HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

New Years Day- 2015
My last day spent in India has been heart warming and reflective. Waiting for an early flight back to Canada I stroll through the streets one last time. As I walk down the dusty dirt road of a little community just outside of the Delhi airport, men and women passing me by with curious looks. Who is she? Where does she come from with this golden skin that shines from the sun. A sparkle in her eyes that has felt a deep sense of love, faith and hope. My scarf is delicately placed around my head covering my hair, staying warm from the cool breeze of the Delhi winter evenings.
Alone I walk, although I feel I am amongst friends and family. For the first time I felt that I am in a real Indian community. No foreigners to be seen and I feel right at home. The bright lights of New Years and the last 2 months of spiritual awakenings have left me feeling alive. I am awake, I am free, I am me. My experience with India has revealed a certain frequency within the depth of my being. We are one and we are equal. We all have a heart, mind, body and a soul. We all have pleasures and desires that create fear and pain. We seem to be living in continuous cycles of wants without ever being satisfied. Where does true happiness reside? In the now, being grateful for what we have in this moment.

I am a traveler, gypsy, writer and a lover. I receive my inspiration to write when I am immersed in culture. When I am challenged to go out of my comfort zone. Being put in a position of vulnerability as I express the truth through words. Inspiration is in the change of seasons and the transition of airport energies. I feel this rush flushing into my veins when I say I love you, when my tears create a moist smile to take all my worries away. I express through my body as I move with passion and flow. When someone looks into your eyes and you feel that rush of energy that travels up and down your spine. This is passion, this is living. All these experiences bring me to a moment of realization that I can truly say that i have loved, that I have lived thoroughly and passionately in this lifeā€¦ And I continue to do this until I can inspire others to do the same.
I feel this year will be magical and I hope it is for all of you.
Blessings beauties
