Follow Your Heart

It’s about time for me to say aloha to my beautiful Hawaii & go off to my next destination

Yesterday I made a big decision to leave and go visit my family for a few months on the east coast, before my next big move

I have lived very far away from my family for the last 5 years (Hawaii several times, California several times, Bali, Australia…)

But honestly since the summer I have really been missing my family & struggling being 6,000 miles away from them during this pandemic

Especially being on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean lol, as much as I love it here it can be a mind fuck to be so far away

My friend always says it’s the best & worst thing about being here, and I definitely agree

Although the pandemic has given all of us so many blessings because of the mass awakening we’ve all had, the clarity we’ve gotten, the time it’s given us to really focus on what’s important….

This shit has been fucking hard for me lately because I am used to traveling several times a year with my best friends and having a lot more freedom

Hawaii has had strict rules with quarantine and leaving the island and coming back (which is good), but it has made my soul feel suffocated

For my own mental health I know it’s time for me to leave, so that I can be close to my family & some of my other friends

So many people think that just because I live in paradise & have lived in some of the most beautiful places on this planet, it means that I am automatically happy

And while that is the case a lot of the time, I know for sure that living in paradise doesn’t instantly cure all of your shit

I have been healing a lot of dark stuff that I’ve gone through over the last few years, so being close to family & other friends is just what my heart needs now for more healing

I am so grateful for this beautiful island & all the healing it’s provided me

I also found a second ohana (family in Hawaiian) while living here this time, the first time I’d had roommates in 10 years

And am so glad that the Universe divinely orchestrated it this way so that I wasn’t living here by myself during this pandemic

The Universe always knows what it’s doing way more then we do, even when stuff doesn’t work out exactly how we want it to

So the point of all this, other than me just wanting to share with you:
1. Follow your fucking heart because life is short

2. When it gets hard, use this time to really clarify what is most important to you in life

3. Know that the Universe is always working in your favor, even when it doesn’t feel like it

And lastly, I am just a girl from a small town in South Carolina, so if I can create this life ANYONE can!

Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone & go after your dreams

It was terrifying all of the times I moved, quitting my corporate job almost 8 years ago, starting two businesses, & I could keep going

But all of it was SO FUCKING worth it rather than staying stuck & comfortable

Rant over, love you all, let me know below if you needed to hear this today!

And let me know how you’re managing during this pandemic!

I am here for you!!!

Love you SOOOO much!!!

XOXO
