My next travel move

I've been feeling very lost lately.  Not knowing what to do or where to go.  I feel like I don't have much to keep me motivated anymore. 


For the past year or so, I was preparing myself to be an amazing girlfriend and to have a future life with the man I loved. I have to confess that since the end of my relationship with my former love happened, it has gotten me feeling out of sync with my life. I didn't realize how much of my time and energy I was spending on him when I was in a relationship.  

For example, going to church doesn't feel the same to me anymore.  It makes me depressed.  I would go to church every Sunday to pray to God to help protect him and keep him out of harm's way.  I also have a really hard time in the mornings when I wake up and not find a message from him. 

So, this happened...  

This past weekend, I got the opportunity to see the new movie "How to be Single" starring Rebel Wilson and Dakota Johnson.  For the most part, it's a very cute movie and definitely a fun chick flick to see with your girls.  In the last scene of the movie, the main character does something that she's always wanted to do.  And the over all message during that last scene is that being single is not the end of the world.  It shouldn't be seen as a negative thing. Instead, it is an opportunity to do the things you've always wanted to do because when you least expect it, this time to yourself will be gone.  

I walked out of the movie theater feeling inspired and determined to focus on the things I've always wanted to do.  Nothing is holding me back.  So, it hit me...I'm going to Spain and Portugal this summer!  It's time to get back to the things I truly love to do and traveling abroad is certainly one of them. From now on, I'm going to do the things on my to do list and take the time to actually be with myself for a while.  I'm always told the same thing over and over again from my married friends, or friends with their own children, "You're so lucky that you get to travel."  Another thing I'm told is "I live vicariously through your adventures." I telling you now...I am not going to disappoint my friends nor you.  It's time to get back to living that life that others wish they had.  Take advantage of the time and see and learn new things. 

I can't wait to see what lies ahead.  

Thanks for continuing to follow me on my new journey,

Mayra :)

Seeing the light

I'm sure you've heard of stories about other people having near death experiences they encounter when they find themselves in very dangerous situations.  I was watching a program as part of the Super Soul Sunday series of comedian Tracy Morgan talk about the accident that almost took his life about a year and half ago which happened on his drive home after doing a comedy show.  He talks about seeing his deceased father coming to him and telling him that he wasn't ready for him yet.  It made me think of my near death experience I had in high school.

Unanswered Prayers: Explained

When I was younger and naive, I used to pray a lot for the things I wanted and needed in my life.  A few years ago, I met a guy from an online dating site who I was certain he was the one for me. Over the years, I never truly understood why God didn't answer my prayers -- until now. It was very apparent to me that as this guy and I both grew up and live completely different lives; I noticed an overarching theme in his life where in the end, he has no inner peace in his life.  The drama in his life is still there as it was when I first met him many years ago but appear to be present in different ways.
