Namaste,
Several years ago I wrote a post about feeling like I was in a waiting room. I could then and still can visualize it with amazing clarity. I was sitting in a long hallway - not scary or interesting or noteworthy in any way. In fact it was devoid of detail and without emotional content. But that sensation around the necessity of waiting is still palpable. It was not a time when I felt stuck, frozen, paralyzed or indecisive. There was nothing at all to be DONE. That was the point, and what was being asked of me was to wait. And so wait I did.
After a time, doors opened and in more ways than one, circumstances in my life changed, which led me to believe that the waiting period was over. I moved ahead anew, with clear direction. I moved ahead with purpose and excitement. And then, in more ways than one, those paths all came to dead ends.

Enjoy getting to know your teachers beyond the blue.
Essential oils in my diffuser ~ Smelling aromatherapy oils put me back in my body after a stressful day, and is a quick mood shifter when needed. It's an easy way to indulge in self-care, and they help me enjoy chores by keeping me present, so I can savor what I'm currently doing.
 Feeding friends and loved ones ~ Recently I started preparing some of my favorite plant-based and raw recipes to share with friends. It's been so rewarding to provide my friends high quality delicious/nutritious treats that fuel them doing what they love. Plus it helps me to find more "play" in the kitchen.
Traveling with locals ~ I am a low-budget traveler so staying in airbnbs is a great way to get a snapshot into what living in a place would be like. I recently attended a wedding in Macedonia and caught a glimpse of the heart and soul of the place through the eyes of the people who live there. I ate as much ajvar (an exquisitely delicious roasted red pepper spread) as I could get my hands on. It was all such an amazing experience -- I can't wait to go back.
