Do you know the situation when you plan something and then life takes another path? This happened to me just recently. I had been thinking a lot, discussing with many friends and dreaming for hours about how I would start my journey through Europe by flipping my self-made coin the day before my departure, how I would book a train ticket to the middle of that selected country and leave on the next day and just step into the unknown. It happened differently of course.
Destination Bordeaux
Early June, I decided to start my journey on June 23. Then my friend Silba, with whom I had very little contact, invited me for a weekend in Bordeaux. We met in summer 2020 at a personal development retreat and she was for me a great source of inspiration, challenge and support at the same time. I was aware that she was preparing a weekend of inward exploration with another common friend, Marc, who I met at the same place. Her personal invitation touched me and coincided quite nicely with the day of my departure. I really felt a strong yes inside of me. I thought of flipping my coin to decide if I should accept her invitation or not, feeling that I was letting myself down for not sticking to my plan, the one I had dreamt of and talked about so often. However, while picturing myself discovering my coin showing me a no, I saw my disappointment! So I let go of my plan and accepted the invitation.
