Story time 🩵⛰️
On our first yoga retreat in Greece this past May, and I took our group on a highly-recommended hike to a natural waterfall with pools of crystal clear water to swim in. The weather was perfect, the hike was immaculate, the vibes were vibing.
Naturally, four months later on our second retreat the waterfall hike was a MUST in the itinerary - we even rearranged the schedule to move it to what was supposed to be the sunniest day of the weekend.
Ofc man plans and god laughs, and it started drizzling the moment we arrived to the hike. We think “okay, we’re already here, it’ll probabaly stop in a few minutes, the weather report is clear, yada yada.”
Joke was on us because when we made it to the top of the mountain, that light drizzle became a torrential downpour. Everyone was in disbelief, and then one by one, girls started jumping in the waterfall - and that was all I needed to see to turn my exasperation into pure, child-like joy. I gave myself a pep talk, took a few deep breaths and jumped in too (it was actually warmer in the water lol.) The experience was surreal.
One of my intentions for this year was to release myself from the need of having a perfect life and embrace the abundance of what is. Your mind will offer you a thousand alternative scenarios to how the present moment could be more “perfect” - it’s on YOU to choose where your focus goes.
My greatest intention and hope is to make as many memories as possible that make me smile as big and laugh as hard and this one does. Grateful for Mother Earth and her sense of humor and for the girls that made it down the mountain with me 🌧️🥹
