Yes, this is paradise, but I miss my bed
Zoë Hart wishing farewell to Bermuda
I woke up at my normal time before sunrise, excited both to go home and eat one more time at the Loren Beach Club. So I woke up, got dressed, packed, and went out on the balcony to do my affirmations until it was time to eat again.
I feel like every time I ate at the Loren beach club; they elevated the experience. This time it was no different. Today since it wasn’t windy we sat outside, and my stomach had already told me to order the exact same meal that I ate yesterday. My usual order was an americano, sparking water, lobster hash (without eggs or sauce added spinach and avocado).

The breakfast was delicious and the view was magnificent. The day was cloudy, but it felt just right.

For most of my breakfast, I daydreamed about life's awe, the ocean's magnitude, and how I was meant to be here. I had so much fun being myself in Bermuda, and my choices were never questioned.
I told Aniesia that I first imagined this life 12 years ago, but I let it go because no one thought it was realistic. I see now that we decide to live whatever life we choose. Yes, it can be difficult to imagine a life or trajectory that no one around you can see, but it’s up to each of us to decide who we are and do the things that we need to do to get there.
Miracles and Wonders
I feel like I added a new bestie to my inner circle
I was able to stick to my plan in an easy way
I had an amazing breakfast of everything that I wanted, overlooking the ocean
I was treated with care, compassion, and love by every person who crossed my path all-day
I received an email accepting the terms of a contract that I pitched to a new client the week before while in the airport lounge
So far, being a plus one on a luxury travel itinerary has shown me that navigating the human experience like a game and staying true to your imagination is the way to ultimate success.
My final reflections while doing my breathe work with the ocean-filled air.
I was ready to go home, but always wondered how I could return. How could I get opportunities to travel the world in this way? How could I capture content in a way that was compelling for others? All I knew was that even if I never figured it out directly, the magical way I manifested this trip and my trip to Tulum, Mexico, were completely in alignment with my life’s vision.
Our driver, Larry, picked us up after check out and took us to the airport. Having a driver is the best. This is something that I dreamed of us well and I am going to work on bringing this back to my consciousness. Travel is just easier if someone else is in charge of taking you wherever you need to be.

Once we hugged Larry and said our goodbyes, our concierge whisked us through customs and border control and took us to the airport lounge until our departure. Luckily, we both had Global Entry, so it was a breeze. I didn’t realize other countries had Global Entry, but eventually remembered that Bermuda was still part of the U.K., which meant that a partnership program was in place. This meant that we didn’t have to walk the usual mile required to get through customs in Atlanta. To me, this was a huge perk.
The flight was easy, empty, and quick. The funny thing was the flight attendants greeted me as if they knew me, even though we had never met. I started talking to them about capacity and middle seats etc., and she asked me if I worked for Delta. I laughed and said no; I loved looking at the data Delta shared with the passengers before, so I looked at the seat map. She then tells me that they give her all of the information about everyone on the plane. For instance, she knew that everyone in our row was at least Platinum Status which meant that we were all savvy and easy travelers. I sincerely enjoyed learning more about how that system worked and was grateful that my intellectual curiosity was pinged on the way home. During the flight, the flight attendants asked me for recommendations for Bermuda, and I shared some of the highlights from my adventure.
Once I arrived home, I had to navigate myself. Typically the transition between travel and work is harsh to my ecosystem as I feel an avalanche of todos crashing down on my shoulders. But not today. over the last few trips, I decided to make a pack with myself only to do three things when I arrived home and save the rest for another day. Those two things
Check and organize my mail and packages
Do at least a 30-minute workout. I decided to do my E2M circuit training.
Clean the first floor of the house.
So, I did my three things and tried to get myself together for the last love fest planned for my day. My friend, Dayna was coming over to watch a movie with me at my home. We knew that our energy was in alignment and decided that it was time for us to spend more quality time together. The odd thing was that facebook sent me an alert about our friendship earlier that day, today was actually our 6 year anniversary from the first time we hung out.
Dayna and Zoë six years ago to the day that they first hung out. Clearly their very first session was working out at Blast Fitness in Atlanta.
During our girls time, we discussed love, mindfulness and our vision towards life. Dayna told me that she wanted to be a part of my high frequency groups and spend more time together. I happily said yes and was grateful for the deepingin of our friendship that was happening in 2023. I think the time was now and It couldn’t have happened before.
Dayna was the perfect guest. She showed up with the movie selected, wine, sushi, and snacks. All I had was the ambience, which I can put together anytime, anywhere.

During the evening, Dayna asked me for two things:
If she could create my online dating profile
If we could host a podcast together
I initially hesitated, but during this process of surrendering, clearly, it’s a yes to both things on the list. We will see what becomes of it.
