The day was fast approaching for me to leave to Italy….and all I thought I’d feel was excitement and anticipation.
But in reality, I hit a wall of tremendous sadness, fear, and grief. Two days before my trip, I felt tears well up and out of me.
What was happening to me? Why couldn’t I feel the happiness I so readily assumed would come with this trip that I had dreamt of for years and years? Why on earth would I be so sad?
Turns out, I was normal.
Which is why I wanted to make this video for you as I begin to share my Italy adventure. Chances are, you might be building towards something you have also longed to have become a reality in your life.
A new relationship.
Marriage.
Beginning a new career.
Moving to a new city.
Going on an adventure.
And while these positive changes and new beginnings move you closer to the life you have been aching to create, the reality is you are leaving something precious behind as you move forward. You are shedding old skin, old ways of being. There’s a tenderness to that.
I invite you to take a look at this short video today that I shot just minutes before I headed to the airport to officially begin this soul calling Italy adventure.
I think there are some big takeaways that you can find useful when you’re realizing a dream and/or finding that your current feelings don’t match your expectations.
Just as we must metabolize our actual physical food, we must become skilled in how to metabolize our emotions and our “spiritual food”.
Note: This video/post was meant to come to you 2 weeks ago, from the airport, but it wouldn’t load.:( Better late than never!!!
More insights to come!
As always, sending all my love,
Anita
