For my first post my twin recommended I blog about what makes me happy. Here is a list.
This is what makes me happy:
Living near the ocean and hearing the waves.
Knowing how special this would be for my brother, sister, and parents if they were here, so feeling like I am experiencing the new for and with them in my heart, and knowing how happy they are for me, fulfilling my heart's desires.
Waking up with the sunrise.
Eating all kinds of tropical fruits.
Eating delicious meals prepared by my house mom "Light" that are unique everyday and satisfy me in profound ways
Taking care of my digestion
Having dewy glowing skin
Living in a house that's in alignment with the power of natural herbs for healing and balancing
- actually the herbal tea brew I made last night has been really affecting me in a great way! I put many herbs together. I boiled the roots for thirty minutes. Then I added the leaves and let it sit in the hot water (heat off) for thirty minutes. I'm feeling a lot of effects and one thing that at least eases me is that I'm living with a master herbalist who knows these herbs inside and out. So it makes me happy to be more conscious of the fact that what I put in my body can be transforming me.
One of the herbs I took increases sexual energy lol and today I'm feeling extra inspired, invigorated, and... like where's my boyfriend (I have to get one first). What makes me happy is getting in touch with my different body systems and experience the natural way they want to live and release.
In one way I feel empowered about how much I can affect my sense of being with food, herbs, exercise etc and on the other hand it's very overwhelming! This is like surfing a little bit -- meeting in the wild center of the unknown for the purpose of play!
- Again, being in touch with the beautiful tropics here in Puerto Rico makes me so happy because there is so much unknown to life and there is bliss in being reminded of this. It makes me smile!
Another herb I took that I heat with coconut milk and is Bacopa. Relaxing!!! I love to relax! Relaxing makes me happy!!!! There is so much to do, see, be, feel in life and relaxation is the best way to go about it (or go about something else!). This herb makes me happy. I drink it with some honey and recently I put Ashwaghanda in there (which is strengthening).-Thinking about relaxing every single day in the future without having to work like a slave for retirement - simply taking this herb everyday makes me so happy! It's very profound!
-Thinking about all the wonderful information of herbs and food I'm going to learn makes me very happy as well!
-Sunsets make me happy!
-Farmer's markets make me happy!
-Meeting new people makes me happy!
-Fresh coconuts and my roommate Rebecca who is always positive, clear minded, and spent 3 hours in the kitchen yesterday smashing coconuts with a hammers then putting them through the juicer to make coconut pudding which we ate together last night with gluten free cake.
-Bryan who offer delicious healthy treats, lives a life I want to live, and took me surfing today makes me happy.
- My heart beating for the people around me makes me happy!
-Spending some time to cook for myself and realize the slow process in which food is made relaxes me, brings me deeper into the process of life, and makes me happy!
- Reflecting on a lifetime of hugs with my sister makes me happy!
-The tastes on my tongue!
-A million things about being here in Puerto Rico!
-Being grateful for my family makes me happy!
-Knowing that tomorrow is another healthy beautiful day
There is so much! How long can this list go?.
I love my sister, mother, father, brother, Michelle, Stephen and all the amazing friends who care and inspire me to live fully and to keep being unique, loving, healthy, abundant, and Loved!
Blessings!
