Time, Peace, and Presence…

I recently traveled out the country to Los Cabos, Mexico and while the trip was full of activity, fun, and a bit of chaos (as life always is), I came home with something deeper: clarity. Somewhere between the ocean breeze, the sunshine, and the stillness, I discovered something about myself. I love time to myself. I love the quiet. I love the sunlight how it warms my skin but also seems to warm my mind. I think clearer under the sun. I breathe easier. I remember what really matters. In this phase of life juggling being a sports mom, an entrepreneur, a wife, and now leaning deeper into writing I’m constantly on the move. But on this trip, I found myself craving simplicity. Craving slowness. Craving the kind of peace that comes with just being alone or surrounded by the people I love most. I sometimes think back to my childhood. I think about the moments that passed me by, the time I can’t get back with my parents or siblings. We missed a lot of moments. And the truth is, once those moments are gone, they’re gone. There’s no rewind button, you don’t get a do over.

That realization hit me hard. The more I live, the more I learn: the most important things in life aren’t the dreams, the status, the grind, or the goals. It’s not about chasing fame or fortune. It’s about the people. It’s about the moments. It’s about being present enough to experience the magic of everyday life. Because life be life-ing. It moves fast. It gets loud. It distracts us. But we have a choice. We can anchor ourselves in what matters. We can slow down. We can protect our peace. We can show up fully for the people we love and the moments that make this life beautiful. So that’s my takeaway from Los Cabos. Not just a tan or a good time. But a deep reminder that time is the most valuable thing we have. Don’t waste it!
