Last night it hit me! As I laid in bed watching Bali travel vlogs, I had the aha moment! I’m finally going to Bali. I’m going to Bali at the beginning of the new year. Like for real-for real going! Like, tickets have been purchased, going! Villa fees have been paid, going! My suitcase it already packed, going!

If you can’t tell, I’m super excited!

My trip to Bali has been a long time coming. I always knew I was always going. Just didn’t know when.

Back in 2016, I made up my mind I was going to Bali. I watched the movie Eat Pray Love and just knew that’s where I needed to be. I connected with the character Liz Gilbert. She was literally a visual representation of my turmoil at the time. I figured if she went to Bali to find peace, then I needed to go too.

Months later, I got the opportunity to attend a writing boot camp in Bali. The writing boot camp was for two months. In my mind, I was like…” this is my moment, I manifested this”. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity, but there was a caveat. I had to come up with $ 30,000. Yes, you read that right $30,000. $30,000 included lodging, excursions, some meals, and coaching. Even with all the amenities, $30,000 was too much!

At the time, I had no job. I had my teaching 401K and unpaid bills. The day I realized I couldn’t afford the $30,000 price tag, I sobbed. I felt like I missed my moment. In my frustration, I made a promise to myself that I would go to Bali on my own terms and conditions. Years later, I had to trust the timing of it all. It wasn’t my time to go to Bali yet. I wasn’t in the mental space to enjoy Bali. I’m ready now.

In trusting the timing of things, sometimes it takes a little longer for manifestations to come true. The key lesson in waiting is having faith. As we wait…we must ask ourselves is it our time? If it’s not our time, will we make space to receive what we desire.   

Until next time,
