Courtney Hope Instagram – 35 ✨🎂 Half way through. A mix of emotions but the resounding two are eagerness and peace.
Peace in who and where I am, knowing I’m being divinely guided and surrounded by the most wonderful people who continue to grace my path. And an eagerness to continue to live life from this focal point. If life has brought me here with this amount of blessings, I can’t begin to imagine what is in store the latter half of my 30’s.
I used to live my life needing something to look forward to, even a good meal at the end of the day- always looking ahead and “couldn’t wait” until “blank” happened. I was searching for fulfillment, adventure and validation outside of myself instead of the present moment. Once I recognized the NOW has infinite possibilities and magic, that I truly WAS all I needed to be in this very moment and instead of judging myself I was meant to express myself and connect. I could now see that everyone else was where they needed to be, without comparison, and my soul desire became to deepen relationships, strengthen the foundations that shaped me, and broaden my circle of understanding. Only then did I begin to feel my roots plant deep underneath my feet and I finally found the grounding I longed for.
What I have learned, over the last year especially, is I don’t want time to go ANY faster than it is now. I have craved savoring every second of every day, here and now, with the people who I cherish so deeply. I really don’t need anything more than what I have. Life truly does move so fast, and looking back, I can see how much I missed by constantly looking forward and everywhere else instead of where my feet stood. Nothing stays the same, but if we don’t learn to enjoy the true present moment we will woefully miss it when it’s gone.
SO here is to another year of NOWS. I can’t wait to savor in the moments dripped with gratitude, adventure, wisdom, connection and love. 💕
Thank you all for coming on this journey with me 🪷🌻🌞💫! | Posted on 15/Aug/2024 22:16:55
