Linda’s Vacation !



I had a conversation with a professional Business owner ( Linda ) who had just came back from a beautiful vacation in Hawaii.

I asked her how she felt … She said Fantastic. Linda then proceeded to tell me how she very much needed a vacation. She was so passionate about her experience. I had to ask if she was a writer and if she would write her story here. For everyone !…. She politely declined, but gave me the go ahead to write down her experience.

So, Linda I hope I do your passion justice !

Linda is a successful business owner and full-time wife. This of course can come with a large amount of stress.

She explained how she was so bogged down with stress before she left on her trip. She no longer responded to daily problems the same, as she normally would. How at some point she forgot where her personal and professional boundaries were. How she was only focused on negative things in her life. She no longer noticed the beauty around her. By doing this her stress level went even higher.

After she left, and 3 good days of beautiful oceans and dolphins out her window.

She realized how stressed out she was. How she was only looking at the negative & stress in her life and forgetting all the wonderful things she loves that ARE a part of her everyday. She realized she was no longer protecting her self with boundaries and not taking notice of her surrounding.

As, she explained all the things she realized she was full of energy! She talked about how much she loves her surroundings at home. How she lives in a beautiful part of country and plans to take more advantage of it ! she realized she needs to take more time with her husband whom she very much loves being with. She loves her job and the people she works with.

From listening to Linda, it made me think about my own situation and how I should take note of the things I love. Make more time for beauty, not just on vacation but everyday. Stressful days happen, but when we come home or before bed, we should focus on……The things we have around us, that really make us smile …..

I would to hear about your mini vacation !
