Patience when you have nothing.

By admin

Two things define you: Patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.

My journey feels like it has been a tumultuous one. I’ve lived back and forth in North America and Asia over the past 6 years and after many trips across the Pacific (and sometimes Atlantic), I finally feel like I can sit still.
I feel like I can appreciate the stillness of life and let whatever happen, happen. Money comes, money goes, jobs come, jobs go. I used to get so antsy about work not coming my way or projects not seeing the light of day. I used to fret so much about that stuff. But now, as long as I can look after myself, everything else seems like a bonus.
Although I have decided to be based back in Asia, specifically Kuala Lumpur, I find myself flying more and more within the ASEAN region. Thankfully they are just short little trips and I get to sleep in my own bed, in my 1000 threadcount sheets! (I’m very proud that I’ve graduated from Ikea bedsheets)
This must be a sign of growing up! But I am truly grateful to be in this position and blessed to be able to live my dreams everyday. I don’t take this for granted and I know how lucky I am.
I had someone come up to me telling me that they used to read my blog back in my old Xanga days (that really dates me) and it made me reminisce how self-centred I used to be. My 20s were really all about me, myself and I, whereas I feel my 30s is about leaving a legacy and having a positive impact with people that I meet along the way.
I believe in the power of positivity and the power of good energy. I am thankful that I can smile cheek to cheek authentically because I’m happy where I am here and now. I guess all it took was a little maturity and a lot of patience.

    I haven’t shared much of my experience at @inner I haven’t shared much of my experience at @innercamp’s Bali retreat and what it did for me as I was entering a new decade. 

Alexis and Luisa were such amazing facilitators that walked all us through workshops that gave us tools to work on the parts of us that needed to be felt. The late night talks and camaraderie about our life path and the intersection in which we participants have found each other has been nothing short of magic. 

Cuddle parties, a yoga shala of moaning, circle of love, tunnel of love, shamanic journeys and visions of past and present will be part of my core memories forever. 

It’s hard to forget those whom you’ve cried and laughed with for an entire week. I am still in awe.

    My kindred spirits since I moved to Malaysia, thos My kindred spirits since I moved to Malaysia, those who I’ve journeyed with throughout the 15 years (on/off) I’ve spent here. The memories you guys shared and the impressions of me were spot on. I’ve felt safe to reveal myself to all of you and have learnt so much from each and everyone of you through your patience, kindness and compassion. One does not grow if one does not learn. 

Thank you for allowing me to be me all these years and giving me the opportunity to send love your way in the way I know how. ❤️❤️❤️
