Follow the Fun
And so that’s what I decided. To follow the fun. Heaven help me if that’s not what I’d been doing all along but I gave myself permission to remove expectations or judgments of what life WAS supposed to be -and to embrace what IS.
That’s how we ended up here at the @relaismontblanc_ . I wanted to ease into the new year like Sunday morning.
Venus is in retrograde. I needed Beauty. Luxury.
The mountain air will clear my head. I said. And my heart. I needed time to think because somehow after this epic vacation I felt I was returning home to Venice changed.
As we were descending Mont Blanc my friend Lori said, “Look! The quote. Written on the glass.” I read aloud, “I was suffering from dizziness: I thought it depended on the fact that I was born on the sea. Then I realised that it was the prelude of love for the high ground. Up there lives a dizziness that touches you deeply and changes you.” Marco Missiroli.
He summed it up. How I felt. Changed. Not just in the mountains but this last month. Traveling. Alone. Meeting friends across France & Italy.
I felt like I was falling. Falling In love with myself. I’ve spend my life loving others. Years grieving my ex and the life I thought I would have. Maybe somehow always in pursuit of love itself. New boyfriends. New lovers who never really satisfied me. Wondering if I would ever meet #theone And finally I realized I am the one. I’m the one I should have been romancing all the time.
And so I treated myself. 5 stars. 4 days. In the Alps. Mont Blanc. The Mountains. I smiled. You know I love symbols. Mountains represent the journey. Transcendence. Spiritual elevation. The last days of vacation at the Relais Mont Blanc were a gift to my future self. The staff was incredible. The spa nurturing. Their GM Tiziana and F&B Manager Luca among the nicest people I’ve met on my travels.
The mountain. Mont Blanc. Surpassed expectations. How funny. I’ve traveled in nearly 60 counties and yet the most magical place I’ve seen was not man made- but it was there all along as God created it. The mountain was waiting. Somehow here at Mont Blanc I came home to me where I was waiting for myself.
