  • 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 🌸. There are two kinds of people – those who are a drain on your energy and creative force, and those who give you energy and support your creativity, even with the simplest gesture, like a smile. Avoid the first kind. Be happy. Be who you want to be. If others don’t like it, let them be. Happiness is a choice – YOUR choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everyone.
  • Take your time.🌸🍀 Whatever is meant to be, will be. Stop rushing, chasing timelines, trying to get where you think you should be or be “by now”. As long as you allow the outside world to guide your behaviour, you cannot truly live for yourself. Approval seeking is a tiresome way to live. And with every choice you make in hopes that you’ll get the validations or external acceptance you seek, you’re led further astray. Get in the habit of asking yourself: “who is this for?” Do it for you. Do it for the sake of your own happiness. Do it for your soul. There are a million different life paths, there’s no “one way” to live that makes you better or worse than anyone else. Give up comparing and striving. We’ve all got shortcomings. Even the perfect life has problems, so stop looking out and go in. Just be yourself and let the people you love be themselves. 
Sounds simple, and it is. 
This life is fleeting. Being someone you’re not is exhausting and wasteful. You have unique gifts to offer the world, and your pathway to delivering those gifts is to walk in the direction your heart guides you. Turn off the voices of the judge and the critic in your mind. Let go of your stories, let go of what other people think or don’t think.. it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that when you wake up in the morning, and go to sleep at night, you feel a sense of home within yourself. That each day you feel a connection to something greater than you, and find peace with your inner-knowing. That you learn to trust in yourself and remember, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

  • Attraversiamo - meaning ‘let’s cross over’ in Italian, usually used when crossing the street or passing through. I discovered the word while reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Eat Pray Love 6 years ago. This word stuck to me, especially during hard times. • I have been open and honest in the last few months/years about my journey. 2019 came with so many challenges; my mind finds it hard to comprehend. There were numerous times during these last few months when I felt as though I was holding on to a cliff’s edge and running out of patience and strength. At times the Universe pushed me to test my limits, before releasing the force and letting me flow back to normality, where I felt safer, more stable and in control again. • As individuals, we each have our way of perceiving life, our way of distinguishing between what is essential and what is not. I had to make incredibly hard decisions about my life lately, and it was not easy. But I guess that is part of life; it is like looking through a glass window - if the tint is blue then the world appears blue, if it’s black then the world too ‘becomes’ black. If you want to see poverty, you see it. If you're going to see/feel loneliness and sadness, it’s what you get. If you want to see happiness, you can see that too. • I have no idea what the next few months will be like, but I have this peace in my heart that I will be okay. Even when I am as scared as hell. All I know is that I’ve never been one to give up anything. I understand that this is meant to be because I meditated about it and have peace in my heart. I have faith that everything will work out. 🙏🏻 • • • #LorindasWorld #LVTravel #LVTravelJourney #MyParisDiaries #LVinParis #travelawesome #love #zara #nastygal #travelblogger #traveller #travelstoke #travelgram #wanderlust #photographer #mytravelgram #traveladdict #travelphotography #instatravel #myparisdiaries #ParisTravel #parisparis #sacrecoeur #montmartre #girlslovetravel #sharetravelpics #girlsborntotravel #TravelStoke #FemmeTravel #traveldreamseekers #DamesTravel
  • When life gives you lemons, make it better with CHANEL 🍋🍋💫 • Fun fact // CHANEL no.5 is known to have a universal pop-culture appeal. From Marilyn Monroe saying a few drops of Chanel N°5 was all she wore to bed to Andy Warhol’s silkscreens of the bottle, its popularity is unparalleled. Even when Paris was liberated, there were endless lines of American soldiers waiting to get the perfume to bring home to their wives.

  • Getting lost will help you to find yourself. Travel often. Life is about people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion. • Pic by @leandri_perry_photography taken at @clivedenhouse. • Fun fact // did you know that Meghan Markle spent her last night before marrying Prince Harry at this luxury Buckinghamshire hotel? ღ ☼ ☽ #LorindasWorld #LVTravel #LVTravelJourney #LVJourney #SelfLove #travelphotography #visitUK #femaleempowerment #Solotravel #FemaleSoloTravel #WomenEmpower #sheisnotlost #girlslovetravel #sharetravelpics #girlsborntotravel #TravelStoke #FemmeTravel #DamesTravel #girldiscoverers #travelinladies #WeTravelGirls #thetravelwomen #digitalnomadgirls #girlgoneinternational #freewandress #femaletravelbloggers #girlstraveldiary #cliveden #clivedenhouse #clivedenhousehotel #VisitUK
  • My best friend reminded me this weekend again of an essential part of self-love, which I think slipped my mind while I was busy trying to serve and please other people: ”It doesn’t matter what other people think of you. All that matters is what you think of you.” I am so thankful for that reminder because it is so easy to fall into a box that somebody else had put you in. Those labels don't help you; they help them. I had to step out of that box again finding me, my voice, my purpose, what happiness & success looks to me - not someone else. The most powerful part of it all is; when you own your breath, nobody can steal your inner peace 🙏🏻💫 ღ ☼ ☽ #LorindasWorld #LVTravel #LVTravelJourney #LVJourney #SelfLove #travelphotography #visitUK #femaleempowerment #Solotravel #FemaleSoloTravel #WomenEmpower #sheisnotlost #girlslovetravel #sharetravelpics #girlsborntotravel #TravelStoke #Gosport #Marina #Yachts #FemmeTravel #DamesTravel #girldiscoverers #travelinladies #WeTravelGirls #thetravelwomen #digitalnomadgirls #girlgoneinternational #freewandress #femaletravelbloggers #girlstraveldiary
