On September 1, 2013 I decided the answer to the question; “What’s Next?”
Since that time I’ve continued to work 40-50 hours a week at my day job – ever striving to do the best work I can because that’s just who I am.
When I get home at night, I dive into my “What’s Next?” projects. I spend hours writing, editing video and photos, seeking out new opportunities, building a small handmade business, learning new skills, and traveling places far and wide to seek inspiration.
Read MoreIt’s early Thursday morning, three days before my husband and I leave on an adventure to road trip Portugal, and I’m getting my head scanned for a “slow bleed” in my brain. Everyone is in on the rush job since I injured myself only two days prior, from my naturopathic doctor to the tech performing the scan. Upon leaving each appointment, they tell me “you’re going to have a wonderful time on your trip.”
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago I attended my second World Domination Summit (WDS) in Portland, Oregon. This year I set a goal for the weekend; to step up and be brave.
So here it is, my tale of three braves which unfolded at WDS 2014.

Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Adina Marguerite and I'm a creative who lives to wander.
When I discovered my gluten intolerance, I launched Gluten Free Travelette as a way to document and encourage others that living a life of travel with a sensitive body was still possible. Then, I worked, created, and traveled for almost four full years.
Read MoreEven though I just got back from a long blogging break, I'm about to take another - although a much shorter one this time. If you've been a reader here long enough, you might now that when I travel for personal reasons I prefer to take a break from posting on the blog so I can spend more time exploring and enjoying the moment.
Read MoreWith the holidays nearing, it's time for me to take a much needed break. Since I missed out on many of my favorite holiday traditions last year due to my deployment, I'm making those traditions my number one priority this year and taking some time off from both my day job and from this space to enjoy them
Read MoreDid I get heckled about said juice cleanse? You bet I did!
But did I love the juice cleanse experience? Absolutely!
And no, the juice didn't brainwash me.

Can you see my periwinkle skirt, flip flopped toes, and hand hidden behind the woman in the red dress? That's me welcoming the attendees to WDS 2013 as an Ambassador (volunteer)!
Dare I say, this experience may have changed my life. I heard everything I needed to hear and had all the crazy thoughts and ideas in my head validated. WDS was exactly what I've been looking for as a means of inspiration to pursue my passions. After attending WDS, I'm happy to report that I'm learning to and giving myself permission dream once again.
WDS is filled with an awesome bunch of completely genuine people. The hosts, presenters, attendees, and ambassadors were all incredibly down to earth, friendly, and approachable. I've never seen a group of people so psyched to make a difference both in their own lives and in the lives of others. This is the community I've been searching for. The experience in it's entirety was totally overwhelming and I'll probably be processing it all for quite some time - however, I did want to share some of the talks that touched me the most.
Oh and if you're wondering if I'll be going next year, I'll save you the suspense: I already bought my ticket.
