This past month I had the opportunity to travel to Machu Picchu. Wow! Did that trip turn my vibration, my reality, my thoughts on their head.
As time slows down for a bit this summer, I encourage you to inspire your soul. Do something extraordinarily out of the ordinary that will make this summer one to remember.
Live your life. Be an interesting actor. Give yourself experiences that inspire your creative work as well as something to talk about other than who you know or what your working on. Your soul will thank you for it!
