HAPPY HUMP DAY! :) "It's always good to have balance in your life. It stops you from falling over for a start!" - Dawn Bates

There's always one photo you love that captures that moment of joy, the sunset and the ocean... ... And a bloody fishing rod! 😄
🎣
Now I could have edited it out, if I knew how, and could be bothered to figure it out, but isn't it just reality?
Being in the moment,
A beautiful photo,
Joy on faces,
And a how many of us are fed up with everything always so polished and edited, filtered and perfect... Whatever perfect is?
We are all perfectly imperfect as my friend @wren_stephani wore across her T-shirt the other day.
One of the elements I go through with my author clients is being comfortable in their own skin, owning all of who they are,
without the need to filter themselves,
Or hide parts of themselves which makes other people uncomfortable.
We worry so much about the imperfections, we forget just how beautiful we are, how courageous we are, how inspirational we are to others, others who may not even be on our radar, but we are most certainly on theirs.
Not showing up for fear of failing, looking foolish, or even the fear of succeeding and losing friends or family, will only dim your beauty, will only make your weaker, a shadow of your former self.
So show up.
As you.
However you want to,
Because those who critique you are only critiquing themselves, because when we are happy with ourselves we have no need to be critical of others. (Rest in comments 👇)

The journey begins the moment you choose you.
The journey started long before now.
It started way back when I was sat on the beach some 32 years ago.
Way back in another life time.
This route around the world, I've already travelled, but this time I'm a solo female, away from her boys and her fur babies.
You see many will think this trip to Chile starts today,
But it started the moment I chose to trust,
The moment I chose me,
The moment I chose the dream,
The moment I waved my boys goodbye at the airport in New Zealand almost 2 years ago.
And it continued in each and every moment I chose to follow my heart and soul.
I never intended to come to Tenerife,
This island is powerful when you tap into her magic.
The power of the volcanoes,
The power of the ocean,
The energy grid lines,
The many micro climates which make each and every part of it so different to the next,
The vast cultures coming together as one to make a beautiful culture (when away from the tourist spots). You see I was supposed to sail from Tarifa or Gibraltar to the Caribbean,
But the Universe had other ideas.
And so I trusted.
I was gifted three beautiful women inside and out to join my team, making my team now five power women in their own rights. @erialskye @media.darling @linda_diggle
Five powerful women creating magic with content that moves and inspires,
Attracts abundance in each and every area of life,
And had I continued on the path I thought I needed to be on,
Instead of just trusting the process,
Of simply flowing and being guided by soul,
Of what felt right and diving deep into my soul,
Then then the growth I have had over the last 7 months wouldn't have been what they have been.
But the journey started long ago,
Longer than I can even remember... @dawneebe .

How funny that I am in the middle of the ocean and here you are reading my latest update, I wrote before setting sail. "Online business suicide taking 3 months away from land they said." BS I said.
I have a secret weapon @erialskye. I also have TRUST.
Trust that everything is going to work out beautifully, that everything will happen when it is supposed to happen.
Patience was something which escaped me for a long time, and something sailing taught me.
I mean sailing along at 5knts per hour, akin to 5.7 mph, you have to be patient. Slowing down your life & just simply being is something so many of us have lost the ability to do, rushing through life as quickly as we scroll through our newsfeeds and TV channels.
Wanting to run before I could walk was the story of my life. Watching my mum rushing from one job to another, never stopping until she fell exhausted. I learnt this is how life was meant to be.
Scared I wouldn’t get everything I wanted to get done.
Scared if we didn’t launch the latest product before others.
Scared my business would fail.
Scared of dropping all the balls.
I got so great at managing time I failed to realise that it's a waste of time.
The art of achieving as an overachiever is in mastering our time.
I became so great at planning. I became so efficient & streamlined I knew exactly what I would be doing 3 months ahead of time.
Others didn’t understand what was going on behind the scenes, they couldn’t see my bigger vision, and they didn’t understand it, but it wasn’t for them to understand, it was for me.
