The Afterlife
Heyyyy! Welcome!
If I could have guessed a year ago as to where I would be today, I would not have imagined this reality for myself. I’ll soon be inevitably tunneling deep into the confines (or lack thereof) of all the things that make me buzz. For now, here’s a quick glimpse of the most important and relevant aspects of where I’ve been, and where I’m at, along with a quick bonus peak at my horizon…
How quickly can one evolve? Shall I count the ways? **phew!**
PAST: To confirm what my profile says, I am on the
tail-end of going through the process of divorce. The gist of it is that my ex and I have been growing
apart and in different directions for quite a while. The untangling has been…a lot, but I suppose that
comes with the territory. Although it’s
not a lifetime, 17 years is still a helluva long time to be with one partner. That means that EVERYTHING needs to be
sorted, from feelings to bank accounts to keepsakes to coffee cups. It’s mind bending, really and was even sometimes
hard. However, and though hard to
believe, all of it's been amicable; the end result of a relationship built on patience,
love, grace, respect, and honesty. We have
made every effort to remain friends throughout the process, and psssst! …it’s
working.
PRESENT: I am absolutely slaying my pent-up travel
goals. In the last 2 months I’ve been to
Philly twice, the Poconos, Sydenham/Kingston/Toronto Ontario, the Inner Harbor
of Baltimore, and most recently to Chicago where I spent a blissful couple of days
exploring and getting my glow on. The
biggest adjustments I’ve been experiencing in this afterlife mostly center
around me reminding myself how capable and competent I am in traversing without
having to rely on another’s help. It’s
truly weird how much you think you have forgotten, but actually haven’t!
FUTURE: In fourteen days I leave for Maui, where I’ll be studying yoga alongside about 12 other people on Laulima Farm in Hana for three weeks. To become a yoga teacher is a dream come true. This trip to Maui is the main reason I started this blog – so that my peeps could keep track of me while I’m away from home for such an extended amount of time. This transformation for me will be powerfully significant. I can feel it.
Additionally, and outside of yoga, I’ve already figured out a lot about the direction I'd like my next life to take. Since it includes all my favorite things, I can almost guarantee that it will be quirky, emotional, and as profound a love story as you’ve ever heard.

If you’re here, please know that I love and appreciate
you.
I hope you’ll stay in touch
and follow along 💓
