Find peace by knowing a version of you is living out every timeline you’ve ever faced.

This Magic Monday is a simple one, but it’s a perspective shift that’s brought me a lot of peace lately.

If you don’t know, I’ve been back in the States for several months now, and I can’t lie, I miss my old life in Asia. I’m so happy to be back home, but I’m still processing the fact that I’m kind of starting my life over. Let’s just say, it’s been a process – and a somewhat tough one. But the good news is that I’m feeling SO much better and excited for what’s to come. 🙂

Between the grief of closing a major chapter and the slow rebuild of my life, staying strong and positive hasn’t always been easy. But like my Gramma always says: Day by day.

And here’s what’s been helping – maybe it’ll help you, too.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about timelines; how we’re constantly choosing between infinite paths (or infinite timelines). And when we look back, it’s easy to doubt or miss the versions of life we didn’t choose. Do you ever ask, “Was that the right choice?!”

But what if those lives are still happening?
What if there are infinite timelines? And this one, the one you’re in now, is just one thread you’re consciously aware of?

It would mean that there’s a version of me still walking through the streets of Da Nang every morning.
Another one still working at KOMO TV.
Another one that made a life on Bali.
The list goes on…

Those versions of me are still out there, just on a different frequency. Maybe this is a bit woo woo, but I believe I still get to experience them all in some kind of way and that eases my mind.

So if you’re at a fork in the road, or sitting with a choice you already made, maybe this can bring you a little comfort: some version of you is living out every path you’ve ever faced! And this particular path/timeline? As hard as it might be sometimes, perhaps it’s the one that’s best for you right now.

Trust that your intuition led you here for a reason. And trust that all the versions of you are still living fully and joyously – even the ones you had to let go.

On a Personal Note…

Hello to you!! I hope you’ve been enjoying your sunny summer! It’s been a busy and exciting June and I’m so happy we’re just in the beginning of summer! So much more fun to come…

I’ve been going on some walks, hikes, and mini adventures and it has been so nice to see Spokane in a way I’ve never seen before. I also had a rush of nostalgia this past weekend because I attended Hoopfest, the largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the world. It took me right back to when I was playing basketball with my friends amongst thousands of other players! It’s been so nice to be outside and get back in touch with the activities and people I love!

I hope you have a beautiful and bright week ahead – and happy early 4th of July to you!

With love,
Andrea
