I am on the beach in Pompano listening to Alicia Keys’s 21-day mediation experience. It’s end of Jan 2022 and I’m dreaming about what this year will look like for me and my business. I realize in that moment whenever I think about my future, I think of CKD and I as one. The choices I make for myself directly effect what happens to my business and vice versa. I’ve been growing CKD for almost 7 years now. Sacrificing my early 30’s, living a life literally no one around me was living. Together we were learning lessons, going through life experiences separately with different challenges but knowing that the lessons and growth would benefit and help the other. This thought process has brought me to this point, I tell myself - how do I get to the next phase. I feel like there is a gap between my life now and what I truly want for myself. “Do you feel a resounding yes”, says Alicia Keys in my ear. The meditation is about following your life’s bliss. If you do not feel a resounding yes she says, don’t do it - it’s not your path. I took this a sign and told myself the way to evolve next is to open my mind and heart to new opportunities and if the feeling is not a resounding yes, don’t do it - if it is, jump.
I am currently writing this from Los Angeles. A city I never thought I would find myself spending time in. These photos are of life recently from Paris to Mykonos for Roberto’s 40th with my best friends (some of them I just met this year while in Tulum ) to LA . I realized so much about myself over the past 6 months. I learned how to put my personal life first and let CKD adapt. This shift hasn’t been easy and it’s exposed some very vulnerable parts of me that have been hiding in safety for years. But now - somewhat on the other side of it all, there have been way too many serendipitous moments happening to trust the jump and be in awe of life and its magic. It has been a while since I’ve been in this flow - in life’s flow. A place of presence. A place of acceptance for all that is here to stay and all that is supposed to leave. But most importantly a place of inspiration and excitement.
That gap has closed, bringing me through new doors of adventure filled with new people, new lessons that will require different versions of myself that I’m ready to explore. Guys… there is some really cool stuff happening right now. I’m scared but excited. In the words of Roberto - LFG .
Mykonos, Greece. one of the best trips of my life. I left my phone at home and took my camera out. Felt like old blogging days.
