A poem inspired by mindful travel
After returning from a long-planned trip to Cape Town, South Africa, M+M founder JPC (Judy Perez Compton) was so inspired by her experiences throughout her travels to the 'fairest cape of all' these words came to her as soon as she returned home. Always inspired by her world travels and her insatiable wanderlust she realized she has so much more to share about living a mindful life so this is her gift for everyone this #globalwellnessday2015. . . a little poem inspired by her upcoming blog #wellnessandwanderlust.com
My True Wealth. . .
is not measured in gold,
or social status,
nor expensive acquisitions
it is found in experiences
which enrich my soul and
fill my heart with joy. . .
to love and be loved by my
beloved
to give and receive unconditional
love and peace with family
to share laughter and tears
with true friends
to taste, smell, and see the
world through travel
to feel the rewards of being a
good caretaker of my health
and well being
to express compassion and
forgiveness to humankind and
receive it in return
to work hard and enjoy what I
do so much it keeps me mentally
motivated to do more
to create, ideas, things, art, and
express my true gifts
to appreciate Mother Nature and be
in awe of all of her majestic beauty
to care and love for an animal who
can only speak to me except through
his eyes and expressions
to provide for others less fortunate than
myself in a manner that rises them
to sustain themselves
to be content with what I have and
realize it is more than enough
to live my life as my authentic self and
never compromise who I truly am for the
sake of anything or anyone
this in my opinion is wealth beyond
measure that surpasses time and lives
in our heart and soul forever.
