I just got back from St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We stayed at Caneel Bay, an amazing resort founded by Laurence Rockefeller and dedicated to re-connecting people with their spiritual energy. Below are a few “A-HA” moments I wanted to share with you from the trip.

1. Me and Mom travel v.well together. That being said I should usually take my own advice when it comes to practical matters i.e. take your swimsuit in your carry-on so you can dip right away:) But I also want to be more open to taking suggestions from her on activities. I wish we had snorkeled again like she suggested!

2.W.O.S.= wide open spaces. This is what humans need to do our best thinking. Clear out the clutter! And next time you move try and make sure you have pretty pictures outside your window:)

3. I finally understand the concept of WellBeing. YAY! This revelation came to me on our last night when I was feeling quite wonderful. WELLBEING is…wait for it: simply feeling WELL in your BEING. Don’t know about you but I feel like I have been trying to decode that riddle for awhile. It really doesn’t matter how much yoga you practice, how much cleansing you do or how organic you eat if you do it in a manic, stressful way and are always being hard on yourself. Simply being connected to how WELL I feel inside my own mind and body is the secret.

4. Finally I need to go slow and take things one day at a time. If there is a big change I want to make I need to take the first step not focus on how hard the last one will be.

Thoughts?
