As I sat in the warm sun, staring out at this spectacular view the other day, I suddenly realized that I was truly and fully “living in the moment.” Just looking at the aqua blue water, listening to the sound of the crashing waves and feeling a total warmth on my body, I was completely engaged in my surroundings.  I didn’t care to read my book or check-in online or do anything else that would distract me from the sheer pleasure of what I was experiencing at that moment in time.  It was incredibly powerful.

It’s not often that I get to do this at home.  My mind is always racing, full of all the things I need to do or facing the guilt of what I should be doing. I guess that’s what makes getting away so important to me.  To be able to just sit, undistributed, in the most beautiful and serene places and actually appreciate that special time.

Cancun was absolutely gorgeous and a full review of our resort, The Paradisus, will be coming in the next few days.  Hopefully, I have enough shots of the incredible beach to help everyone “live in the THAT moment” with me!
