a chapter in trust
it’s a true gift when a person, place or experience can give you the opportunity to discover or affirm a part of yourself that you may have once doubted or simply are on the journey of uncovering…..
since otràvie was born into my life, in every season, it has unfolded with me in new ways, blending and mirroring how life is flowing for me. it’s what i feel is the new meaning of a “lifestyle brand”. otràvie has followed me, and in many times rather led me to the people, places and spaces that make up my experience of life and what it is today.
and now a chapter in my life and in the story of otràvie is coming to a close. two years ago, OURS dropped into my world quite unexpectedly as something i felt that was so aligned for me as it was the outcome of a true manifestation. it was an intuitive and deep heart knowing that i could dive into this project and give it my all. OURS arrived into my life at the moment when i was able to receive it fully.
after two incredible years of running this collective alongside a couple of amazing women that i am so grateful to call my dear friends, i’m choosing to open my heart to focus on other dreams and consciously make space for new paths to unfold.
even though it’s all valid and worth so much acknowledgement, in my reflections of these past years of OURS my proudest moment is not in any of the material or financial gains for otràvie… it’s not in the things i can check off a list: the hours i spent, the dedication to building this space, the way i supported other brands and their passions, or the deeply intentional ways of how i was able to show up and serve my community.
this chapter of OURS is and will always be about how i said YES and trusted in an unknown path that laid ahead. it was about the way in which i could console my fears and open my heart to possibility. this is the greatest gift that the experience of OURS gave me - showing me what i am capable of when i open my heart and just let go.
thank you OURS, for this beautiful chapter in TRUST.
