Speaker 1: 1:10

If you are new to this podcast, you have never listened to Paradise Perspectives before. This is the podcast all about personal journeys, personal growth, personal development, fearless living. Personal growth, personal development, fearless living, manifestations, mindset change and travel, because what is life without a little travel, right, Anyways? So today's episode is special, and it is special not only because it is also special because it is so filled with little nuggets and things that I learned in the past two months of being in Portland Oregon and also things that I learned on my recent trip. 7 pm I'm sitting in this hotel room close to PDX, the Portland International Airport, and I just just arrived back from LA where I attended a Kathy Heller summit. Now, if you don't know who Kathy Heller is, kathy Heller is a famous podcaster and she is instrumental, I tell you, in me discovering more, about changing my mindset and believing more in abundance and creating abundance in my life, but also she is instrumental in me starting this very podcast. Anyways, I was there at a summit and I attended it and there was so much that happened that I discovered, that I realized and, anyways, it was just great.

Speaker 1: 2:51

Because of that trip, I was unable to prepare an episode for this podcast. I'm very ashamed to say I did not get the time to edit any of the previous recordings that I made, so I decided this episode. I'm going to just wing it and I'm going to share with you something that I shared with my email subscribers just a few minutes ago. So I'm going to read to you what I sent them, this email that I sent them, and I hope that it inspires you to go after the life that you want for yourself. All right, okay, so here we go.

Speaker 1: 3:31

My days in Portland have come to an end, and tomorrow I fly back to Samartan. I'm not sure if I'm ready. Neither do I know if I want to go back. This trip has given me so much to think about. It has been so emotionally altering. I learned so much about myself. I did scary thing after scary thing, continuously pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Tomorrow, I return to the Caribbean with a full heart, a few new friends and a million beautiful experiences.

Speaker 1: 4:05

Isn't travel just amazing? And isn't this why we do it? Portland has been nothing but life-changing. Being here for two months has given me an insight into the way of life in this country that countless visits in the past couldn't super. Fast internet, same-day prime delivery, doordash, uber and so many other conveniences that I'm sure Americans take for granted every single day. This truly is the land of convenience, as we islanders like to call the US. So the Twilight movies introduced me to this beautiful city. Did you know that most of the filming locations are right here in Portland and surroundings and not in Forex Washington like the books suggest? I fell in love, not with the vampire and the wolf, but with its stunning scenery and backdrop, the different shades of green, brown, red and yellow of Oregon.

Speaker 1: 5:06

In the fall, I felt a calling to be in Portland, a calling I could not explain until now. So, thanks to a friend, I recently had the pleasure of being part of the empowering two-day summit called it's Her Turn in Los Angeles, where I got to listen to some of the greats in the fields of mindset transformation and personal development. There was even a short musical performance by a singer whose song brings me to tears every single time I listen to it. I sobbed to her song Roses in the Rain after she shared the painful truth behind the lyrics, and I sobbed again when she sang her greatest hit straight out of the Twilight soundtrack, called A Thousand Years. You may have heard of it. As I sat in the audience bawling and doing the ugly cry watching the beautiful Christina Perri perform the song of all songs, I realized that I manifested all of this.

Speaker 1: 6:11

I remembered how, meditation after meditation I did back in January this year, visualizing myself in LA. I listed it as one of my goals for 2024, after missing last year's summit, and I added a photo of LA to my visualization board. It was my top 2024 dream and I opened myself to the possibility of this happening before the end of this year. The universe listened. I made it happen in the most magical of ways. I mentioned how I had a calling to go to Portland. I now know why it had to be Portland, out of all of the other cities in the world that I could have visited. I learned about the summit only after my arrival here in September. Had I not already been on the West Coast, I probably wouldn't have attended. The speakers were not announced until much later after my arrival here, so I had no idea Christina Perry would be amongst them, let alone that she would perform. My friend happened to work for the woman whose summit this was and she made sure I was added to the list.

Speaker 1: 7:22

Do you see all the coincidences and synchronicities? Do you see the different things that had to happen to make this a possibility? The universe delivers in the most magical way and often in ways that you never thought it would so darling. There is still magic in this world. Better yet, you deserve some of this magic. We're in November.

Speaker 1: 7:48

Enjoy the rest of what 2024 brings for you. There is no need to rush to the finish line. You still have time to reach the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of this year.
