Happy belated New Year, I’m back!
At the end of 2019 I was not sure if I wanted to continue blogging hence the radio silence. There were a number of variables involved from tackling past trauma that I had left unresolved for years, dealing with multiple health issues and overall just feeling disconnected, burnt out and unfulfilled. I decided, particularly in December and January, to step back, reevaluate, and soul search.
When it came to the blog I did not know how to translate what I wanted to share in an organic way anymore that didn’t feel forced and actually reflected me in the now. I kept coming back to the name, The Flourishing Hippie, because that’s who I am. I am constantly growing, evolving and changing just like everyone else. I am flourishing right now. It has been a season of growth that I am still processing but I am proud of the strides I’ve taken.
I am also a hippie, I have always felt this organic and passionate pull to the Earth and environment. I want to defend the Earth and the animals who have no voice against climate change. For the ecosystems that are falling apart because I am fully aware that if vegetation dies, there is limited oxygen and food for animals to eat including us. Dramatic I know but honestly it is true.
This year, this decade will be a little different here. I will still be sharing all the parts of life and art that I love from fashion, food, health and beauty, homemaking, travel etc still but with more intention. I want to share ways to be more conscious and sustainable. I want to strive and live with intention to be my best, effervescent, and happy self creating positive change that I hope in turn I can help and encourage others too.
So what are my 2020 Goals?
Living more sustainable, minimal, toxic-free and holistic
Finding a healthy balance; physically, mentally and emotionally
Continue to save money
Trying to shop strictly secondhand
Continue to travel more
