ONE YEAR! Holy moly one whole year on this beautiful, tiny island!
What a dang journey it has been since arriving to a place I had never even visited and knew no one! The friends I have made, the places I have explored, all of the things I have learned. Time has flown by and stood still all in the same, most incredible way. Thank you to all of the sweet, sweet people who have welcomed me to THEIR special place, THEIR forever home, THEIR island before I ever even knew it, and have shared this space with me. I feel so very honored. The people who have learned my name or returned my silly wave or goofy smile on the street or beach.
This island has shown me and reminded me of something so beautiful: this life is whatever we want it to be! And there is no right or wrong way to live it. We all experience it in different ways we all have the opportunity to make it unique. Caring for people can be done anywhere; working in a hospital, in a restaurant, in an office building. It doesn’t matter. Care for others deeply in whatever position that you are in. Choosing to love more, accept challenges with grace, get out of my comfort zone, and TRUST! Trust in myself and trust in the universe that the world is unfolding just as it should right before me in the most beautiful timing.
Thank you thank you thank you! Yay to 1 year filled with adventure, sunshine, strangers who are now friends, and JOY! This world is a beautiful, beautiful place.
Boy oh boy do the wonderful people on this island miss your positive energy and beautiful smile, especially me!
