Sauna Yoga Inhale Coffee Exhale

 

January 9, 2025

This morning I woke up at 7:30 am and I was prepared to enjoy the Infrared Sauna, which was my first time using it and it was fantastic followed by a cold shower. I did some light yoga and then proceeded to the Hearth Café to get some fresh bread and a flat white. It was just blowing my mind again this café had these beautiful san dwiches-a healthy version of a BLT, a Reuban, vegetarian, and all types of amazing bread and French pastries. The $9 French croissant(that is correct $9 Australian, which is like $6 USD), but I calculate off Australian due to the principle of the price.

Eventually I will have to try that croissant before I leave one time, but I had to be disciplined this time so I got some fresh sourdough and went back to make my breakfast.

I spent sometime talking with Kathy who is from Austria and living/working in Australia. She plans to go to India in March along with another person there traveling to Rishikesh to do yoga, ashram, and find themselves spiritually. She took a few people on the trip to the waterfall and she never mentioned it to me, but I really feel like everything happens for a reason.

When they came back from the waterfall, I felt disappointed because I did not go with everyone, but I was not present when they decided to go. The dynamic with myself and people younger is not forced, but it is not super comfortable with these younger generations.

What am I trying to say? The energy with me and the younger generation was a bit forced and kind of awkward and I did not go the waterfall. Instead I spent a magical night with older, mature, fun, free spirited, life experienced, beautiful people….and this was the place I was supposed to be.

You can’t have it all in life and you can’t get along perfectly with everyone. While I am super extroverted and very well liked, I do have a bit more energy and personality that can be overwhelming for people who are more introverts and on the younger generation.

It was meant to be….everything that happens does happen for a reason…When you believe this, you let go and let GOD.

God might make you feel alone and you can’t wonder why it’s happening, but God has a plan or you. He wants to surround you with people who make you feel loved, supported, listened to, and acknowledged. You are meant to travel to destinations unknown and you have the right people come on your path to make it a real adventure.

The end of Thursday and a time to enjoy the evening being productive!

Stimulate the Mind and Feel with the Heart

When two intellectual minds come together, two people who have traveled, live life to the fullest and have the same lens on life-it is magical.  This often happens in cultural exchange traveling where you just sit and connect for hours talking about life philosophies, relationships, shared experiences, living abroad, and travel. It is like how will others understand the depth of your traveling and these incredible discussions that take place....how will people understand that THIS is what travel is all about and its not about 5 star hotels, expensive meals, big tours, and spending time with tourists the whole trip.  It is about having this experience with a local intellectual-two minds coming together and sharing a space where you speak comfortably and freely.  We started off speaking about relationships and releasing labels of "perfection" to find someone that you are compatible with and can enjoy life with He is recently widowed from a wife who took her own life an...

Dinner and Cricket

 After a day of exploring the small city of Gracev a city built by William Taylor with a cute Regal cinema, a nice deli, Lick Gelato, cafes, and restaurants. I stopped by Hunter and Scott for a blueberry muffin and a latte with coconut milk. They were not very friendly first telling me that it was only available for Take away and then I came back and found a whole beautiful back patio. The girl invited me to sit in back, but the other one was not so friendly-a slight pretty woman moment, which has happened a lot the past year or so. It was an adorable city and I loved Hunter and Scott- I definitely wanted to revisit. I went back to the mall to do some shopping, which was decently successful and I loved the Big Coles grocery store that was perfectly cleaned and stocked all the time. The one by where I am staying was pretty sad.  I was going to see a movie alone-one of my favorite things to do while traveling, but I decided to head back and hang out with Steven. He had the crock...

Museums, Libraries, River and More

Good morning Brisbane! It is supposed to be a heatwave coming towards the coast for the next few days.  I was all prepared layered in sunscreen, hat, and umbrella ready to go.  I took the train to Auchenflower, which was the stop to catch the ferry. The wonderful thing about Queensland is that 8 months ago they made all the train fares 50 cents per way, which means you can go to Gold coast and Sunshine coast for 50 cents- finally some value for Priscilla!  I think I mentioned this already, but an Indian will always be proud about saving money.  It seems that in the big cities in Australia- they have the  beautiful suburban areas. The suburban area I am currently staying in is pretty nice. It varies per street, but overall his block is very nice. The house is lovely with two levels and it is right next to the park-very nice.  The areas nearby Graceville, Toolong, Indirapally are quite lovely neighborhoods with a lot of great cafes, restaurants, markets, and ...
