Welcome....
Many years ago, in front of a computer screen I was forced to decide whether I needed to complete my Media Studies degree or embark on a new adventure and enroll in an Alternative medicine course of some sort since I felt that was the path to follow....
Unfortunately, at the age of 22 confidence was not exactly my strongest point and the fear of failure, ( I thought I was to old to quit! I find that hilarious now!) And not meeting people's expectations made me choose the safest road... (So I thought..). I finished my Media Studies degree.
I do not know, if that is how things were meant to happen, or realistically I just lost some of my precious time and energy doing something I was not 100% passionate about. Looking back I did learn things and meet wonderful people that luckily enough are still in my life.
I guess that was my first "flash", appreciate what I had and stop focusing on the "ifs", I needed to take action.
In the summer of 2008 after spending, what I considered to be, the best summer of my life I decided that it was time to follow the "signs" given to me, so I asked for information and finally picked Barcelona as the city where I was going to study Naturopathy!!. I was not sure whether that was exactly what I wanted since there are so many interesting alternatives therapies but I knew that was "my beginning".
Since there were things I needed to sort out I decided to start this adventure as a distance student. Yes I did. It may not sound as the most clever thing to do, I was going to miss out on the teachers, fellow students and all the spontaneous and enriching exchange of information you only get in class!. I knew that, but again back then confidence was not my strongest point and I thought I was not ready to step out of my confort zone and deal with the things I needed to deal with... but I started the course!.
Two years had to go by, between trips for exams and intensive weekend courses for me to decide that I needed at least to do my final year in Barcelona. Do not worry, I will not be writing on all my ups and downs prior my trip.
I arrived to this city with a full bag of "leftover" emotions from an interesting Christmas and New year's eve, but I did it!. A few months had gone by and I'm at the last period of my journey.... I still don't have my level of confidence at my highest ( will I ever?), BUT I finally decided to have some courage and create this "space" to share all the wonderful information and knowledge I have been very lucky to come across with in the past couple of years but specially on the last couple of months.
I feel I have become more aware of who I am and all the wonderful possibilities I have ( we all have) around me/us. I have shared lovely experiences with my beloved ones ( thanks for being always there, you know who you are) and with complete strangers that are now part of my list of favourite people.... I love this beautiful circle of inspiring and getting inspired by..
I do not know where this is going to take me, but I am willing to give it a chance... WELCOME and enjoy it! ;)
