Oh!

And one more thing - I did go to Greece last June/July and it was amazing! I spent the first week with my best friend, Carolina, and the last 1.5 weeks alone. Both time periods were great but the latter was quite an experience of affirmation for me. I had never traveled alone for such a period of time and it was quite empowering to own my own time and create my own experience. The last morning of my trip, I stood on the top of a cliff overlooking the rocking Mediterranean Sea. The wind whipped through my short curls and I let me arms and upper body sway, but my feet were settled firmly on those rocks. And in that moment, it was clear that my stance was a physical representation of me - balanced and grounded but free to be moved and inspired by the elements around me. When I doubt myself or my path, I remember that early morning on the cliffs of Paros, I breathe in deeply and then I open my eyes and see my immediate surroundings in a different way. Thank you Greece, thank you God, thank you life.
