I began this journey on the spring equinox and suddenly it’s 6 months later.
I’m currently in Scotland which is a place I didn’t know I’d traverse when I first envisioned this quest.
A quest ~ it has truly been a quest.
Within and without. Showing me all of my limits and the strength within to break beyond them.
6 months and I’m new. And old.
Connected to my raw essence that was smoldering underneath all the lawyers.
Like molten lava waiting for its time to emerge.
It feels like just overnight I’ve faced so many fears that I can barely even describe them anymore.
It’s like they evaporated into steam as soon as the lava met the water.
Traveling alone as a woman… reconnecting to my roots… it’s the most courageous thing I’ve done.
And before this, I wouldn’t have so boldly claimed my courage, but I feel it now.
And it’s helped that every single person I’ve met has reflected that back to me.
& Maybe that’s because I’m now the biggest spokesperson for solo travel- especially for women. 🤷♀️
I tell every woman I meet to do it!
Just a few days ago I met a kindred spirit and just may have inspired her to continue with her travels and to feed those desires.
Throughout this journey, I’ve met so many women who tell me they’re afraid to even eat a meal alone at a restaurant.
And all I want to do is shake them and shout with a bleeding heart, “Wake up, sister! It’s time to LIVE!”
This is the time to set your heart ablaze and show it to the world. Women are dying for these rights so we NEED to be fearless in our pursuits for liberation.
In the face of death, be brave!
That type of courage changes things.
Even in the face of deep pain and injustice, fear is still just a liar trying to keep us small.
And staying small and quiet is how we never get free.
6 months has shown me, it’s all possible. It’s all figureoutable.
Whatever dream you have, whatever is nudging you, it can be done.
And when you pursue these things, time bends.
6 months can completely change your life.
This journey I’m on is a dedication to all the women who have come before me and to all the women now fighting to the death to be free.
It’s an offering of love to the land.
It’s a daily prayer of gratitude.
It’s an act of devotion… dedicated to our birthright to fully live.
What is your dream?
I love you.

"Even in the face of deep pain and injustice, fear is still just a liar trying to keep us small.
And staying small and quiet is how we never get free."
These profound words filled my heart with joy while continuing to face the lie.
My hope is many women read these words.
