I don't believe that I have ever really been a materialistic person, even to the point where I used to be quite careless with my belongings. I must admit, though, that there was a time when I was very aware of my appearance, particularly fashion, but my priorities have heavily evolved in the last year or so, and I am much more comfortable solely relying on my energy, ideas, and conversations to now establish new relationships and 'impressions' for those who I now choose to surround myself with.
I guess this post comes to you with two main messages - one of detaching yourself from the material world, and another that everything truly does happen for a reason.
Recently in Croatia, I was ecstatic after buying myself an amazing, amazing umbrella... ;-) Even though I already owned an umbrella, it had begun to rust a little and had lost it's handle. It still worked perfectly, but - for some bizarre reason - I wanted a bigger and better umbrella. And, lucky me, I found one in Croatia that I purchased and created so much excitement and fuss over for the entire day afterwards.
I did acknowledge my excitement over this umbrella, and thought it to be unusual for this 'new me'. Shortly after I boarded a bus from Split to Dubrovnik, I began to feel that I was going to be taught a lesson, a lesson for how attached I had become to this umbrella, which I didn't even need in the first place. Funnily enough, as I began to grab my bags from the trunk of my hostel's land-lady's car, I realised that I had left my amazing, amazing umbrella on the bus...
Everything is perfect, I was being taught to re-assess my priorities and re-connect with my heart's true desires, and what is important to me right now. A little lesson.
Just something for you to think about...
love, love, love and light xx
