Follow your Heart

y life changed almost overnight. Life had become heartbreak after heartbreak for me – this was December 2014. My mum had passed away months ago, there were challenges at the job I once loved, my best friend and I went our separate ways in life, and a recent relationship had just fallen apart. It was in the depth of all these heartbreaks that something changed in me. I vowed to follow my heart, listen to my intuition and be authentic in my expression every day. After that shift and commitment to a different life and a different self, things started to rapidly improve. I quit my job, started focusing on selflove and slowing things down. I would ask myself what my heart desired on a regular basis. I was more creative; starting with a ‘mind map’ of all the countries and places therein I wanted to visit in life and in the coming months to years. I recently made a new friend, who in the coming year became one of my best and most loyal friends. My health and wellbeing began to improve, with daily journalling, blogging, juicing, fasting and morning workouts and yoga. I had clarity in my focus; I started a new business and planned to expand my make-up business and other ideas, dreams and goals. Each morning and evening I would look at my vision board and get really excited and connect to my heart and faith in my ability to manifest my heart’s desires. In five short weeks, I had sold up all I didn’t need and manifested the money to go overseas alone to nine countries, over an 8-week period. I started a new blog ‘Traveller Destiny’ and had ideas jumping out of me for books, blog entries, visions and a zest for life. I had been learning Italian in my spare time and having a tutor. Really following my passion and whatever my heart called to me to be present with. Over the course of four years as a nomad, I visited 13 countries; shortly living in four different countries, while studying multiple modalities, and honing my intuition. From the snow of European winter, to the tropics of Hawaii, and swimming with

wild dolphins, I had some incredible experiences; hitch hiking across Australia from Brisbane to Uluru; having the pleasure of seeing the Great Pyramids of Egypt and riding a camel to the Sphinx; humbling to see the place Buddha was born and witnessing a prayer ceremony on the Ganges River in India; I played with monkeys in Bali and Paraglided above the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal; hiking mountains in Sedona Arizona and Mexico adding to the highlights and visiting some of the amazing pyramids there also. Now I am living on the Sunshine Coast of Australia, with my beloved partner and 3-monthold baby boy. We are blessed to be right on Noosa River, renting a holiday apartment full-time; having regular boat trips and weekly dips in the spa. I have amazing clients and still get to be creative and follow my heart, from painting to dancing and online events. I absolutely love being a mum, as it was a dream of mine since I was 16, and my partner is so supportive of our family, our dreams and living a heart-created life. From the vast experiences I have had over the past six years, following my heart from the wonderful to crazy and back to basics, being grounded and doing many mundane actions on the daily. SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ARE:
• Live with gratitude daily/count your blessings. • Trust your heart (no matter how crazy it seems). • Honour those who see you, accept you and trust you with their truth and vulnerability. • Find the magic in the mundane. • Know you create the masterpiece of your life with every brushstroke of choices you make. • Believe in your dreams and your desires with great commitment. • Be whom you wish to see in the world. • Aspire to love yourself more and more each day. www.facebook.com/FaeofDestiny www.spiritualeventsdirectory.com
