“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

 

 

I encourage you to do what Anais Nin says, go out and travel to seek your soul. We live in fear, constantly, because we are afraid of the unknown. We as strong, free, independent women need to stop holding ourselves back. We have the access to resources and the intelligence to step away from what we know, and walk confidently into the unknown. We as women hold the power to heal souls and love those who so desperately need to be loved.

Grab a map and close your eyes, point to any destination you feel and travel there (that place below your fingertips). Do not allow yourself another second of thought and pack your bags. Let go of that fear you’ve been holding, and walk into the world for the first time truly on your own. Taking this leap will better you not only physically, but mentally. You have only a certain number of seconds on this earth, and I encourage you to make them count. Go out into the world and seek adventure, take your life into your own hands and find happiness in the beauty that surrounds you. Stretch beyond your horizons and truly fall in love with other cultures and languages, find comfort in your surroundings and share your passions.           

What’s holding you back? It’s time to start your journey.  If you have any questions, or just need help finding where your journey should take you next, feel free to contact me.
