Quiet

Time for some quiet. I have been running around so quickly! San Cristobal de Las Casas, a colonial city in the chilly mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, shelters some of the most interesting people in the world. A place of contradictions. A place of drugs, hippies, wanderers, tourists, travelers, rich locals, poor locals, and the Indigenous Maya, speaking their own language, living in the mountains, maintaining self sufficiency the best way they know how in the 21st century, and the beginning of the Zapatista Revolution, a fight for Indigenous rights all across Mexico that has spread into the United States. A place with its own energy, green, tree filled country side, farms with sheep and llamma, and a very cool, calming energy that is almost stagnant, yet creating a buzzing electricity among the people who visit here. By far, one of the most interesting places I have spent time in. By far, one of the most indigenous, and by far, one of the most creative. Beautiful San Cristobal, you make me believe in hope, you help me to see the world through a lens I have never experienced before, you have created a vision in my head that I will write a book, and speak of my travels, and what they mean, and fully inspire as my purpose here is to do so.

Remembering your true self


It is actually quite funny isn´t it? We focus on our worries and fears more than we focus on our true selves. When we let go of worries, fears, judgments, hatred, anger, and jealousy, all we have left is love, purity, light, creativity and freedom. When we allow ourselves to be completely whole as spiritual beings, all the ¨wrongs¨ in life just dissipate, and we realize how free we realy are, how light we are, how flexible we can be.

I practiced yoga today on a friends balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean from Puerto Escondido. I am happy to have created my life in the dreamiest, romantic, fantastic way. I am learning everyday to let go of attachments, let go of fears, let go of anger, jealousy, and judgments so I can be a whole being for myself, for you, and for the world, fulfilling my purpose in life- to inspire for the highest and best.

Distrito Federal, La Ciudad de Mexico


I am so blessed to be here. I met my amazing friend, Michael Rivera, in Nicaragua and now I am here, staying with his amazing family in Mexico City. Today, we ate a huge breakfast, went for a run in El Bosque, the park outside their house, ate a huge lunch with pescado, mole, arroz, pan, tortillas, caldo de camarones, and then we all got into the van (about 11 of us) and went to the ferria that only happens during two weeks of every year for Easter, a popular time for Mexicans to have vacations because of Easter and Spring Break. We ate ice cream and so much more Mexican goodness. I had such an amazing time trying all kinds of foods and dancing to Mariachi.

I am so blessed to be staying here with Michael´s family. I am so appreciative for what the universe is providing for me- amazing friends, an amazing new family to share a house, food, and a lot of love with here in Mexico City.

Surfing the wave and allowing love and light into my life always. THANKS YOU UNIVERSE!!!! =)
