Last week was spring break and I surprised my little one with a short mini vacation to the cute little surf town in Santa Cruz.  The drive down there was rough with traffic most of the way down. But once we got there, the weather was perfect for the beach, pool and the Boardwalk. I got us a decent motel less than half a block away from the action. Taking advantage of the free parking was great. Thankfully we went in the middle of the week so it wasn’t crowded and actually quite nice.  


 I’m from Hawaii so I really liked the charm and vibe of this surf and chill community. After a day and a half of the boardwalk with rides, games, miniature golf and fair food, we finally went to the beach. I laid out my towel and put sunscreen on the boy before he went to enjoy the water.  I walked to the water's edge and felt the very cool (nearly freezing for me) water. I was instantly brought back to reality that I was in California, not back home.


As I watched the daredevil kids try to get into the water for a swim but getting pushed back to the shore because of the waves crashing close by. Each set that would come in the small up and down waves and then crescendo into a big beautiful glass like crest shaped barrel was so mesmerizing to me.  Taking in all the saltwater air smell and the sand between my toes, I couldn’t help but think that’s how life is.  A bunch of ups and downs and when it's all coming together forms the most beautiful wave. I’ve heard the saying ride the wave and go with the flow so many times.  But what I’ve learned is that when I do ride the waves and enjoy the up and down journey it prepares me for the big beautiful outcome.  


Another quote I’ve read is I can’t control the waves but I can learn how to surf.  I had dreams to learn how to surf when I was a little girl and still sometimes in my dreams now I imagine riding a wave on a longboard looking fierce in a two piece.  Above all I need to trust that God/Universe/Angels and Ancestors all have my back. Everything is supposed to be the way it is. My job now is to enjoy the ride and help others enjoy their ride along the way.

My Story

 

Ever since I was a young child, I was always very moody.  Considered ultra sensitive, my anxiety was always through the roof.  As a young adult I got therapy and took prescription drugs which I thought would help.  I even had an as needed anxiety medication I had a panic attack.to keep on me just in case. I just wanted to feel like myself again.I tried different medication and therapists, hypnotherapy, whatever I could find.  When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I decided to stop all medications, even down to over the counter to protect my baby. I liked not taking a bunch of pills daily but I didn’t feel like I was getting any better.  Everyday I put on a face so everyone around me would believe everything was okay when I knew I clearly wasn’t. 


I always clung to a Higher Power for protection and guidance and my faith carried me through many years of uncertainty and very high stress. I was unhappy in my relationships, my job, and more. I felt like my whole life needed a makeover but I had no idea where to even start. One day this lady came into the store where I worked and she shared a new way of thinking.


Now I’m so much happier and feel a million times better overall. My faith in the Universe/Higher Power/God/Spirit grows more and more each day.I am working on my health and wellness and my life has changed drastically. I gained confidence in myself to leave bad relationships, left a job and found a better one (or two).  Most of all I see my dream life vision coming together slowly, yet surely. I’m so excited to help others do the same.I have an amazing support group of awesome women all working together to achieve our dreams. I see that the power of positivity and love is contagious and I’m happy I can share that with the world.  Of course I still have ups and downs but now I have tools to help myself and others that can relate.


Come join our group of amazing ladies all working together to build our dreams in a loving and high vibe atmosphere.
