Hi all! 

Today is a short post, discussing a topic dear to my heart. A couple of weeks ago, I was upset about something very small. I felt extremely irritated and close to tears. Francis and I were ready to take Abigail for a walk in the pram and as I got ready to leave, I suddenly heard her giggle for the first time. Francis was holding her at eye level, giving her ‘Eskimo kisses’. She continued to let out the most adorable little laughs and in that moment, my heart soared with joy. As we took a stroll around the park, I reflected on what had been bothering me earlier and realised it wasn’t important in the slightest. My daughter had laughed for the first time. I would never forget that day for the rest of my life. That one milestone pushed everything else aside. That is what I call: The Big Picture.

The Big Picture can present itself in nature, via travel, through creative expression and certainly from our family and friends. I’m sure each and every person reading this has experienced a ‘wow’ moment, that left them speechless and completely present. If I asked you what that moment was, what comes to mind first? 

Let’s not forget what truly matters in life. If we can keep The Big Picture in our minds, we can seize opportunities without fear, cherish our loved ones like it’s our last day with them and feel more joy, than sadness. If you don’t know what I mean by The Big Picture, quite simply (and morbidly – sorry), it’s the fact that we are all going to die someday. That reality alone forces us to put everything into perspective. Go for your dreams, love big and most of all, remember those moments that filled your heart with so much happiness. That is all I wish to say today. I hope this post resonated. There is much to be grateful for. Our own mortality gives us the chance to create an epic existence, so don’t waste a second.

Thank you so much for reading! 

Peace & Love xoxo
