Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain.
Tom Robbins
What are some things you do to enrich yourself? I saw this editorial of Cindy Crawford for the Edit March 2019 and thought about how we maintain a sense of adventure as we get older. I’m fortunate that we get to travel a decent bit – despite the fact that traveling with kids is not always very fun lol. But it has been incredible eating steaming bowls of rich ramen in a ramen bar in Tokyo to feeling the calm and soft waves of water lapping at my feet in the Maldives. I love exploring different cultures and have even dragged the kids to a hole in the wall dive in Vietnam to have authentic local food (banh xeo which is so tasty!). I have also loved introducing them to architecture and natural beauty native to different places we have visited.
While I’ve been able to enrich my experiences through travel, I have also tried to make it a point to keep learning as well. I am taking a course for certification in my free time (halfway there) and thinking of starting another course. I am also trying to read more rather than simply surf around on my phone at the end of the day. While I’ve started reading “Hamilton”, it’s been a bit slow but I am enjoying curling up with my Kindle while I’m in bed.
Do you have any book suggestions? I used to be such a voracious reader and am trying to refocus my time on more important things. While I love reading and consuming content, I want to devote some of that content to that which can be more educational. I would also love to create more content and pick up photography again. So I hope that I can continue to be adventurous and curious as well as pass on these traits to my kids too.
Have a lovely week!
