365 Inspirations—244: Leaving on a Jet Plane

"Wherever you go, go with all your heart."—Confucius

Well, we head out today for Peru and beyond!

Long, long flights ahead—Seattle to LAX, LAX to Lima, Lima to Cusco. We'll be in the air and on the ground for a good 20 hours or so!

Two of the people on our yoga/trekking retreat in Peru will have already arrived by the time we get there.

Our bags are packed, I've got my neck rest, my Peru travel guide to study on the plane and my journal.

We'll be staying in Sacred Valley for 4 nights at a beautiful house there and touring some of the nearby sights and ruins and then we'll head out on a 4 night 5 day trek to Machu Picchu. Looks like the weather is going to be good, but will run very hot in the day and down in the 30s at night!

More soon from Peru!

Have you been on a plane lately? Where did you go?

365 Inspirations—149: I'm About to Launch Off

“The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size.”—Albert Einstein

Can't explain, but lately I feel like I'm just about to launch off, but I'm still here. In another realm, I've launched. It's just taking longer for my physically reality to catch up with my metaphysical or spiritual reality. I feel expansive. I feel direction. I feel a force that I can't fully describe.

Something is moving through me. I'm ready to go, but I'm not entirely sure where that is yet nor do I know what I'll be doing once I get there. I'm moving into the unknown and I feel that's the only place to be.

My batteries are charged, it's all systems GO! I'm so excited about this next phase that is coming. I'm ready for it to take me wherever I need to go.

I'm listening.

I'm paying attention.

I'm giving myself space to be.

I am starting to get clues and pieces. Dreams are coming. I see signs everywhere and the pieces are starting to fit together.

I can tell you one thing for sure. There will most certainly be one, if not two, books coming down the pipeline in the not-so-distant future. I think you are going to like them. I already do and I haven't written them completely yet. All the material is done for one and the other is developing. It is taking shape in my subconscious and also in my waking reality. They are coming and I'm not completely sure what these new babies are going to look like, but I can't wait to see them and share them with you!

Have you ever felt a very strong force within you that has guided you to the next phase, step or direction in your life?
