It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written. It’s been a while since I have felt like I had something meaningful to say. There’s been a lot going on in my life. I’ve been swimming in an abundance of everything; travel, love, laughter, dancing, music, food, silliness, exploration, snuggles, cuddles…. Literally all of the most amazing things in life. And then, on Saturday January 7th – I set off on what is undoubtedly going to be my biggest adventure of this lifetime; solo travel through Southeast Asia with no real plan, no itinerary, no agenda, no timeline and no return flight back to the USA. I’m finally living untethered and let me tell you, it’s fucking magical.

Here I am, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, after jet lag forced my body and mind awake at yet another ungodly hour of 3:45am. (For the record it’s now 6:00am as I write). I’ve had quite the adventure here so far. This is truly a spectacular country. But what I want to write about right now is this door that I found yesterday (pictured above).

To set the tone for this discovery, I will explain that I left my condo with no plan of where I was walking. Just went where the wind was taking me and enjoying the sights, sounds and smells along the way. I was about 4 miles of trekking around the city, when I wandered down this myriad side street and stumbled across this door. The property behind it was surrounded by a tall fence. There wasn’t any signage. Whatever it was….it was meant to be imagined, and not explored. As I stood out front of this door, in awe, looking at the intricate carvings, I felt an immense sense of calm wash over me. A feeling of knowing. As if I was standing in front of the door to my own path. What is ahead is unknown, but I know it’s beautiful and full of magic. I’m not scared as I prepare to enter. I’m tranquil. Confident. Intentional. I’ve spent 36 years of my life preparing to be standing in front of this door, MY DOOR. I have within me everything I need once I am inside. I’m free to enter – I have nothing holding me back. I’m fearless. I’m grateful. I AM READY.
