TRI NURAINI

For the last few months, I’ve had this huge desire to just be by the ocean. It was hanging in the back of my mind, but I kept making excuses.

“Not the right moment,” “The budget isn’t there,” “Too busy.” et cetera.. et cetera..

But lately, the feeling was getting louder. During a call with my Project Maven ladies, a few of them mentioned they had just come back from beach trips with their families.

I felt that internal nudge again: “Oh my gosh, I want that so bad!”

I had the desire, but I hadn’t actually made a plan..

The “Allowing” Part

Then, out of nowhere on Saturday morning, my family WhatsApp group exploded. Everyone was heading to Anyer.

I was like, “Okay, this might be the sign. Just what I needed. I’m so coming!” I joined the crew, packed my bags, and the next thing I knew, we hit the road.

That was me “allowing” the universe to deliver on my desire.

The Reality Check

But here’s the thing: manifesting isn’t always a direct line to a perfect moment.

Since it was a day trip, we ended up at a public beach. Well.. it wasn’t exactly what I had pictured.

It was super crowded, loud music was blasting from every corner, and there was cigarette smoke everywhere. 🥲

I sat there thinking, “This is not the beach trip I imagined.”

But then I decided to be creative..

I realized that manifesting isn’t just about allowing things to happen to us; it’s also about how we take action.

The “Taking Action” Part

I pulled up Google Maps and saw we weren’t too far from a really nice hotel resort.

I took a 20-minute walk down the shore to the hotel nearby and found a beautiful, quiet pool area with a restaurant right by the water.

It was breezy, peaceful, and the air felt clean. I stayed there for a few hours, set my intention to release the old and embrace the new, and just breathe… 🌊

It was exactly what I needed. Nature, but in a way that felt calm and comfortable for me.

I headed back to my family just as they were packing up, feeling completely recharged.

So, how about you, what is your Rose and your Thorn?  

Is there something you’ve been “allowing” into your life that needs a little bit of your own action to make it feel right?

My wish for you is that you keep believing in your dreams—and then take the walk to meet them.

You are meant to thrive.

And if you ever need my support, I’m here for you.

I’ve got your back.❤️

With love and gratitude,
Inuk
