FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION TO NEW ADVENTURES

I’ll bet most of us have a story about following our intuition. Maybe it’s that time you decided on a different route and met a wonderful person, or accepted a job you loved when another seemed like the more practical choice, or maybe (hopefully) when you took a chance on that lucky lottery ticket!

I can recount many of those stories, but the freshest in my mind is still the trip I took in late 2019 just before everything changed. I didn’t have the budget for it but I (uncharacteristically) threw caution to the wind and made it happen. Little did I know that everything would shut down within a few months and I wouldn’t travel internationally again for years. You just never know what’s around the corner.

That was my first trip to Ireland, and I’m thrilled to (finally) be going back again this May! I’m excited to share more about the art retreat that I’ll be leading, but the point of this post is to urge you to trust your intuition and listen to your heart. I couldn’t have told you at the time why it was so important for me to go, but I sure am glad I did. The memories from that trip are times I will cherish forever, and that experience reminded me not to take opportunities for granted.

I will be making some other trips this year as well, which you’ll hear about soon. And because I’m even more inspired now for new adventures, I am saying YES to a lot more opportunities these days and worrying just a little bit less. I hope you are too.

That’s my story. What’s yours?
