Introducing "Journal Thoughts" series

Discovering Life's Magic in Everyday Moments

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." Robert Brault

Today I celebrate three incredible months since my arrival here in the stunning northern beaches of Sydney. What an unforgettable ride it has been! From three months in Southeast Asia to a spontaneous trip to India, I've found myself in the most magical place I could have ever imagined.

Throughout my travels over the past two years, I've seen and experienced many beautiful destinations. However, my connection to this place is unlike anything I've ever felt before. The people radiate genuine happiness, the lifestyle aligns perfectly with my desires, and the weather is simply idyllic. There have been moments when I couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude while standing in front of the beach, and that deep sense of thankfulness is something I live for.

However moving and traveling are not without their challenges. I've encountered a rollercoaster of moments, with their highs and lows. But I've always tried to see these challenges as opportunities for personal growth.

I've come to understand that sometimes, saying "no" to certain opportunities or demands can be the key to unlocking doors to even more enriching and significant experiences. I've been on a quest to establish healthier boundaries and have chosen to not succumb to people-pleasing.

I'm committed to doing things that truly resonate with me, not because I feel obligated or need to, but because I genuinely want to. Prioritizing my mental and physical well-being has been a vital part of my journey as well.

One aspect of my life that has been put on hold though is writing. I've often used the excuse that my current adventures may not be as grand as when I was backpacking, leading me to believe I had nothing to share. However, I've missed writing immensely and have decided to change my perspective. I want to find creativity and value in the small details, conversations, and landscapes of everyday life.

"Journal Thoughts" will be a collection of short, personal newsletters that encapsulate my daily experiences and reflections. It will serve as a testament to the fact that life doesn't solely revolve around grand adventures to be meaningful and interesting. It's about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

I can't wait to embark on this new writing adventure and hope it resonates with you.

Thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout my journey!
