LIVING IN THE PRESENT One thing I am “always working on” is to live, enjoy and BE in the moment. This concept was first introduced to me when I read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (great book - and Im not too into those self help type of reads), and depending on what’s going on in my life, I am more or less focused on it. Over the past year especially, I am even more determined to enjoy these little mundane moments, which I know I will look back on and miss. I know that these are the moments that will make up my life. Life is so easy to be overlooked at times, and as humans, we get so distracted by things that we truly lose touch of whats happening before our eyes. Honestly, how many times have you gone to a concert or seen an amazing sunset and your first thought is to take a picture instead of watch it unfold before your eyes. Capturing the moment is understandable, but the need to post to social media when you have a front row seat to something incredible is not. Disconnect to connect. Im the first person to admit that I plan ahead like crazy. I thrive off of planning a vacation or something Im excited about, but the journey to getting to that destination is all I have right now. Sometimes I think we all need a reminder to be aware of the present, so this is your reminder to do something great with the time youre living in right now. This song really captures what Im trying to say, and sometimes hearing lyrics is more powerful than words. Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you have an amazing day! youtu.be/SiQCvOtKF70
