I didn’t want to waste the time.

I didn’t want to waste the time..

Because I had a belief I needed to get home.

But, did I really not have some time???

I wanted to go and explore.

I didn’t have to be home.

I had the freedom. I had the time. I had the white space.

I gave myself permission to alter my plans.

I changed my plans to what felt better.

Often I say to my clients, if not this…then something better.

We often cling to THIS … because it’s known.

But when we let go … we open up the possibility of finding something better.

What unfolded was a day to reconnect with ME after several busy, busy months.

While I had plans to go to Sacramento to work at my favorite coffee shop – Pachamama …

I found a new coffee shop in the Central Valley, in Merced of all places.

I connected with the locals about their community.

I explored the newest UC (University of California) campus.

I talked with students to learn about their educational experience + future plans.

I explored Lake Yosemite (I never knew there was a lake next to the campus).

I found a bridge.

I took a photo.

To me the bridge represents new beginnings.

Take a step.

Explore.

Nothing is wasted.

You will find more of what this world has to offer.

Do something different.

Had I stuck to “my plan” I would have missed out on the adventure I took.

In the end … I learned … I had not wasted any time.

Instead I gained connection with me.

I’m so grateful I listened to the voice inside that told me to stay, explore + connect.

It was worth every minute.

Afterwards … I was so energized I went back to that coffee shop in Merced and wrote for a few hours before heading back home.

I’ve come home refueled.

I’ve come home with work done.

I didn’t waste any time.

I gained so much more with my detour.

P.S. Make sure you take time for yourself. It won’t be wasted!
