [Continue Reading...]

Lake Louise, Banff National Park - Alberta, Canada trip - 8/2013

Manifesting or attracting what you desire into your life can be really simple. With only a few steps to implement you can bring desired opportunities and outcomes into your life. However, so many of us, including myself at times can get caught up in Obsessing rather than truly Manifesting. Could this be you?

Obsessive thinking doesn’t manifest what you want in your life. It actually creates anxiety and only delays the desired outcome. It keeps you from being present in the moment and from moving forward. It’s somewhat embarrassing to admit this, but I can spend hours and sometimes days obsessing over things before making a decision or taking action or refocusing and moving on. Trying to figure out the best approach. Trying to control when and how it comes [Continue Reading...]

Central America GAdventures Tour 1/2013 – Antigua, Guatemala

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) creates anxiety. This anxiety then creates inaction and lack of decisions. Allowing the anxiety about missing out or not being able to really participate in something will hold you back from living a full life, as ironic as this may seem. It will also compromise your true self.

Instead shift your focus on making decisions that really resonate with your True Self and what you need to do that’s in alignment of this. Sometimes it’s about saying “no” now, so you could potentially say “yes” to later on when the timing is right for you. Think of it as postponing rather than abandoning some true wants and desires. Think of it as shifting yourself forward with the right intentions while taking the right actions to change [Continue Reading...]

Taking Risks by Traveling to the other side of the world solo on a group tour! One way I reconnect to my authentic self and my life purpose because it gets me out of my element and facing my fears and self-limiting beliefs! SE Asia GAdventures Tour 2/2012 - Ancient Temple Cave in Laos

Get this! Sometimes there’s a big tug of war between FEAR of Failure and FEAR of Success, and ultimately you may just give in because you’re so exhausted and unsure which side to take. The REALITY is you don’t need to take either side. Unless, you want to let FEAR run your life, strip you of your sense of worth and passion for life, and then drag you into the ground and mud! That’s absolutely not for the Courageous & Remarkable one like you!

Perhaps you’re one of those people who wouldn’t know what to do if all your dreams came true – if you got everything you ever desired in your life, career, and relationships. Maybe you’re concerned about the sense of responsibility that comes with success. It feels [Continue Reading...]

Central America GAdventures Tour 12/2013 – San Juan, Costa Rica

Failure can actually be your greatest teacher, only if you allow it to be. Heartbreak. Self-Sabotage. Not Making the Sports Team. Not Getting a Call Back for a Second Audition. Below Expectations Rating on Performance Review. Missed Promotion or Opportunities. Unsuccessful Business Venture. Resistance is Failure because you are not Embracing Change. Lack of Dedication, Focus, Passion, and Commitment is also Failure. Because you are not showing up entirely to give your most powerful authentic self to those that need you to serve them.

Sometimes we have to be up against the wall or practically on our knees begging for a better way before we are ready for the next step. Though, you don’t have to get to this extreme level of frustration or disappointment to make the [Continue Reading...]
