Last week, I took one of the biggest steps I've taken in my life in a long time. I took a trip on my own for a few days. This may seem like something insignificant. No big deal. However, I'm coming to you from a place of permission: giving myself full permission to be all of me. I can't think of a specific time in my life when I fully embraced this lesson. The question is, why? Why is it so hard to be your true, authentic self? To embrace it. Live it. Be it. What I found on my trip was that it's in the moments and experiences that we create and embody that we are exposed to another version of ourselves. Now the challenge comes: am I willing to embrace this lesson not only on trips like these but each day?
