the space

What do I want to do with the rest of my life?

we all know this question, we've all heard it and we continue to ask each other, ALL THE TIME.

so what are your plans after this?

after this.

this?

THIS is all we have mi gente

the present moment

the here, the now, el aqui, el ahora

I plan to LIVE the rest of my life

but, let's hear it, for real for real...

What do I feel inspired to explore more deeply at this point in my life?

side note, real quick:

Enrique Iglesias...

yes ENRIQUE

he came out with a new song

with Miranda Lambert (a while ago now)

my latina raised in alabama heart was warmed

They talk about having a space in their heart for someone or something

it is super sweet and cheesy claro

but my point is, we all have space in our hearts for that which hasn't arrived yet

our hearts are expansive

and our hearts know who and what and where is good for them

and thats a sacred space

that doesn't have to be explained to anyone and the one exploring it and experiencing it is you and only YOU.

as I think back on my summer break (Janaury and February in the southern hemisphere)

I give thanks for all those who were placed in that space in my heart

the friends who traveled so far to spend time together and visit some of the most amazing places on earth with me

the family who loved me in this in-between when I was feeling far

the friends who watch me dream and somehow feel as if they are standing right next to me even though they are miles and  miles away

sometimes we are called to feel that space in our heart, to connect with it when it needs some love, to be in tune with it, to guard it, to protect it, to let it be our guide and to love it enough to know what is GOOD

so what about the space?

so what?

there is always room

and if you lean in sometimes you'll just be surprised

What do I feel inspired to explore more deeply at this point in my life?

the here and the now

el aqui y el ahora

I feel like exploring, 

simply,

following those and that which inspires me

letting myself be led 

paving the way

knowing a good thing when I feel it and just going with it

swerving the not so good things

going with the flow

welcoming the heart break

to expand 

into the space

the space in my heart 💓
