Solo Travel is Soul Necessary

Opportunity called and I answered, this week, unexpectedly. Potential for partnership and collaboration in the dessert, at a Spa called Civana, a wellness resort, where people go to feel something. Located in a town called Carefree, which I thought was funny initially, but truly it is just that — on my run the first day, my feet took me down the main road to Dream Street which led to Serene Street and then down Pleasant lane. Fitting. The entire place was dreamy, serene and more than pleasant, rather inspiring. But It takes a minute to let go of city life and settle. Two days in and I was meant to leave ✈️ but instead I extended to day three. I let go of caring that I would be letting anyone or anything down, by staying. Instead, I chose me.

I brought my rituals with me – meditation, journaling, sweating, and did all the things – classes, ran through the cactus 🌵 , massage, facial, reiki. Something about the desert energy, old soul, dry heat, is so comforting. I didn’t bring heels, and actually didn’t wear shoes, except for the spa slides they provided me, clad in a robe for most of the journey. I ate fresh food, chocolate mushrooms 🍄 too: simply put I cared for me. The staff went above and beyond constantly. The environment so nurturing, I realized that We Can be Carefree When We Are cared For. And that starts internally.

Self Love Is Where All Love Begins. So, a note to promote our own knowing. TO Listen. Honor. Follow. Celebrate. Invest in You. First. BE Your Best Habit. I will too. And go to @civanaresort , immediately. When my plane departed Austin, I felt a deep sense of ascending upon an Eat Pray 🙏🏽 Love ❤️ journey. And leaving Arizona, I knew my mission was accomplished, on Earth Day, no less. One love ✌️ it starts with US!! We have to be selfish to be selfless and Wellness IS the way we see ourselves. Let’s start feeling. More to this story, of course — in next weeks note. Stay tuned. Love Always, Olivia
