Baggage Beauty



Every time I travel somewhere It seems to be impossible to fit everything in one bag. Most people can relate! There's been plenty of times where I've left with less, yet came came home with more. If you had to take a trip, knowing you could never return to the starting point, what would you fit? ..or better yet, what would you leave behind?

Life is the longest trip we will ever take. Often spent planning what we want to bring, overpacking or under packing. We speed or cut people off to get to the airport, only to realize our flight is delayed. When we reach our destination, usually exhausted, we often find that "paradise" was simply a creation of an outside influence; simply a place to spend wishing we could've done the things that matter most to us.

We all have a purpose, unique and influential. Find what you love, and do it. No matter how heavy your baggage, you can always leave things behind and pick up what you need on the way......

  1. So young, yet wise beyond your years. May you have and be what you were created to have and be - - taking along just enough of what you need while trusting that tomorrow will take care of itself. I am inspired by your presence in the universe!

    Be well and travel grandly as you are meant to.

  2. Find what you love, and do it. -- Definitely words to live by! I also love the idea of leaving behind baggage and picking up what you need along the way. Too often, people don't realize that they actually have a choice about what baggage/burdens they choose to carry. It's also about trusting and appreciating that life will provide what's needed if you're open to the lessons of each experience.
