Soul Path Insights

My number one priority tomorrow is packing because sadly, vacation mode is almost over and reality is calling me back to LA. Suitcases are waiting, zippers are already dreading the squeeze, and I’m mentally preparing myself for the delicate Tetris game of fitting in souvenirs I probably didn’t need but definitely don’t regret buying.

This trip to New Zealand has been the reset I didn’t know I needed. The snow-capped mountains felt like they were breathing peace right into me, a sharp contrast to the constant hum of LA life. It’s been all laughter, inside jokes, and memories with family, the kind you know you’ll replay later when you’re stuck in traffic on the 405 and missing the sound of pure silence (well, except for sheep).

So yes, tomorrow’s task is simple: pack. But really, it’s more than that. It’s tucking away days of joy, moments of stillness, and snapshots of beauty into my luggage right alongside the sweaters and snacks. Going home feels bittersweet, but at least I get to carry a little bit of New Zealand back with me.

Thanks for reading and while you’re here, check out my book 17 Syllables of Me and my blog Soul Path Insights.
