Maybe the journey isn´t so much about becoming anything, maybe it´s about un-becoming everything that was never really you to begin with, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place?
This is me full of presence pleasure. Thankfulness finds it´full measure in generosity of presence, both through participation and witness.
I would repeat this entire year again, every last thing, as hard and deconstructing and beautiful as it´s been, to be where I am today.
When you say yes to something, you say no to something else. How can we refine the time and priorities to create a whole life?
Letting go is hard, but holding on is hard too. If something feels off, it is. There´s a part of you that knows. Maybe you will be grateful that things didn’t work out the way you once wanted them to?
Attachment often leads to suffering. Attachment to people and things, to place and time, to ideas and desire. Attachment to expectations and relations. When you lean in, release and show up anyway and knowing that everything ends. When we stop grasping for anything outside of ourselves to fulfill us there is more room for gratitude, for freedom and love in all the unexpected ways that would never be relevant had we not let go.
Thank you 2018 for holding space – the space to showing up for each other gives us an untouchable feeling of connection, of being seen and seeing. We all have our arms full of thoughts, worries and questions. Holding space to listen and empower the other create freedom for both. I think when we share, it reminds us how powerful we are together. If you need to lay down something, let go or lift it together. Let´s root for each other and watch each other grow.
It´s almost here.
2019 we are ready for you!
People often say that they want to get off the grid. Beyond just meaning getting away from it all for a while. Sometimes we forget there´s a whole life out there. Our lives behove consumed with tasks and work, the point we let each day pass without even recognizing it.
The first big leap in the journey to the Bahamas is crossing the Gulf Stream, an ”ocean river” flowing northward at two knots or more with the greatest speeds in the center of the Stream. It is a passage not to be taken lightly by either novices or old salts. When planning the crossing the crew on Summer Wind had a number of factores to consider; wind speed, wind direction and sea state as dictated by current weather system, the optimum crossing angles, preferred departure and arrival point, the speed of the vessel, the choice of a day and night voyage. We decide to departure from Port Carnaveral in Florida and after 19 houers crossing, Summer Wind arrived the West End, Old Town on Grand Bahamas Island.
Still getting to know the sailing vessel Summer Wind. As we explore different parts of the vessel, learn the systems and trial different ways to getting things done.
Last night´s moon light in Port Canaveral, Florida.
Honor the moment and how it affect you.
