ST. IGNACIO, BELIZE
Visiting Cahal Pech Resort puts me back at St. Ignacio where I began this whole wild jungle ocean Belizean journey.ย I found the resort to be beautifully situated on top of the city with beautiful views from multiple angles.ย One thing remains- I never regret watching a sunrise or sunset.ย Here is my timelapse.
It was an interesting because after a long, hot day I did NOT feel like leaving my air conditioned room to watch this sun set. โ๏ธ? But I also didn’t want to miss the time lapse video over the mountains. So I bossed myself into getting up and out. โ๏ธ?
JUST DO IT
As I watched the sunset I was overcome with the feeling of wanting to take a photo of me at work in action but the tripod was already in use for the time lapse. So I ran downstairs and grabbed the first employee I found. “Will you please come upstairs with me to take a photo of me?” I asked Julio with a smile. ?
Not only was he able to follow directions (you’d be surprised), he even lifted me off the ledge when I struggled to get back down. ???โโ๏ธ So the thing that I didn’t want to do, turned out to be the highlight of my day (pun intended). So if you have a friend, or an inner personality that is always challenging you to put more effort into having fantastic experiencesโฆ listen. And Belize it.
Get rhythm when you get the blues. -Johnny Cash.
CHANGE YOUR MIND
If you can change you mind, you can change everything. ย As I travel, things do not always go the way I would have planned. But I have gotten so good at saying โGreat!โ no matter what happens. I trust that God has my back and I can roll with just about anything. If plans change- itโs just what I need to evolve and learn, so I lean into it. I think sometimes we let dumb stuff steal our joy because we subconsciously think that by being upset, somehow the situation or the other person may change. Nope. Travel teaches me I donโt have time to try to change people. And it is a waste of my precious little time to get the blues. So I dust myself off, and I get some rhythm. ??
I have time to think deep thoughts in beautiful pools like this one at Cahal Pech, overlooking the city. ???
LAZY HAMMOCK NAPS
I see bugs faceplanting in the screen but they can’t get at me. Watching this pleases me as I take a little horizontal life pause. ???
Shout-out to the people whoย go all day today without taking a nap. It’s called an all-dayer and it’s pretty hard-core. ?โ?
