Kia Ora! ⁣

Fingers crossed 🤞 but I'm feeling better today. Yesterday, it was a strict regime of Advil and cold decongestant and I got a pretty good sleep in after revolving naps throughout the day. Work an hour, sleep an hour. I'm still stuffy 🤧 but I'm coming out on the other side.⁣

Jayda & Tye had a phenomenal week in Amsterdam, despite one crazy thing. Back in October, Jayda missed seeing her fave artist. Her husband found that he was playing in Europe during her reading week and proposed they do a fab trip across the pond to see this dude - only for them to land and find out the artist had broken his hand and ended up CANCELING the show. I KNOW. Fortunately, their itinerary was stacked and they had sensational time in spite of why they were going there in the first place. IKR!⁣

Back to the grindstone for this gal. I've got 4 books on my TBR this week, so best get at 'er while I've got a spark of energy.⁣

Today, I read ❝𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵-𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭.❞ ⁣

In short, carpe diem. ⁣

Fly to Europe. ⁣

Live in NZ.⁣

Smell the flowers.⁣

Start the business. ⁣

Try a hobby.⁣

Say I love you. ⁣

It's a short trip, after all.⁣

... Read moreThis post perfectly captures the essence of making the most out of life, even when faced with setbacks like illness or canceled plans. Reflecting on personal experience, I’ve found that embracing life fully means appreciating the small joys as much as the big adventures. When sick or low on energy, it’s tempting to slow down, but pausing to rest can reignite your spark to pursue passions and relationships. Travel often offers unexpected lessons, as seen in Jayda and Tye’s trip to Europe where an awaited concert was canceled. Instead of disappointment, they shifted focus to exploring Amsterdam’s culture and sights, turning the setback into a memorable journey. That adaptability and positive mindset remind me how important it is to be open to new experiences and find joy beyond initial plans. The phrase highlighted here, “Life is a short-celebrate of what touches your soul,” invites us all to actively seek and cherish soulful moments—whether it’s traveling, spending time with loved ones, diving into a good book, starting a new hobby, or simply stopping to smell the flowers. These rituals nurture our well-being and enrich everyday life. Incorporating natural elements like appreciating local birds or landscapes adds another layer of mindfulness. The inclusion of Native Birds of NE Maui and surrounding islands in this post’s imagery symbolizes the beauty and uniqueness of our environment, encouraging connection with nature amid our busy lives. Ultimately, this message is a call to carpe diem—seize the day with intention and gratitude. For anyone juggling health, work, and dreams, it’s a reminder that life’s short, and embracing every moment with heartfulness leads to a more fulfilling and vibrant journey.
