A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
Was anyone else feeling blah the past few weeks?
As someone who doesn't quite understand astrology, I’m sure one of the planets was out of whack because I was definitely feeling it.
I was having one of those weeks where it’s like:
What am I doing with my life?
Should I be doing more?
I’m also kind of tired and feel spread thin.
But then I’m also simultaneously a little bored…?
I was just all over the place.
Well, rewind.
For the past few weeks, Kyle and I have been saying we want to take a weekend and go do “adult Disney”.
If you’ve never done adult Disney at Disney World or Disneyland, this is your sign to do so.
No kids
Leisurely walking
No rushing
Lots of food (rubs belly here)
Cocktails (of course)
Waking up organically
Leave when you want
Sit-down meals (biggest Disney flex)
I don’t consider myself a Disney “freak” (Nicholas and Kevin, I see you), but there’s something about Disney that brings me back to center.
Maybe it’s reconnecting with the child (baby Aly) in me that feels good.
(Insert: turns both palms up connecting thumbs and middle fingers with eyes closed and smiling here)
After weeks of going back and forth making excuses (you know I hate that) as to why we can’t go, I finally had one of those female meltdowns to Kyle (ladies, you know…) and of course, he said, "WE'RE GOING!" - thanks, boo!
We even decided we were going to become annual pass holders because hello, we live in south Florida, and it’s a quick getaway that we enjoy. That’s beside the point.
We also convinced my parents, who are in their young 30+40's to go too (ha-ha!)!! I wasn’t sure if they would enjoy “adult Disney”, but we definitely talked it up.
And boy did we deliver!
(Sorry Mom & Dad for making you guys go on the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride after a day of drinking and eating. Amateur move. I now know better.)
As we took the ferry boat to Epcot day one, both of my parents' faces completely lit up - children again - yeah, Kyle and I saw you guys!
We had the BEST time!
We started the day with champagne.
We walked (drank) around the world at Epcot.
We took our time at Magic Kingdom riding rides with short lines (all of them, “magically” - thank you, Universe!)
Went back in time at Hollywood Studios where we basically watched live audience shows all day with one or two rides…
and it was SO FUN!
Okay Aly, what are we getting at here? Are you in partnership with Disney or something?
Hah! I wish… $$$
As I said, I was feeling like I had scrambled egg brains the last few weeks and just couldn’t get aligned with anything I was doing.
I was slow at the salon, I’ve had mega writers block with the blog and my book… Sorry, I know you’ve all missed me - a lot.
I knew I needed a reset.
Everything kept telling me,
take a break, reset and go to Disney because that makes me feel back to 'lil Aly again and helps me get back to my roots.
Roots meaning what brings me joy.
Let me tell you, when we got there, I felt complete and utter joy the entire time, and it was exactly what I needed to get back to center and aligned.
When we came back, Kyle got some clarity on career related things, and I was able to get focused on what I was meant to do and what brought me joy (actually, I think we both got that).
Although I wasn’t putting a conscious “ask” to the universe to help bring me to Disney World, I was in a complete energetic alignment with it happening.
I just “felt”...
I just want to go to Disney, I just want to go to Disney…
Without truly understanding why until after we got back.
And because I was completely aligned with going, the universe opened up the quickest, easiest way it knew how, allowing:
Kyle to get time off last minute
My work schedule being flexible
My parents were free
I found the cutest, most affordable, roomy condo to rent for us
It was perfect, exactly what I desired, and the universe delivered - as it always does.
So, thank you, Universe for a beautiful trip to get me back in the groove!
PUT IT IN YOUR UNIVERSE:
If you’re feeling “out of whack” aka: not aligned…
Write, type, or acknowledge three things that your heart is calling for you to do (even if it feels “ridiculous” or “unattainable”
Write or type down how doing/having those things would help shift your energy. What joy would it bring you? Why would it make you feel that way?
FEEL like you’re doing/holding that thing for 2 minutes (set a timer)
Have faith it’s coming - and let it
You got this!
