No more holding back


I did it! ✈️


In March I was sitting in an adorable thatched Italian restaurant in Tulum & my boyfriend (at the time) said he was going to spend a month or two in Tulum this coming winter.


I had been sitting there contemplating something similar so I said "I think I might spend a month here myself."


He quipped back, "Maybe we'll be here together."


I responded in a coy-fashion, "Maybe."


In that moment, hearing my response, I knew the relationship was going to end long before we'd make it back to Tulum. And a part of me was totally ok with that. . . even though another part would be devastated.


This weekend, I did it. I booked my solo month in Tulum.


The energy I felt when I booked was the same I had felt when I made my declaration in March.


No nervous excitement, just a deep knowing that this was something I was going to do.


I've always had dreams. . . things I've wanted to do & experience. But I've held back on several in the hopes that my person would be there with me. #nomore


There's no reason to wait.


I'm not getting any younger & who's to say I won't meet the most amazing person ON my trip? Or maybe we'll meet months prior & he will decide to join me for part of my excursion?


Or, who's to say this won't be the most incredible solo trip ever & I'll be so happy that I did it alone?


Point is, I trust myself to make the right decisions in the moment. I trust that whatever my experience is, is exactly what my experience is supposed to be.


Let's do this!!
