• Stated Intention •

My intention here is full expression. I am privileged with a colorful life- abundant with a wide range of emotions and experiences. Writing is my way and sharing my stories, thoughts emotions and things that have impacted my life is what brings me joy. 

My prayer is that you find the HOPE & feel the LOVE that lives inside of yourself.

I have a tender spot in my heart for young, ambitious women. So I guess a lot of the time when I'm writing, I'm writing for them. As an older sister, I am wired to try to light the way for those just behind me. 

When I started this blog many moons ago, this is who I was writing for:

Women in their 20's who want to travel the world, start their own thing and make a difference. She is curious about everything, falls in love easily and probably has a cat. She has a burning desire to follow her heart and be the best version of herself. She is a believer. It's for the women who are showing up in the world the best way they know how, but are still not fulfilled. It's for the dreamers who have lost their faith. It's for the college grads who are waking up in sheer panic thinking about what to do next. It's for the girl in the relationship that doesn't seem to fit anymore. It's for the seekers who are tired of seeking. It's for the artists who are craving to make a difference, but can't seem to muster up the courage. It's for the ones who are healing, striving and ready to live the life they were created for. It's for my sister(s).

Today, I'd like to add MOTHERS to the tippy top of the list. Since becoming a mom myself, everything is colored by motherhood. Therefore, moms will most likely relate the most to, eh, 100% of what I have to say.

I've come to believe that in the process of sharing our truths, vulnerabilities and insecurities deep healing happens (for both parties involved). I hope that is the case here.

“What is inside of your heart? Open the portal. Let’s find out.

This is a conversation that inspires it all. Journeying to the Heart. Exploring inner landscapes. Dreaming. For the past decade, that’s what I’ve been doing. Seeking and Dreaming of a life of beauty, meaning and wonder. Opening the portal to my heart in hopes to discover what the heck I am here for. I have been exploring the depths of my soul, asking questions and risking it all in the name of Love. I can’t help but to throw myself into the abyss when a desire lights the way. Following the signs and connecting the dots. I am a constellation of ideas after all. And the heart is my north star. Nature is my guide. All I know to do is to keep exploring.
