Permission to Be Forgotten

I am visiting Colombia, where my family is originally from. The purpose of the trip is to support my Dad, but as soon as I know I am traveling, the planning begins.  Remember we talked about goals and intentions?  For every trip, I start with a vision, then define intentions, and then take action to make the magic happen.

When I visit Colombia, I plan for work, the things I want to get done for Dad, to see family and get together with my BFFs from college.

Getting together with some family members was challenging. I understand everyone is so busy, but this made me start wondering if my ties to the country and people I love were fading?  What if I was being forgotten in “real life?”  I know it sounds dramatic, but that is not my intention, instead it lead to the opportunity to reflect.

In this episode I reflect on the question, “If I knew I was going to be forgotten, is there anything that I would do differently?”  Is there anything that you would do differently?

Join me as I share the treasures I discovered on my trip and what insights I am getting from my reflections.  I would love to know what you think about this question and what your answers are! Looking forward to your comments on FB or email me at [email protected].

Takeaways:

• If we are to be forgotten in the future, why not:

• Live our best life now and only you know what that is.

• Create the time to connect with those you love and care and tell them how much they mean to you, today!

• Remember your ancestors and share any stories with your family’s future generations.

• Take risks and make mistakes!  In time, these may be forgotten, but in the today may get you closer to your heart’s desire.
