I’m off on an adventure this weekend and I am immensely grateful for this opportunity. I’m looking forward to catching up with friends, meeting new ones, nurturing my passion for health and wellness, immersing myself in a variety of workshops, learning from other like-minded people while sharing our experiences, knowledge and stories. These are the defining moments in our lives, not the things we acquire. These are the experiences which form our future selves and encourage us to be the best we can possibly be. These are the opportunities that are there for the taking if we are open to them, willing to step outside our comfort zones, and embrace them for the amazing experiences that they are. This is a huge step for me and it is my first time to participate in such an event. I am not ashamed to say that I’m both excited and apprehensive about it. I don’t do well in crowds and I also have never attended anything without knowing at least one person who was going to be there with me. I’m the person who has always wanted to do these things but has let her mind talk her out of it. Why? Fear. Anxiety. What if’s. Insecurity. Lack of confidence. You name it. I have it. Then, last year, I learned the hardest and most heartbreaking lesson of all ... the loss of my son ... and just how quickly life can change in an instant. Life truly is too short to be held hostage by fear and what if’s. So, this weekend I am throwing caution to the wind. I am seizing the day. Hopefully, I won’t need bail money (😜), but what if I did? Would it be the worst thing to ever happen to me? Definitely not. I am surviving the worst event of my life and I will continue to move forward in my son’s legacy and brightly shining light. This weekend will be my defining moment. I shall break free of my fears, my insecurities and my what if’s. I will survive. I will have stories to tell. ✈️👩💻👩🏫💪🏻💎🎉❤️ #fillyour life #experiencesnotthings #loveyourself #iamworthit (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BprTVOWB_AW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=198bjfc3ejdlw
