Believe and it Will Come

August 13, 2014 · 3 Comments

Believe and It Will Come quote“Believe and it will come” I have believed in this mantra long before,  but looking for conch shells in Mexico I came to believe it even more. The day before I saw a family manage to find multiple large conch shells. Of the five he found, one was still living so he was generous enough to offer it to me, but I kindly turned it down because I would have much rather found an emptied shell. Plus, I was determined to find such treasures myself.

RiveraMayaTriptych | The Dreamery I told my father, who is my shell collecting partner, first amazed that I gave it back, but was then ready to go on one of our last days in Mexico to search of the best treasures to take back home. It was early morning and we were walking over the same rocks I had the day before, but this time in waist deep water, and we searched for these special conch shells. I’ve always had a keen eye for the smallest details but over the past few years, through meditation and mindful practices, I’ve learned to take one step at a time, focusing on just that moment. I searched close to shore slowly, as my father searched father out.

Rivera Maya | The Dreamery Rivera Maya | The Dreamery Rivera Maya | The DreameryIt was high tide which made it harder to find shell buried beneath the sand and crashing waves. It wasn’t until I almost decided to head back, after nearly an hour of searching, that a small voice in my head encouraged me, almost like a the known movie scene where one repeats, “If you believe, it will come.” And after repeating it to myself just three times I saw something buried in the sand, with its distinct swirl, barely showing itself through the sand. It was a conch shell, although aged a bit and large, beautiful, but then found another and then an even larger one in orange and green tones. But then I found another and even another. I had found about six beautiful conch shells, one I gave two beach goers, who were amazed, and were right when they said I looked like we were having fun, and I was.Rivera Maya | The Dreamery Rivera Maya | The DreameryRivera Maya | The Dreamery

I believed in something it came, my determined efforts were succesful. In a sense I stopped being fixated on the vast ocean, but instead focusing on the small areas and believing that these shells would appear. Rivera Maya | The DreameryYou just need to change your focus and open your mind. Notice the small details in life, just like searching for the perfect shell on the beach. You’ll appreciate not only the beauty of life but every little detail that makes it so wonderful.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
