Knowing the limited time I have, I took today to adventure solo to a hike I have not yet done since most of the hikes so far have been the ones I've done at least twice each already. Doing Manoa Falls wasn't difficult at all - definitely a family friendly trail that leads to gorgeous rewards all around. Though the waterfall at the end of it was awesome, it was the lush green mountain and trees itself that left me feeling like I was in a scene from Jurassic Park or Avatar. The serene feeling of being surrounded by nature while meditating (since it had been awhile since I turned on my Calm app) put me at so much peace. I was really grateful for the time I spent there and it was a perfect way to start off the countdown for my last week here.
Later on that evening, I decided to do a quick run to my dance studio to take a Twilight Rooftop Nia class + Women's Yoga. Ugh. Both were so perfect. As my class took to the roof of our studio to dance as the Moon and Sun simultaneously rose and set in the sky, I can’t describe the awe, the liberation, the positive energy I felt as I moved to the beat of my soul. That's just it... how I've felt since I got to Hawai'i has been full of soul, intention, positivity. I've been the happiest and most relaxed and at peace that I'm just hoping that I will find ways that these feelings will last even after I leave this island.
As if that class wasn't fulfilling enough, I took Women's Yoga with Lee-Ann whom I actually have not met yet but so glad I got to for this class. We ended up going 30 minutes past the class' end time because we were so enveloped in talking about everything! Lee-Ann radiated such great energy and she's ABSOLUTELY rockin' her 40s. I swear, if I look remotely as young as she does when I'm in my 40s... I will be blessed. It was definitely a long and active day and I got home late with a lot of energy still. The only word to describe my first day of my sad AF countdown though... is: perfect.
