A year ago I took a journey to California to learn how to build a Super Adobe. With strangers from all over the country and world, we spent 4 days together learning how to work together. We figured out each others strengths, weaknesses, and learned about each lives and dreams. It was mentally and physically exhausting. I left with tears in my eyes. I didn’t realize how emotional I was going to feel. These strangers became friends. It was an experience I will never forget. I was also there while it was my birthday and a really amazing friend called me and sang happy birthday to me. One of the best gifts I have ever received. These 4 days also were a time for me to release. To release what was no longer serving me. I wrote down several things to release. I buried one. I threw another into the ocean. Another one I burned. Then I threw one into the wind. Rumi said: “If you love love, love yourself.” I have cried thousands of tears…facing the truth of yourself is the most difficult thing I’ve had to do. But I wouldn’t change anything, past nor present. Henna by @gopihenna
