In 2016 I was healed of FOMO (fear of missing out).

I had probably read too many travel blogs and was hoping my 2016 would be non-stop traveling and well, it wasn’t. In fact, I rested, wrote and painted a lot. I actually stayed in LA for a consecutive 3 months. Yes I did fly to Paris to film a travel show, Morocco to backpack, and then to the Philippines for another show…but when I came back from Cebu in June, the most out of state traveling I did was a cruise to Mexico.

Also the last few years, I happened to be traveling during the holidays. On my birthday 2 years ago, I traveled to Catalina Island and spent a few days alone.

Instead of the “hoo-haa I want to party and dance”, I did not feel that way this year. I was okay staying in and watching Netflix. I was comfortable with the peace of just being with God. Peace was something I attained more of in 2016 and I realized it was better than the crazy drunkenness that comes with partying.

Peace was better than dating guys that messed up my peacequilibrium.

Peace was better than forcing myself to attend family events where I would be attacked verbally.

Peace was better than spending time with people who were constantly striving because they don’t know their worth.

Peace was better than the struggle of speeding into other peoples’ lanes because of jealousy. You see, there are dreams that people have that are not YOURS. Know your vision, know your dreams, know what you want and don’t go hopping into other peoples’ lanes because you have a minute of jealousy.

Shut off your phone, laptop. Unplug for a minute. Sync with God. You are enough, here and now….not when you achieve something else, when you attain something more, or when you meet the right person…you are enough now.

Stay in your lane, focus on your life. Don’t go “but they’re doing this or that….”.

I learned that if it is God, it feels peaceful. I learned that if it was the right way to go, it is peace. Yes, new paths might be scary, but deep down there exists a tremble of excitement. A scary excitement. 2017 will bring new levels of promotion, love and joy.

I see your past wiped out, you have a clean slate for a new life. Forgive yourself. Let the past go. Let’s move forward together. Are you in?

This is my question of the day!

I ask you this and ask you to comment below and answer this QUESTION! DO IT!

Yes, so this is a HUGE question to ask, especially since I don’t really believe that the world is going to end.

That’s because MY BOOK IS coming out THE DAY BEFORE! Yes, I know. Can’t believe I’m pushing myself to give birth so soon to a project I’ve been talking about, writing about, dreaming about for over 2-3 years. I can’t even remember. I made it SUCH A BIG DEAL that many times…I postponed my ACTUAL WRITING and decided to talk rather than write.

Well, it’s 8:16pm and I have been heavily addicted to writing. Mostly editing. Plus I found a FREE TEMPLATE on 48HRBooks, pretty sweet.

Help keep me accountable….my book will be about MY JOURNEY of becoming self- employed. I’m sure you will find this helpful, especially those that are constantly talking, but never making the leap.

Our circumstances will never become perfect. There’s what life gives you and what you do WITH what LIFE GIVES YOU.

Do you see the box on the right of the page (on the homepage)- input your email to get the latest updates on my writing journey and perhaps….and snippet of it for free.

I’m sure when you read my book, you will be mind-blown, sometimes when I read my journal entries….I’m BLOWN away by the things I had to endure and go through. No one would be able to imagine what I learned through the cleansing process (cleansing from societal norms – whatever that is). I needed to be cleansed of the societal perspective and systems that bind us from leaping into our dreams.

It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
