All is now well with the Hawaiian. In fact it's better than it was before... I just had to take a little leap down an experiential lane I'd heard about. I'll share more below. β
Be Revolutionary,

Ps. 'The Initiation'... no wonder I came up with this name. π
ππ½ This course teaches you how to manage your emotional roller-coaster, and use your emotions to fuel positive decision making, create firm boundaries and clear the decks of what does and doesn't serve you. Result: it will help you sift and sort your internal world.
In a progressive world, we have indeed become better communicators and open minded to how relationships can work. Nothing is off limits these days - and I feel this is great. May the old societal construct of a nuclear family be dissolved! And instead, let's have this as a personal preference rather than a norm.
I thought it was an Ubudian thing, as I've been living in Ubud for over a decade now. A town known to be full of Peter-Pan's and where polyamory is as common as coconuts. But to be fair, even when I was in Sydney the same conversations are happening over there.
Everyone's just exploring.
And why not? π We do live on a planet of earthly delights. β Until it's not so delightful.
Influence:Recently I've been hanging out a lot with a friend who's in a polyamorous relationship.
As soon as I found out I turned to them and said... "Wow! I could never do that."
Experimentation:But of course over time you hear stories, how conflict is resolved and deeper connection made through authentic relating and positive communication. On a level, it's very mature to be able to explore emotions and connection openly in that way.
β¨
I'm a pretty good communicator. I love relating, exploring emotions, behaviours and bringing harmony and deep connection into relationships.
But opening up this door to full disclosure of everything while dating.
Way too much for me. π
Even the Hawaiian was like "... Ok, if you want me too."
... I think he knew better than I did.
So now I have another story to tell you of how I jumped into the fire π₯
And promptly back out again lol...
But the thing is, you never know until you try. If you simply sit on your hands and wonder - one day you might look back and wish you did it anyway. Even if it did cause extreme pain and discomfort... β Hmm... π or maybe I'm simply a masochist for your reading pleasure lol.
Growth always happens one way or another outside of your comfort zone.
β
I made it though the fire! π
β βπΌ TAKE ACTION: Reply to me... what's the one thing you've thought about doing in a relationship that you've never done before? Here's your opportunity to confess to me your curiosities (and of course it will be between you and me - sometimes great relief and courage can come from simply expressing what you desire).

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Entrepreneurship is Creative Thinking Hi Reader, "Well you chose to live in Indonesia Mellie, I don't know how you do it..." I'm on the phone to my brother. Utterly wrecked from a two day immigration change and bombshell extravaganza. Last week I was going about my business. This week?... the red carpet got royally yanked from under me leaving me illegal. Not the first time I've been a fugitive. I don't think it matters what country...
Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Saving My Own Soul. Hi Reader, Iβve built businesses before, and Iβve made my fair share of mistakes. But this time I refuse to screw things up with the Bali Retreat Broker. I finally took the leap and hired a full-time assistant over the weekend (!!). Iβm both excited and terrified - because letting go of control and the thought of training someone truly strains my brain. I'm a stubborn muffin (Taurus Moon). And I can do a lot....
Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners No friendship is an accident - for better or worse. Hi Reader, Last night I was in a gorgeous villa sharing philosophical ideas with Harvard Professor and New York Times Bestselling Author, Noah Feldman about the spiritual constructs of life, religion and who or what is God? The fact that I can write a sentence like that makes me very happy. You see the past few years, particularly since October 2023, I've felt incredibly lonely....
