Early morning, just after sunrise at Tirta Empul, the holy water blessing. To sit in silence and absorb it all was magical 🙏🏼 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #thetrufflejournal #explorebali #beautifuldestinations #wearetravelgirls #dametraveler #goingplacestogether #instagood #bestvacations #darlingescapes #girlsborntotravel #sheisnotlost #travel

I think it’s safe to say I have eaten my way through beautiful Bali. I am so in love with this place that I know before I have left, that I will return.

The two best travel partners I could have asked for. My favourite human and @fombrand.

Happy women’s day to all of the amazing women out there. Remember that you are truly magnificent and that you are made of star dust. That this lifetime is yours for the taking and that you are the matriarchs and life givers of this world. Be gentle and self loving toward yourself and others. It’s time for the feminine divine, it’s time for healing and nurturing. It’s time for the strength of a woman not to be feared but to be praised and celebrated. To all of you readying this - you are the moon and stars 🌙✨ I am so lucky to share my journey with you. I am currently in Bali praying for all those women fighting for their lives in Lombok. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #thetrufflejournal #feminist #womensday #feminine #womensday2018 #prayforlombok

I can’t believe how it can all change in a second. All of it. Life on life’s terms. You could be brushing your teeth, eating dinner or watching a football game when with a single moment, a phone call or a conversation nothing will ever be the same again. The moment where you need to step up. Think clearer. Move faster. Be softer or simple sit and breath. Deep, long, belly breaths. Then cry.
I’m sharing this empty cracked plate with you because I felt sharing a full one at a time like this wasn’t fitting. With so many are suffering loss and pain at the moment I thought of this plate. Not only for the damage it has endured but for the beauty in its repair. It’s only as beautiful as it is because of what it has gone through. My prayers are with the people of Lombok tonight. I feel your fear and I’ve seen your loss. I can’t even imagine what you are going through. If you want to make a difference. Visit the link in my bio and donate. Let’s stand together and support those who in a second, it all changed for them. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #earthquake #lombokearthquake #indonesiaearthquake #prayforlombok #indonesia #brokenandbeautiful #disasterrelief
