“20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails- Explore. Dream. Discover.”
-Mark Twain
Long time, no see!
I am so sorry to have been MIA for so long, I think life happened, and then…. pandemic hit. Our lives have changed forever, but the moment has come to make up my lost time. I am back!
Thank you all who stuck with me since the moment I started Bellwether. It has been forever since I did anything here, and your loyalty is greatly appreciated!
Do you know that according to recent data about 33% of people report extreme stress, and up to 73% report that stress impacts their mental health?
Unfortunately, a lot of us are still caught up in the grind of work, family responsibilities and ongoing stress. Many do not prioritize adequate rest and do not put enough emphasis on their mental, emotional, and spiritual health while they just exist day by day.
I finally am better myself, and I hope most of you are getting there as well. Life is back to its regular course; we still go around the sun, and at last we can celebrate and live more fully!
After few years of doubt, limits, and social deprivation, I finally have a sense of what I was missing.
I want to come back to sharing fun and experiences with other ladies, learning from others and building strong and meaningful human connections through the process!
Back in 2016, at pre pandemic times, Bellwether was created mostly to help busy individuals find their style. Travel and concierge services were also in the company portfolio, but the event/travel planning aspect was somewhere at the back seat for majority of time.
Many of you know how much I love travel and meeting new people through my experiences.
l delight in learning from others. I enjoy the feeling others give me when I can spend time with them; when they push me to be a better human, to discover myself more. I appreciate when they get me inspired to take action, to expand my horizons, to advance in my life. Travel and people have always made my life so much more valuable and colorful, and I am tremendously happy I can share that aspect of my life with you here.
I can only hope I will instill the “travel bug” in some of you even more… Not only can we get exposure to amazing, breathtaking, and undiscovered places together, but we can also help each other notice details that sometime become overlooked living our everyday life. Most importantly, especially for me, we can find “our people” in the process.
Human happiness and wellbeing have been studied for centuries and all the research conclusively states the same – we need to be intentional in our relationships and stay productive about developing strong connections. It is the meaningful and deeper bond with other people that impacts the quality of our lives the most.
In order for us to be the best mothers, wives, coworkers and producers of results in our professional lives, we first need to be a little selfish and take care of ourselves. We need to put on an oxygen mask first; only then we can perform to the best of our abilities and assist the ones that rely on us!
Let’s not put off the time for ourselves for another time. Time is the only thing we will never get back and inaction causes life to choose for us then (the best options are not always available).
I realized only action has the power to combat any doubt and fear of unknown that cripples us all.
I have taken control of my life, and I am no longer interested in experiencing regrets or disappointment with myself: instead, I am here; fully devoted to this project.
If you want to join me in a new (it does feel like a brand new one to me) adventure, please come along!
I already started getting busy designing and coordinating travel experiences/weekend gateways for smaller groups of ladies. The first one is coming in October, and I can’t wait to share it with you! Details are coming soon!
