So the blog starts... Here I am in Thailand.. Koh Samui to be exact where the locals call it Samui. Why did I decide on Samui.. well good question.  I was in a place where I wanted peace, relaxation and healing.  The last place I found all 3 together was in Samui so I decided I was going to go back. 

I remember last time I came here, I had just had major surgery and I needed to heal, I was supposed to be on a detox with my friend Anita, who had to carry my bags because I couldn't (she was a great support bless her) and she did the detox and I relaxed... I had never felt that tranquility again no matter where I went. I had it when I went away a few times but that was it. So since I was going away alone, I thought why not fulfill what I was going to do all those years ago and do the detox. 

Also, I have been in a place in my life where a detox is just what I need. Not because of my diet, because actually when I listened to the nutritionist today, I realized my diet over the last 4 months has been really good. Only because I have this awesome trainer who kicks my backside and makes me log my food and she checks what I eat, so I know it's healthy.  But there have been other areas of my life that have been unhealthy. So I'm detoxing all areas of my life. 

Last week, I was seriously sick... I shouldn't have been teaching but it was interesting as soon as I walked into the hotel that I was in, I was hit with everything.  Suddenly my body reacted and I was put literally in my bed.  I couldn't move.  I only got up to teach and eat.  It was as if going back to a place that held memories, my body and soul said... no more Lisa you are moving on... and it cleansed everything out of me.  Incredible.  I'm still croaky but I'll survive. 

I was faced with so many things last week which was good but tough all at once, but either way it was amazing, and now, here I am in Thailand. On a juice detox that is just going to highlight so many things, and make me face everything, and deal with all my crap and baggage. Bring it on!

So I figured that since I was an open book I would share the journey with you. 

So I am sitting here on the deck of my little home having just showered... the journey from Brisbane was great.  I had the most amazing chilled day with some really great friends yesterday, laughing and joking and watching their dog do some amazing tricks... it was just heaven.  Then I got dropped off at the airport for my flight to Singapore. Arriving in Singapore 8 hours later to the shops being closed... I mean come on... what is a girl going to do for 3 hours... haha thankfully I didn't have to wait for long before they opened and I made my first purchase... Then I found the Sanctuary... a little place which has relaxation chairs, plants and soft music. Everything you need to relax you and think that you are already away on holiday.  So having lay there for a while, I headed to my gate and started having a text conversation with Charlie.  I miss him so much but I also know that if I don't take this time for me, I will have burn out and he is having a great time with my parents so he is safe. 

And so onto Koh Samui. While we were on the plane, I ate breakfast, not realizing it was going to be my last 'meal' for 2 weeks... and I slept.  I got woken up with the announcement about The tropical storm in Koh Samui and that we couldn't land and we would be circling for 45minutes... yay... I could sleep more! 

An hour and a half later we landed, in beautiful Koh Samui.  The warm rain hit my face as I was getting off the plane and rolled down my face like big tear drops, and then I realized I was crying, silently but tears flowed because I was here... the time had come.  Before I left LA I had other plans with this time, but now here I am... waiting for my thai massage. 

I was greeted by the driver who took me to the resort and I was met with the nutritionist and explained that I was going to start today... OMG thrown in the deep end... not realizing that the plane food was going to be my last.  I thought I was starting tomorrow! lol

Mango smoothie, for lunch and my supplements... Yum, and then the food talk and then unpack and shower.  Jeez did I need that shower... lol 

So here I am not knowing what is going to come up for me, but knowing it's going to be transformational. Waiting for my massage feeling a little hungry but thats all psychological because I know I can't eat. Knowing I'm going to feel like crap for a few days but it's all doing to be worth it in the end. 

Ok, time past and I had my massage... OMG it was awesome and then... well you don't want to know what I had to do after that... but lets just say letting go! 

yes I am definitely hungry... and I'm looking forward to my soup! FUN... 

The day is almost done.  How am I feeling... well thats an interesting question. I know that I have some things to work through and some things to take care of, but on the whole, I'm feeling good. 

Lets see what tomorrow has is store for me!
