“Light precedes every transition. Whether at the end of a tunnel, through a crack in the door or the flash of an idea, it is always there, heralding a new beginning.” 
― Teresa Tsalaky
 
There’s stuff everywhere, and I have tears in my eyes from chopping onions for tomorrow’s on-the-road guacamole. My emotions are frazzled, having wrapped things up, and spent the last few days saying goodbye to people whom I have come to know and love in the past 5 months. There’s a sadness sitting next to the anticipation and excitement for where the road is taking us next.
 
I am currently in transition. Again. This in-between-spaces feeling, is a common one in the semi-nomadic lifestyle that I have chosen as a gypset, Times like these are filled with contradictory emotions: anticipation and excitement about where I’m going and what’s happening next… And a kind of sweet melancholy for what I’m about to leave behind.
 
The last few weeks (and months) have been alive with changes, energy-in-motion, and the kind of small ups and downs that only life can provide. Honestly… I’m almost on the edge of exhausted. And profoundly looking forward to slowing down, and the journey ahead.
 
WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT
I am incredibly excited to share that my blog and I have been sponsored by a independent and quirky guided tour company called LOKA, Starting early tomorrow morning, my love and I are being taken on an 11 day trip up the East Coast of Australia. We are going exploring in a way that I have never been before, and you can follow along in real time, as I take over their Instagram account. Think: kayaking through the Noosa Everglades, picnics in the National Park, cuddling koalas at Australia Zoo, an overnight stay on a cattle station compete with a rodeo (whatever that is…), ocean rafting on the Whitsundays, a night in an aboriginal camp, and swimming with whales on the Great Barrier Reef. I’ll of course share the entire experience with you, right here on the blog.
 
And then Bali. For me, my 58 days in Bali are to be a gentle, creative respite. I want to pull back a little, step away from the things that have kept me so busy lately, reassess and realign with what’s truly important, and simply be. A part of me wants make big plans, to make good use of my time there, but another part, a wiser part says “Practice the art of allowing. Trust what comes.” And that feels really good. So, that’s what’s happening.
 
COACHING BIZ PROJECTS
Speaking of transition, I can feel things shifting in my business life as well. It’s not something I can wholly explain yet, but things are changing. I feel like I’m going to be showing up and sharing my work with the world in a different way soon, and even though I don’t have any logical answers right now, I am excited to discover what unfolds.
 
I feel really inspired to do some live, in-person, 1 on 1 type half day sessions. Let’s see how that will come to be.
 
I’m also totally ecstatic about the Manifest More program that I have been working on since April. I’ve interviewed over 25 experts from around the world, who are master manifestors, and have generously shared their juiciest stories and their best how-to steps on how to manifest more money, true love, the home that you’ve dreamt of, vibrant health and beauty, a fulfilling dream job or career ,and turning your creative ideas into beautiful, tangible masterpieces. I can’t wait to share more with you soon!
 
Manifest More will be out in mid-September, but if you can’t wait that long, I’m running a free 7 day manifesting email course, starting on my birthday — August 8 — and I’d love you to join. Simply enter your email address here.
 
LOVE + LIFE
I am still deeply, madly, crazily in love with the sweet Canadian man that I met on the side of the road, 9 months ago. There is nothing that I adore more than pressing my body against his, as I fall asleep at night. My heart feels content, my soul trusts him completely, and, even when we push each others buttons, as we all do, it is always so gentle and loving. Life with him has been so good, and I am deeply grateful.
 
He’s off to Canada for a month, while I’m in Bali, where he will meet me on his way back. I am looking forward to discovering and exploring what life feels like, when I am alone again for a while. We have been inseparable since the day that we met, and while I wouldn’t have it any other way, the truth is that I actually really like myself, and enjoy my own company. Going on some solo missions, and spending time alone, is going to bring many beautiful realisations and an expansion of understanding as I review the past 12 months of my life, which have been filled with ongoing transitions.
 
Here’s to the light that precedes it.
