Home from Nicaragua

Expanding our Vision and our View

Gosh, it’s so great getting out there in the world . . . gifting ourselves new experiences. This is the group of intrepid adventurers who went with me to Nicaragua last week. They are incredible humans! 

Not every moment was comfortable, and there were some challenges, but overall? It was super smooth, and eye-opening, and enriching, and transformative. 

I’m immensely grateful for their trust and their big spirits!

Hello, everyone!

Thank you for this moment. This opportunity for us to connect. 
I hope our time together today is of service.

Whenever I travel, and have an immersive experience, I try and gift myself some extra space for processing and integrating upon return. Oh, and I definitely offer myself lots of extra grace. ☺️

It’s such a privilege to get out there, and I never want to lost sight of that. I know when I am gone there’s even more Mike needs to do to keep our household happy. Especially during his final exam week . . . with tons of extra grading and preparatory work for his new classes, plus the start of his 7th grade boys’ basketball season! 😔

Life can be complicated. I’m astounded by how much is always happening, seemingly all at once. The pace, and the volume, of inputs can be pretty jarring, and taxing, and overwhelming. 

So today, as we build into the holiday season, a reminder: make a habit of taking small breaks for yourself. 

Go ahead, make that cup of tea. Put on that soothing, or energizing, music. Change into that cozy set of clothes. Connect with that friend you love. Feel the ground underneath you. Stare at something beautiful. Step outside and breathe in nature. 

And then, celebrate! 

Celebrate something in yourself. 

I love the Alex Elle quotation. ⬆️

Today, I’m celebrating my growth as a trip leader. 
Are there things I can do better? Absolutely! 
Is there more for me to learn? You betcha! 

And, I am growing . . . and I am grateful for that! 

So, that’s it! 

What are you celebrating within yourself today? 
I’d love to know. 🥰
