Letting Inspiration Be Your Guide-and How I was Inspired in Tuscany
One of the main reasons I've been organizing trips and retreats over the past 10 years is because I personally feel inspired by the places I take people. Let me share a little background story that you may not have heard. About 15 years ago, I went through a really tough time when my mom passed away, I was also going through a divorce. I was feeling incredibly low and desperately needed a break to recover.
I had been to a small town in the Tuscan Hills a few times before, so I decided to go there alone. During my time there, I slept, read books, prayed, and meditated. I had expected to spend most of my time alone, but to my surprise, the locals in that small town embraced me. I made lifelong friends and felt a strong connection to the place and the sense of peace it brought me. In simple terms, I felt inspired. We all know that feeling when inspiration hits us. It's a powerful force that energizes and motivates us to do something new.
🌼ACTING FROM INSPIRATION: I think that when we act from a place of inspiration, anything feels possible. It's like a powerful energy that can surprise us and lift us up from our normal thoughts, taking us to a higher level of awareness. Discovering what truly inspires us and nurturing it consciously opens up new ways of thinking and taps into our hidden energy.
Finding what inspires us is like discovering a hidden treasure within ourselves. When we embrace and fuel those inspirations, we unlock a wellspring of creativity, motivation, and enthusiasm. We start seeing things from different perspectives and breaking free from our own limitations. Embracing inspiration allows us to embark on an amazing journey of self-discovery, unlocking our inner magic and living a life filled with endless possibilities.

🌼SOURCES OF INSPIRATION: There are countless ways to find inspiration, as unique as the individuals seeking it. If you already know what inspires you, find a way to incorporate it into your life regularly. If you're unsure or if your sources of inspiration have changed, take some time to reflect. When was the last time you felt the spark of your imagination? When
did you last act on a gut feeling that turned out to be right? Being in the presence of what inspires us allows us to hear our inner guidance more clearly and provides the energy to follow its cues.
For me, that little spot in Italy is like a magnet. It healed me and sparked my inspiration. When I take others there, my hope is that they too can experience the peace, inspiration, and transformation I felt when I needed it most. Sharing these experiences in some form or another is incredibly important to me and by stepping out of the day to day, you give yourself permission to be inspired.
If it's been a while since you've felt inspired, you might be feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied, remember, you can turn things around by reconnecting with what ignites your passion and bringing it into your life. I encourage you to take the time to listen to your heart and pursue your dreams. I genuinely hope you'll have the chance to join me on my Tuscany trip sometime. It would be an honor to be there with you when you experience that inspiring
spark.
