Parting Thoughts From Bali

As I ride in the cab to the airport:

In the last couple days everyone has asked me if I'm sad to be leaving to go home.

Honestly, Bali has been magical on more levels than I can comprehend right now, and I could easily stay a few more days, maybe a week - max. Because the thing is, I have so much to go home to. The whole reason for coming wasn't to “get away” from anything or go on a vacation from my life. It was to sharpen my tools, add to my toolbox, and then come home to share it all. I love being in Toronto, I love the women (and men) I'm connecting and building community with, and I love what I am creating for the collective.

I think it's the first time in my life that I truly feel this way as I go back to Toronto after an adventure. It's the first time that I already have employment in place (aka my yoga classes. PS I'm starting at two new studios! Keep an eye out for the official announcements on where to find me). It's the first time that have any clue what the next steps are in terms of moving forward with my business. And it's the first time I can authentically say I have a business!

How, you ask? All of it has come from listening to my heart. All of it has come from being surrounded and held by sisterhood. All of it has come from recognizing that I have a purpose in this life to be in service to a greater cause, and my commitment to embodying that. This commitment is what's kept me going at low times, when I've felt totally alone, when I've felt empty, and when I've felt overwhelmed. This commitment to embodying my highest self has seen me through everything, reminding me that I am always supported and connected to all things.

If there is one piece of wisdom I can share - it's that everyone has a reason for being here, and we are not meant to do it alone.

So, am I sad to be leaving? No, not sad at all. It's bitter sweet to be parting ways with some of the people I've met here, and I so hope to see them again one day. But it feels really good to be coming home. Thank you for feeling like home, Toronto. See you soon.
