Today’s theme can be summed up with one word: gratitude.

I learned a valuable lesson, to accept and honor the experiences that have molded me into the woman I have become.

Let me tell you about my day.

I left my wonderful airbnb in Dublin at 900 in the morning. I was on the road by 9:30. Stinky mouthed flirting boy was there, this time he did his hair and looked like he showered.  He was too excited to see me. I almost vomited when he opened his mouth.

Jesus take the wheel.

It  is easier to drive on the left then everyone led me to believe. I’m a fantastic driver so I knew the switch would be easier for me.

I drove almost two hours to a place called Cashel Rock, which is a giant Cathedral/Castle/Ruins out in Cashel.  Driving those narrow streets was insane. Between trying to figure out where I was going and following the GPS, I almost hit someone. First time in my life.

After Cashel I was incredibly exhausted and drove another two hours over to Kinsale, which is in county cork, it is a beautiful seaside town that is rather adorable. You know one of those poster card places you want to spend the rest of your life as a granny in? Yeah, it is one of those.

I still can’t believe that my hotel room is THIS nice. Booking through Discover Ireland was probably the best decision I have made on this trip so far.  Honestly, Nothign makes me happier than a lush bathroom and comfortable bed with fluffy sheets and this one has it all.

I had a revelation between driving alone, walking around, alone,  and letting my thoughts over take me.

I am unstoppable.  I am magic. I’ve spent so much of my life being ashamed of so much, and really it was just voices in my head and voices of supposed family members in the pat who never made me feel good enough or loved.

I am a queen. I went from being a homeless teenager with my mother and brother in Florida to accomplishing so much in my life.  And honestly, I give no fucks. I have nothing to apologize for, and EVERYTHING to celebrate. I am powerful. The universe has always looked out for me because I have an inner drive and belief in myself every since I was little.

You can’t fuck with me.

Sure, it has gotten muddled along the way, but the Truth has always been inside of me, guiding me.

I must embrace this powerful goddess and honor her, trust her instincts, voice and needs. This trip is all about being selfish and doing what I want. It is the greatest present to myself.
