October By Myself

hello you beautiful,

Sitting on my bed, looking at the sparkling candle flames and the altar full of pictures, I look back.

Another month has passed. A month of cultivating, once more, patience, transitioning into a full on season with activities, work and fun. A month of standing up for my personal truth, my values, sticking to the desires of my heart. A month with a difficult decision in order to grow and honour my own needs (even people with strong boundaries sometimes slip 🙂 ). Walk the talk, as I like saying.

A month full of ocean and myself exploring deeper the sounds within.

Gratitude flows through me each time I walk to the ocean. I belong to the waters and whenever I am there I remember that I have everything I need. Simple life in balance with give and take.

I know it is me who chose this path. With every decision I make, I carved my road.

It does not mean there won't be challenges. But knowing myself, I will know the ways to cope.

My Notebook has been filling faster this month. I have spent a lot of time by myself which brings a lot of writing expressions.

October has been my calm month. Not that I plan in the future but I sense more activities, work and people in my life this month.

And the Universe, as always, had me wrapped in her arms, letting me know I am never alone. Nothing is lost and everything constantly changes.The words that I read over and over becomes an actual experience bringing me more wisdom and understanding.

The massacres in my beloved land still continues and yet no more that ever I see the true power of humanity. Unity of creators all around.

With all the pain and all the anger there lies this essence of a human being. This never dimmed light within. I feel it stronger than ever. And no doubt my beloved Palestine had something to do with that.

So I sit here in honour with some candle flames dancing around. Grateful for everybody that touched my soul, for every teacher and mirror in this and many other lifes. More than ever I feel like a soul detached from the body yet very grounded and belonging to this beautiful Earth.


With depth and love,


Ligita

Follow Your Passion

Good morning friends 🌞

While the storms and hurricanes are surrounding Mexico, I sit quietly in my cave and reflect my September.

A month with a lot of peace within, a lot of acceptance, wisdom and strength. My month, the month that 34 years ago I was born. The month of harvest in my lithuanian lands, the month of changing colours, changing weather. The autumn equinox, where the light is equal to the dark.

As much as I would have wanted to be producing cacao and chocolate often, I had to still pause and wait until the tourism season starts. But Mexico is teaching me an amazing patience and trust. And so this month I could finally ease into the very stillness. And you know what waits in stillness? Your own wisdom, the most powerful tool you have💪

But I wanna talk today about the passion.

From a young age I often said to myself that I wanna follow my heart. What does that mean to me? Well, a life in balance, a life where I follow my enthusiasm, zest for life, in other words passion. Something that makes me excited, that never has an ending or result so I purely enjoy its process. Like a kid lost in time playing with two sticks.

And as I track my life back to the childhood, I was always passionate about action, about movement, adventure, exploring. So I did. Joining every after school activity that exists, climbing and falling trees, swimming lakes, jumping, running, bruising. 

And slowly with my first hitch hike experience as a 13 year old teenager I got a new passion that lasts till now-travelling. And I knew within myself that travel is what I gonna do. No matter how many limited perceptions around me I heard. 15 years ago travel was a bit different than now 😁

I just felt so happy on the road with a backpack and unknown destination. Only the road mattered.

And that was my hearts direction.

So with a school ending I followed my passion.

It never stopped and I became a full time traveller for many many years.

I wanted to learn snowboarding so I did, I wanted to play an intrument so I did, I wanted to draw so I did, yoga, surfing, volunteering- everything was just my hearts desire. 

And then slowly I became vegan and my passion for the rights of animals transformed into an amazing professional expression creating vegan food in retreats, communities and people around the world.

And then cacao entered in my life. By then I was accustommed to listen to my heart. So I followed.

The heart, the passion.

And now co creating with cacao that still feels like a dream.

The idea here is not to show off but to inspire you.

You don't need to wait. Just follow that sparkle within and little by little your heart will become a captain of your boat and you will sail wonderful seas.

Is it hard sometimes? Hell yeah. Scary? Absolutely! Do you still doubt yourself? Of course! But! Most of the time you just feel that you are living. Truly experiencing life. Crying, laughing, dying. Everything starts to make sense.

And that feeling can be found only within. No other external conditions will bring you peace within.

What is that you love doing? Follow it, you will be so surprised of unlimited life adventures it will take you on.

Experience this life. Don't just exist. Live it and share your own wisdom, your own sparkling. Fail, fall, get up back, continue. Speak up, be wild, don't follow the norm, the way 'you have to be'.

Follow your passion and your heart my dear one.

with a lot of love
