Yesterday, in Uluwatu... ✨ • • #baliindonesia#bali#uluwatubeach#uluwatu#suluban#sulubanbeach#sulubanbeachbali#surf#surfing#sulubancliff
We have only been in Uluwatu for less than 24 hours, and this place has already taken my breath away several times (from the beautiful scenery, incredible people and food, and the fear of riding on Kyle’s scooter). Yesterday I was able to cross three things off of my bucket list: see Padang Padang Beach, ride a scooter, and observe the crazy monkeys that consume the forests. My body is quite hurt today from the walking on uneven ground, as well as the decline/incline of getting to the beaches here in Uluwatu. While I may need to take a day off to recharge, I am still completely blissed out. Be prepared to see many monkey photos very, very soon. P.S. Day 3 of no sleeping medication! 🌞 • #uluwatu#uluwatubeach #outsidecorner#bali#baliindonesia
This morning the colours of the sunrise reflected off of the wet sand. It was the perfect last morning here in Seminyak, as we are on our way to Uluwatu this afternoon. This place has already gifted me with so much, one being the gift of sleep. I may still be exhausted from my travels, plus the heat and abundance of walking, but I can’t help think this will be the place that aids my insomnia. For 5 years I have taken sleeping medication. 5 years, I have not had a peaceful evening without some form of sleep aid or tranquilizer, and I have now slept 2 nights in a row with just my lyrica. What a dream it would be to rid my body of the extra medication... 💭 🌞 • • #bali#baliindonesia#seminyak#beach#sunrise
I have made a pact with myself (and Kyle), to nourish my body with a nondairy, pescatarian diet while on our travels. With no gallbladder or ileum, I cannot process fats or gain my proper amount of nutrients and hydration on a daily basis. I usually feel run down, and get intense cramping and bloating. Joint flareups are more common when I indulge in anything and everything, which leads to a more negative mindset, and why would I want to experience this when I am finally in Bali? • • The 35 hours of travel have taken a toll on me. Never did I imagine it would be that difficult, but we made it and this place is just as beautiful, if not more than I had dreamed of for the past 8 months. Now that I have slept for 12 hours, my ankle is a little less swollen and stiff, and my body as a whole feels recharged. Let’s see if I can stick to this pact I made, and see how my body reacts to it. Luckily Bali makes it extremely easy to eat and live well. ☀︎ #bali#baliindonesia#seminyak#cafeorganic#cafeorganicbali#smoothiebowl
Half a decade ago life changed after being hit by an impaired driver, and half a decade later I reflect on those changes. A new blog post is now up on livingnowwithmaia.com Ps, I am really enjoying my new camera 📷 ⛰ • • #alberta#rockymountainnationalpark#rockymountains#banff#banffnationalpark#canada
Today is a normal day, and yet lands on a very significant date in my life thus far. June 9 is a day to celebrate life and show those around me how much I appreciate their support. It’s a day to reflect on mine and my mother’s growth, and create goals on how to make the next day, month, and year, the happiest and healthiest. For those who are new to this page and unaware of the significance of this photograph, I welcome you to explore my blog and read the post that will be published this evening. 💛❤️ • • #mothersagainstdrunkdriving#madd#recovery
