24/7 Trip

Updated: Oct 20, 2023

JULY 24 is the day I was born into this world with a paintbrush of my own (Leo thought) . Throughout the year leading up to this NEW AGE (I can't tell my age, leave some mystery for the mind they say) I did some deep internal work(removed some things about life that didn't mirror the abundant self expression and added experiences that kept the smile going), I took a view in the mirror to see what creative flowers have had good soil to blossom, and what creative ideas needed a place to be planted and blossom beautifully. I also took on a risk that took me further away from my year 2023 goal; yet and still in my own mental garden it was a heart decision that needed to be planted and blossom. That decision will settle just fine in the future garden that I'm creating, so all is well. I am a true follow your heart aura with great intelligence that always land in the riches that only the Great Spirit can create.

I've always been a highly imaginative dreamer and doing things that I want to do have always made me feel empowered. It's the sovereign mind within that always stay with the heights NO MATTER WHAT! When I get with something I stick to it until it moves in the world as the Great Spirit intended. I've been learning the power of deciding and executing from the heart without listening to the fears of the forces around me(it's a muscle that needed to be strengthened). I'm happy to see this year unfold so beautifully with all of the ground work I've done.

To celebrate all of the achievements at whichever size they came I ended up in the land of the Puerto Ricans. What a beautifully landing! It was a blessed breeze there that took me everywhere my soul needed to be. Right before we(Izhanah and I) landed on the land. It was in me to learn some of the history behind certain events so I read stories online, but in my mind it was highly contradicting so I was on a quest to organize a truth in my mind. Izhanah too was educating herself in her own way, she would watch this cartoon called Alma who would intensely involve herself in her Puerto Rican culture. Our worldschooling was finally beginning.


When I first arrived at the airport, Izhanah and I were picked out to stand in the clear line to escape the TSA lines to go straight through to catch our flight. I've been good in the earth is all I thought because my karma was showing up in all of the goodness which made me feel incredibly loved/blessed.


That was only the beginning of the magic, come Retake the trip with my memories...

(Click on the photo to see our mini flight moment in video) The flight, however I showed up on the plane with Izhanah- it was seen. The elder in front of me turned around after the flight to say "you are such a good mother" and added a verse towards Izhanah affirming it for the second time "You have such a good mother"

I said Thank You to our elder with my hand on my heart taking in the beauty of her aura with a thanks for seeing/confirming my prayers.

(Click on the picture to see a video of the Mood House) We arrived at the Mood House (It was architecturally appeasing) my heart went out to the creator in love. I was grateful I choose this location to bring in my bornday. It felt like home, uniquely designed, vintage/timeless, luxurious, cozy and natural. Like as if it was designed just for me.

We rose on 24/7 (The Date I took my first inhale on earth) I scheduled for an in room massage which was the best 1hour of my life. The selected massage therapist for me was made with an intuitive touch(knowing exactly what to touch and how much pressure to add). This photo was taken at the end because Izhanah knew I was finished and wanted to be close to me again. I laid there for a good 5/7minutes to take it all in up to this exact moment.

(Click on the photo to see the video for the statement photoshoot) We were up, dressed to live inside the day and ready for some statement photos. My phone notified me of all of sweet messages all at the same time.(Grateful for all of the LOVE) Continuing, The statement was called 24/7 into infinity with peace. I wanted to mark this memory to always live out the beauty of my mind 24/7 as peace and love lingers alongside into infinity.

We later coasted to the DW (Mood House Headquarters) where they served plant base dishes. I had my first dose of coffee while there with almond milk(not a coffee drinker but something warm with the guava porridge and berry French toast sounded like a gift) Izhanah didn't eat much she only had room for an orange, a bit of coffee and sight seeing.

It was now time for the water that connects us (Atlantic Ocean) while at DW I spoke to a sister from los angles who was there to spend time in Puerto Rico as well, she informed me there was a number of festivals going on and the beach(good for Izhanah)with the lower tides was Condado Beach which was not far from where we were. We placed the location in the gps and appeared on sight with ease. Sigh a need to relax with the waves and a joy to witness how happy playing in the sand made my baby feel was all of what happened. I lived in a pampering moment, exfoliating my entire body with sand and afterwards marrying the most beautiful waves in the ocean, allowing it to cut out the weeds in my garden from the root and replenish the necessary minerals needed to nurture the planted seeds. It was like that!

 

Can you believe I made a mistake and deleted all of the photos in my phone (leaving me with the only photos I posted in my Instagram story) that were just so magical and sweet, it was as if the great spirit gave me the sweetness in every moment on the onward journey. I said wow, I felt the tears in my heart so I went deeper and gave thanks over and over. It didn't upset me to lose the photos because I was quickly shifted in the mind to embrace all of the beauty that actually took place and THAT made me smile. I now know how to backup photos after each photo is taken (learned lesson).


 

Skipping forward to this moment (Day 3) we were in the old town of San Juan. As we were roaming the streets, I heard "Linda" sung out loud with a joyful noise attached to it. The brother who sung this tune stop me and introduced the song before he introduced himself. He shared with me the song was created with the intention to keep the black race lifted, to magnify the beauty within the black race and to share our connectedness on whichever land we reside. The song is named Las caras lindas

Song by Ismael Rivera. The brother and his daughter(I suppose) was a precious part of the magic in my mind. He asked if Izhanah and I could take photos for memory sake and it was beautiful moment so why not.


(Click on this photo to see the video) Later this day (this is where I take out the highlighter) we ended up in Loiza. The lively festival via the storm. This is the story that I found contradicting (background story of this festival) so I landed in Pablo art studio who shared with me great details about the story behind the Saint James Festival. Don't say that I didn't warn you but this brother is rewriting the story to help shape the narrative to give the black race a more aligned and beautiful story to celebrate which was a relief to hear. (You have to read about the saint james featival and how it came about in your free time to see what I mean). Here I came to hear the Bomba, the Salsa, the black stories and it's truth through the breeze, the natives life before invaders and to know where life stands in the now after all. I got bits and pieces of it being that the storm had its way to clean up the earth on the days the festival took place. It was still sooooo beautiful to be in the mist of such a resilient culture.


 

On the last day we took it easy, I looked in the mirror of the past and saw it was great and knew the journey was getting better and sweeter as this life continues to share its oxygen with me. IM GRATEFUL..... and as always, spirit knows (there's more to infinity ♾️)


I want to leave this love note for my readers-

GO FOR IT, all of the goodness! However it is seen in the heart and aligned with the Greatest Spirit
