Being open

These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake





I just went on a cruise with my best friend of 25 years: a silver anniversary cruise of sorts. (and our wonderful musician husbands)
It was not at all what we had planned. Many things went a different direction from our original course, but from a healing, life changing perspective it was wonderful.
The biggest thing I got from the cruise was the need to care for ones body. Had some life changing acupuncture, at the spa. My friend and I left the ship with a new commitment to care for our physical body.
Another moment was meeting two Rastafarian's in Jamaica. One was a christian Rastafarian, and the other was a non christian Rastafarian. But both very much healers. It was a lesson in perspective, and in seeing the similarities and the differences in people. Different beliefs, looking the same, acting similar, getting along, working well together bringing about the same common goal, yet being so different in beliefs. It was the highlight of our cruise. They played reggae music, fed us local herb tea and fresh fruits, taught us a new craft, and shared a walk through these magnificent gardens, and touched our hearts forever.
We were suppose to go to the Caymans, but the wind was too strong to anchor, so we had to by pass it, but there was so many other awesome moments that it didn't matter.
I was open, we were open to possibilities, and that was all we needed for the miracles to happen. Be open to new experiences: be open to life taking you in different directions: be open to people who are different than you: Be open to discovering your own vulnerabilities and issues: Be open to change: just be open. It truly is when the miracles occur. Being open allows grand gratefulness.
PS Celebrity cruise lines are the best we have had so far.
