For the past week I’ve been craving nature. Simple remedy: Go to the lake and fish.
This morning, however, it felt necessary to go to the backyard and listen to the birds, listen to the drops of rain falling from the leaves, and take some pictures of beautiful mother earth.
The Amazon is on fire, and my soul aches for our planet.
Here are some pictures of the beauty that surrounds us, daily.
Get out there people, while we can. ❤
Traveling is always an adventure, literally and figuratively. There is self discovery that always happens, and usually enlightenment to follow. Growing up a motto stuck with me which was ‘Knowledge is Power’ and this is pure truth. As I’m growing and experiencing(and gaining knowledge) it’s very apparent that it’s always better to talk about things you know, and listen to those who talk about things you don’t.
On that note, here are 10 things I learned on my trip to Italy in 2018(no order in specific)!
1. How to live out of my suitcase when going to a different hotel every day – it can be easy, but make sure you have plenty of space for dirty laundry!
2. ‘Legs’ in a wine glass demonstrate the amount of alcohol content in the wine(difference between a 12% wine and a 14% wine) amongst other things, but we’ll get into wine posts on CaptivEATing
3. You can drive 140km/h safely on the autostrada – there are auto ticketing radars but, everyone’s going faster than you at 130kmph so more than likely you’ll be fine
4. Italians think I look like J.Lo
5. Make sure that no matter what, you ask if your living quarters have AC (!!!!!) – I can’t stress this enough, make sure you know exactly what kind of living situation you’ll be in before you get to your destination. Do you have AC? Do you have a kitchen? Do you have a shower? It may seem like all of these things would be listed but, sometimes they’re not! Just ask and there won’t be any surprises.
6. You can easily get lost driving 2 miles through the hills of Tuscany
7. Burrata is still my favorite of all time
8. The Alps are one of the most magnificent sights, even from the road
9. Traveling with strangers (in this case, being in a new place with new people for a solid 9 days) will open your heart and bring you to a new place, internally – one of the best things in life is sharing and learning from those around you. My dad used to say if you learn ONE thing a day, you’ve had a good day. I spent 9 days listening and partaking in French, Italian and German languages which all come kind of easily to me because of Spanish, however, languages require brain power, mine was tired after every day but it was beautiful being in touch with that part of my senses/brainwaves!
10. You can make progress with whatever you want if you really want to (speaking languages, for instance) – put your mind to it, you can do it.
Listen, absorb, learn, take it all in, be in the moment, be grateful, and live it up my friends!!!
Every day is a blessing to be alive.
Every day is an opportunity to look around, absorb your surroundings, and give thanks for the amazingness of Life.
There are ups and downs, but without them, who would we be? What would we see?
Every day is a chance to let your soul be Free.

When you look at the world around you, are you really seeing it.. Are you really looking at it? Or are you merely glancing at it, without truly absorbing, noticing, feeling it?
When we take a moment to become still, to listen to the earth breathe, to listen to ourselves breathe, we combine the internal with the external. Your eyes can see what is infront of them, but can your soul connect with it?
Our realities are relative to our perception.
The people around you, the moments and places you are in, we’re in them for a reason. We’re in them to connect.
We must remember to Be Present.

I am limitless.
I am Infinite.
I am wealthy in abundance, love, kindness and peace.
And so it is!
We must believe that which we want to be true about ourselves.
We must act, on those beliefs and live through actions, not words.
Walk the talk.
Dont just Talk the talk.
We are limitless.
❤
