Embracing Simplicity and Joy

Breathing in those summer beach vibes, plus 10 ways to protect your peace

As a bonafide beach lover, I cannot think of summer without a smile on my face. Since childhood, my heart races with anticipation and joy at the thought of waking up early and heading to the beach at dawn. Running up to the surf, splashing around, collecting shells, building castles as a little girl is a forever memory. Later, I fell in love with snorkeling, mostly in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean.

Currently, I’m close to the ocean, which is undoubtedly my happy place. It is the place where I meditate, reflect, practice intentional solitude, go for long walks, explore the sunrise and flex my photography muscle. It is also my place to release, feel gratitude and ask.

One of my earliest memories as a little girl was spending the day at the beach with my parents in Cuba. Later, we crossed that ocean together to come to the United States- the ocean for me represents home. I feel the most like myself there, no question. I am almost certain that if ever there were mermaids, I was one of them.

Summer is here and I am soaking in the peaceful vibes of a slower season. The almost-too-warm ocean breeze and the late sunsets—a dream in color for this, forever Florida girl! This past week, I extended a conversation I had with my team to a brief survey asking ‘where some of you go and what some of you do‘ to feel at peace. I was pleasantly surprised by the responses ranging from a comfy hammock in the backyard, to playing family boardgames, to sipping sangria telling stories with friends. And, many of you shared the beach as your favorite spot as well.

I am sharing with you a few well-known ways to ‘protect your peace’, as I continue to dive deeper into this practice. Of note, every day comes to us with a unique set of gifts and challenges, and its not always 50/50. Somedays are hard. Most of us have healing to do, or are helping loved ones heal from trauma and/or disease. Something to consider … on a micro level … one can be proactive in building the moments of peace and joy within the day, if and when possible. These built in ‘small moments’ have a life and momentum of their own. These ‘small moments’ over time are not small, as I have experienced in my own life.

    Love the idea of protecting your peace, especially when it comes to thinking about what you are consuming. My favorite places to find my peace is the mountains or going on a long walk. Nature always replenishes me.

‘𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊-𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒉 ‘𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊-𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒉𝒔 2023’ is a visual reminder of progress made— and I’m sharing it with you. 🌻

✧  It is mid-January, friends… and we are taking note of all that ’feels good’ to us and has personal meaning.

✧ As a community, in 2022 we accomplished quite a bit. From launching new businesses to potty-training toddlers to starting a yoga practice! We worked hard to meet some of our professional and personal goals— the big ones and the little ones that held meaning and brought joy to our day. 
 
✧ Small personal wins (often forgotten) should be noted and celebrated. 🔅 Sadly, it is challenging to pinpoint or recall dates or details at the end of the year unless we have kept track of them in a journal, etc. 
 
✧ ’Mini-triumphs 2023' was a simple and quick solution— we created a minimal, list-style printable to track the wins as they happen. You can pin it on your fridge or bulletin board, keep it on your nightstand or desk to quickly jot down a reminder of an ‘I did it’ moment! 

✧ It is a visual representation of progress made— in 2023 and beyond. 🤍

Walking down the beach reminds me that we are in constant forward motion, change… we are small in a big way— the waves’ momentum impacts the landscape and there is hope in that. 🔆 Sending love and goodness to all of you in the new year. 🤍
