I came across Soul Pancake today, a very cool website with the motto: “chew on life’s big questions.” They have a creative challenge posted to: “list three experiences you’ve had, that you wish every single person could have.” Cool. It only took a second for me to decide I was up to the challenge. This is such a fantastic exercise in gratitude and I’ve been super nostalgic lately so I took it all as a sign. 

So here is mine. This picture is of Angela and me in Tulum, Mexico in 2007, I believe. Shiny. Hot. Completely happy. For me Tulum is really a riff on the hippie girl road trip. It is a very sacred place, and holds sacred connections for me. I’ve been 4 times and hope to return soon. I became a Reiki master there, swam naked in the ocean for the first time (I said hippie!), celebrated my graduation from nursing school, and visited with Angela, which is always soulful, twice. There is truly a magic in the air and water in Tulum that is indescribable, and I’m pretty sure the feeling of pure love. A funny thing I’m just now realizing…I may not have adopted Tulum as one of my soul vacation spots if it weren’t for Suryo, one of the teachers I reference in #3. Oh how everything is connected. So with that I hope you’ll get connected too! 
 

Now it’s your turn. Add your list of 3 as a comment, or if you want to do a picture (which is super fun, you should totally do it!) you can email it to ilovemore@chooselovemore.com and we’ll collect and post them. And do check out Soul Pancake too…lots of great inspiration over there.

Fun fact: Rainn Wilson (most notably from The Office) is the genius behind Soul Pancake. How awesome is that? A spiritual quote he tweeted a few months ago caught my eye, so I’m not really surprised. Love it!
