Greetings! 
This
month we focus on the importance of being
present. We've both had some pretty incredible
experiences lately while quieting down and
"being still." There is such power in the
present moment! That is where our answers
lie and where our inherent wisdom is waiting
for us to tune-in.
The photo below is a cherished picture
from an amazing trip we took to the island
of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.
In the backyard of our inn was this beautiful
wooden bench positioned on top of a cliff
overlooking the ocean with a beautiful view
of St. Thomas. That empty bench called to
us every day. Sometimes we sat there together,
but most often we took turns and found solitude
on our own up there. What an incredible
way to simply "be" and allow the present
moment to unfold. Sheer beauty, quiet, and
awe-inspiring views.
Back
home, our task now is to re-create those
moments like we had on the bench in Tortola.
When life gets busy, that is a tall order.
It takes being proactive and taking
the initiative to set aside the precious
time to slow down, get still, and just
be.
What
is it in your life that helps you connect
with the present moment? For us, it's
that solitude on the bench in Tortola.
Take the time to find that place in your
soul and allow the beauty of the present
moment to flow...
In
gratitude,
Michelle
