Today I hiked Multnomah Falls and it was a sight to see! Traveling to distant places and immersing myself in cities, cultures and values has taught me how to embrace each second I’m blessed with. I believe that living in the moment is to savor and become aware of your surroundings and that’s exactly what I did during this hike. Today taught me how to be one with myself and to forget about society’s ideas of happiness. I have learned that to truly live a fulfilled life, you must learn to find happiness within yourself and along the way the beauty and simplicity in the little things will present itself during unexpected moments or flashes in your life. Portland, you’re beautiful. Thank you for showing me how amazing Mother Nature can be.
