a soft landing reminder ✈️

Hi cutie angels!! Ok so once again I stepped into this lil writing space that I create for myself where I get cozy and start channelling and words just start flowing through me, and I always have something in mind to write about and most of the time now it’s never what I actually start writing about hahahah.. but the cool thing about that is that it’s reassuring me that I’m simply meant to be doing this because it’s really fuelling the creative energy that I didn’t recognize I had, so I love that, and also I got some divine confirmation in the last month how aligned this is for me - if you remember from one of my first posts I shared that I just randomly got a download in a meditation that told me to “start the blog gf!!!” and I have some clarity and insight that my papa who is loving on us from the other side is present with me when I’m writing and he’s cheering me on and I LOVE IT SO MUCH 🥹 my witchy instincts were feeling his presence the weeks as I started blogging and then a spiritual mentor confirmed that to me and it was just really beautiful and I’m grateful to know he’s with me!! 

But anyway getting into it, my cozy writing space at the moment is actually on the plane on my way to Costa Rica hahahah decided to shake it up a lil, and I had the intention of writing about where my head’s been at recently and the reason I’m on my way there right now but as I started that thought, I remembered my uber driver last night — last night meaning I got a 10pm flight and flew to Toronto and spent 4 hours there before this next 5 hour flight…..I’m in zombie mode at the moment but this is fun right — and he gave me such an important message that deserves to be shared with whoever the heck is reading these thoughts of mine because it actually made me tear up. I’ve been a lover girly my whole life, as we know if you’ve read even one single post at this point, I feel things very deeply and connect with others on another level and sometimes being empathic is tricky but today I’m reminded that it’s my most beautiful gift. His name was Hassan and since I was already the absolute sleepiest gal after a wild work weekend and was mentally preparing for this venture, I was quiet in the uber even though I always seem to have the best conversations with my drivers.. but it’s almost like he knew that and he went “can I ask you a question?”, I went oh please!! And he told me that his English is not very good, he’s from Iran and he can write and read very well but he’s working on his conversation skills and so he asked me if when he said “just put your suitcase on the seat” as I got in the uber, that was grammatically correct or if he should have said “place your suitcase on the seat”… bless his heart so I shared with him that his English was wonderful and I think the latter is just more formal, etc.. and I asked why and when he came to Canada, he told me only 6 months ago for work as he’s a financial advisor, and said that his wife and 11 year old daughter are still back in Iran until he can finalize the visa process and then they can come here.. I know a little about this process, or rather that it can be extensive so when I asked him how long they think that will take or if they know how long, he goes “oh absolutely no idea it can be a while but it’s no problem, I know they’re with me everyday and I will be so happy when they can finally come here!” …….. 😭😭😭 cue me sobbing in the back of an uber hahahah ok only a few tears but it immediately struck a chord in me and I felt his genuine optimism, love and also longing, and as I’m thinking about it right now it was the most beautiful reminder that I think I needed to hear at the perfect time. 

I’m at a point in my life where I’m working through practicing my patience and surrendering to the divine timing that my higher self has mapped out for me as my human self tends to get caught up in wanting it all now. I’ve realized in the last few years, but even more so in the last few months that having a powerful vision is always going to fuel you and urge your current self to strive towards something as long as you’re rooted in that vision. However with that strong vision it’s really really easy to get caught up in living in that future timeline and at least for me personally, I sometimes forget to ground myself in the present and remind myself along the way how far I’ve come because when I look back to 2 years ago, I can barely recognize that version of myself and then a girlfriend even just told me “Sarah look at how far you’ve come in just the last 6 months…” and I had to give myself that space intentionally to be in that, and recognize that she was right…I’ve been consciously navigating this year with as much grace and love and patience as possible and while that’s testing me, I’m being reminded that I need to give myself more credit for that, let alone the version of me 2 years ago that would probably have a hard time imagining that I would be where I am right now with the level of commitment I have to my life, the things I’ve learnt in the fun ways and the hard ways, and just all the experiences that have all been absolutely wild 🥹

I think that once you’re someone that spends a lot of time learning about yourself and growing and striving for a certain lifestyle, you’re naturally hard on yourself because you ultimately know what you’re capable of and continue to seek that growth. And if you’re in that boat with me, this is a reminder to both of us how important it is to take time to reflect on the growth that you’ve already done so far, and also remember that while you’re constantly striving for more - and I don’t mean more in a material sense just always wanting more things and experiences, but rather the more for yourself that you inherently know you’re capable of because we have the capacity of creating anything and everything and that’s magical - you’re also in this exact moment at a point that the past version of you could only have dreamed of. Like actually let that sink in.

I’ve been told before that I’m a little impatient 🤭 which I always disagreed with because if you catch me in traffic or a long line for something I’m very aware that I have no control over that and I don’t get frustrated anymore, what the heck is the point (unless I’m in an evo lol), but the more I think on that I can see the areas that I most definitely am impatient in hahahah and it’s mostly the things I can control. I’m the first person to skip ahead in a book or a movie and spoil it, or just ask what happens before I’ve started it and I also don’t care for surprises, I ask my mom every single year what she’s getting me for Christmas because I just wanna make sure its good…you know??? And I honestly think there’s nothing wrong with that thank you very much, but when you apply it to the things in life that you kind of have control over but also kind of don’t, like the actions you take daily to get to where you want to be, but the when and the what…. I don’t think that’s all up to us. 

I had a thought the other day that when I look back on my life, the things I mapped out for myself rarely EVER happened when or even how I thought they would…but that’s not what’s important!! As long as you are grounded in your vision, with a little bit of flexibility hahaha because when you attach hard expectations, that resistance will surely be met somewhere along the way and leaves no room for you to co-create with the universe. The surrendering is the most important part and that’s what I’m leaning into heavily in this next chapter of my life because ultimately, I know that that the thriving business and travel and relationships and financial goals are already mine, I just need to focus on the present moment decisions and intuitive guidance that leads me to them, WHILEEEEEE also grounding in gratitude for all of the things I have already created and cultivated ✨ 

Anyway this is basically a thank you letter to Hassan, the sweetest uber driver who gave me the most well timed reminder I think I’ve ever received in such a beautiful way… I’m very very grateful and also I hope that something in here made you feel…something hahahah and if any of these sentences didn’t make sense at all well….I don’t actually know if I’ve slept in the last 24 hours so whatever!!!

Thanks for reading love bugs!!
