Love Styled Travel: The Mountains Called And Magic Happened

As many of you know, this past week I travelled to the magestic mountains of Colorado for a wedding of a dear friend who I haven't seen in over five years. And while the intention of the trip was to spend time celebrating with friends I love, I took the opportunity to take a vacation with myself and really reflect upon the deepest desires within my heart. So, for two days following the wedding...when my friends and all the guests had already left and gone home...I stayed in Estes Park and spent time writing, sleeping, touring, walking, and eating some of the most delectable food on the planet. It's important to note that by all accounts I SHOULD have left when everyone else left. I SHOULD have gone home a few days early to unpack, and unwind from a fun few days. But instead, after much debate with the fear and stress, I gave SHOULD the boot and stayed anyway.

The famous Stanley Hotel...the inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining, and famed to be one of the most haunted hotels in America. 

The oldest candy store in town with the most adorable fall display (Unfortunately they were closed while exploring )

Every year, Estes Park celebrates Elk Fest during the mating season of these beautiful creatures. The image is a little blurry, because you can only get so close to a male Elk in heat.

And...as always happens when you make the decision to honor yourself and your desires, MAGIC HAPPENED! Silently yet boldly, the inspiration for a new program was born. And I have to say, nothing has ever lit me up so much as what this program will do to up-level and transform your lives. This week I'll be putting the finishing touches on the details and sharing with you all next week (I can't wait to share all the details!). But until then, I hope you will take the time this week to give whatever SHOULD or SHOULDS have been pestering around your world the last few days/weeks/months/years the BOOT. Because when you do...I promise, the MAGIC will happen and your whole life will change!

Quoted: Travel & A Love Styled Life

There's so much that one can say about the blessings of travel, and I'm pretty sure that every poet alive has attempted to capture the essence of travel's infinite gifts. For me, travel has become both a lifeline and a sanctuary, illuminating my vibration in times of joy and recharging my soul when periods of fear and stress and anxiety creep through the cracks. 

And guess what? This past week was one of those weeks.

My mind and body were so completely tense and exhausted that my go-to list of self-care and relaxation techniques did nothing but add to the frustration of WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING! {have any of you ever experienced this too?!}

So...I packaged a bag, booked a train ticket, and headed to San Diego. And you know what? The instant I boarded the train platform, my heart started to pull back and set into ease. And by the time our train had arrived at the station in San Diego, my whole being was in a perpetual state of peace. With peace, love gets let back in...inspiration comes...and we can once again re-align ourselves with passion and purpose. 

Travel brings power and love back into your life
— Rumi

Rumi truly says it best: Travel {really does} bring love back into your life. And it's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about transformational excursions, intensives and retreats. They force us to travel and once again experience the love within our hearts. It's why I do what I do, and why I believe so very much in helping you create these experiences for both you and your clients. At the end of the day, just like travel, it's the journey that transforms us...and through this transformation, we ultimately change the world. #travelnow #livelovestyled #alovestyledlife
