The last few weeks took everything I had to give, and then some.

There were no words to share; it was simply about doing what needed to be done. It was a solo affair, one I hadn’t imagined undertaking quite so independently. And yet, in many ways, that solitude prepared me. It made it easier to stay focused.

Some relationships remain strained.

The choices we make can carry a cost, and sometimes that cost is disharmony. But we are never truly in control of how others experience or perceive us. I learned that lesson in this work a long time ago. So I stay focused on finding peace in my own decisions. Clear in my heart-led path.

We landed.

Everything unfolded like clockwork. Remarkably so. Selling, relocating, logistically, it all flowed. The energy carried a rhythm that helped me stay in motion. It was exhausting, yes, but also exhilarating.

There’s been no time to rest. Unpacking, settling my son into kindergarten, and solving the endless stream of challenges you’re faced with relocating to a new country, it’s been non-stop. But day by day, I feel the tension slowly releasing. The enormity of this move has not been lost on me. It still feels completely surreal to be here, like I was witnessing this on a movie screen and it was someone elses life. But it’s mine. Now comes the time to process.

We’re in a beautiful rental until my home is ready. There’s a liminal quality to it, a sense of the temporary, but also a stillness, a void-like energy that invites me to just be. To acclimate. It’s not easy to be in this transition time. It’s without question the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Words don’t quite capture the magnitude of what I’m feeling.

I am grieving, though I’m not entirely sure what for.

I’m emotionally confused, physically depleted, but deep inside, it feels right.

I can see the life I want to create for my family here. And with each passing day, each conscious thought, I feel myself shaping it.

This is home. And I know that truth in my bones.

I didn’t expect this initiation to the Island to be a soft landing. It was never going to be walking straight into the idyllic life I’d imagined. There is work to do, energetically, physically, mentally, emotionally. It demands courage. Self-belief. Grit. Every day.

Being here alone, with just my son and my dog, both of whom have adapted so quickly I’m in awe, is a lesson in presence. In surrender for me.

I have a community to build, a home to design, a life to carve out.

I’m grateful for my own resilience, I need it now more than ever. Grateful for the flow and synchronicity that reassure me I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

When chapters end, the seeds of the new are found in the ashes of the old.

Over the weekend, a huge storm rolled in. Thunder and lightning rattled the villa and the rain was truly biblical. I felt the full weight of my own vulnerability. But today, the sun shines golden, and something inside me has cleared.

I must welcome these new patterns,even the wildness in the weather.

Because this is how she works, The Island.

The sounds, the smells, the language, all new. Everything is different.

We’re here. And there is nowhere else I’d rather be.

Time and distance bring a new perspective to so much. I’m changing in ways I hadn’t anticipated. It’s a rebirth that asks for full acceptance. It asks me to self-soothe, to stay soft in the face of all this change.

All is well.

With deep thanks to:

Caroline at Magic Car Pet Transfer, for taking such tender care of Angel.

Webbs Removals, who made the process of transporting everything to the island feel effortless.

Alysha, for being here in those first few days, for Mateo, and for me.

Uma, for her loving welcome, it was a reunion of souls.

And to the locals and international souls now crossing my path, helping me build this new circle of support.

These are my Soul Diaries, and this is my Golden Chapter…

Until next time,

Keep Rising in Love
