I am just back from having taken two weeks of tech and work detox, it feels heavenly to be back. My uncle Des from Australia, whom I haven’t seen in 10 years was visiting us. It was wonderful to connect and spend time with him. It’s amazing how much I’ve missed him. We spent time working on our patio and getting it ready for the summer. I’ve since spent many hours watering our plants and pleading for the grass to grow!
I also took a week off to spend time with the kids whilst they were on Spring Vacation. I really enjoy just BE-ing with them and not having to worry about my phone and emails. I’m so lucky to have such a great team working with me at Hills of Africa Travel, so that I can spend quality time with my family. Lucky me! One of the days we bought a 2-person kayak and took it out to the island for a picnic lunch. Of course, I put tons of sunscreen on my redheads, but forgot myself – I was beetroot after the trip. Have you taken time recently to really BE?
