I’ve always liked Brené Brown, haven’t you? Recently, I stumbled upon a quote from her that resonated:

“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.”

This simple truth struck a chord. It made me reflect on life’s ordinary yet profound moments—the ones that often slip by unnoticed.

Life is a series of fleeting moments—the highs and lows, the laughter and tears. They’re all temporary, like ripples in water. But within these seemingly ordinary moments lies extraordinary magic waiting to be discovered.

Here’s my personal goal:

1. Stop and smell the roses, even the little ones. Whether it’s a small victory or a grand achievement, I will pause and soak it in.

2. I’ll remind myself when curveballs come my way: It’s just a rough patch. I’ve weathered storms before, and I’ll do it again. These challenges are part of the journey, not the destination.

The older I get the more I learn, that gratitude is a worthy compass—it guides through both sunshine and rain. When I’m grateful, I find strength even in adversity. It’s a powerful force that transforms ordinary days into extraordinary ones.

Right now, I’m grateful for this moment—the chance to reflect, connect, and share.

✨ What fills your heart with gratitude? Share it below! ✨

Hey everyone! As a speech-language pathologist and proud supporter of the autism community, I want to share some important information during April - Autism Acceptance Month.

* Approximately 1 in 36 children have been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

* ASD occurs across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. It doesn’t discriminate, and neither should we.

* Boys are nearly 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with ASD than girls, but remember, every individual’s experience is different.

* Our brains are wired differently, and that’s a beautiful thing! Let’s celebrate our strengths: our intense focus, creativity, and unique perspectives.

* Neurodiversity isn’t about fitting into a mold; it’s about accepting and celebrating our strengths Our brains are fearfully and wonderfully made to be complex.

* Together, we can create a world where acceptance and understanding flourish. We can start with empathy.

* Share this post to raise awareness and promote acceptance.

* Use the hashtags and

* Be kind.

Our differences make us stronger. Let’s celebrate each other, learn from one another, and create a more inclusive world. 🌎

Getting ready to plan your next vacation? 👀

Travel Advisors make it seem like a humongous challenge, but it’s really not. Be sure to implement these 3 things when planning your next vacation!

✅ Dive into the abyss of travel blogs, forums, and obscure Wikipedia pages. Spend hours deciphering cryptic travel jargon.

✅ Read online reviews - is it really paradise if it doesn’t have at least 300 positive emojis?

✅ Call each resort, restaurant, and tour company. Engage in lengthy battles with hold music. Negotiate room rates like a pro.

APRIL FOOLS!

This is a sure-fire way to end up overwhelmed! Instead, use a Travel Advisor - we'll do the research, sift through reviews, and use our connections with resorts and contacts in your destination. Our recommendations are tailor-made for you, like a bespoke suit for your wanderlust.

So kick back, sip that mocktail, and let us handle the rest.

THAT’s how to do it 👆

While the beach is a serene paradise for many, it can pose unique challenges for individuals in wheelchairs. Uneven terrains, soft sand, and limited accessibility can make beach visits a daunting task. But, undeterred, those in wheelchairs have found ways to embrace the beach. With specialized beach wheelchairs, ramps, and accessible pathways, accessibility is improving. Community efforts have raised awareness, providing beach mats and boardwalks for smoother movement. This dedication ensures that everyone can enjoy the sun, surf, and sandy shores. Let’s strive for an inclusive world where beach days are a joyful experience for all, regardless of mobility!

The iconic Trevi fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome at a whopping 85 feet high and 65 feet wide. The most notable feature is of its god and triton statues designed to “tame the waters” as the fountain is the final point in the Aqua Virgo aqueduct system.

I don't want to make Dry January more difficult, but Tuscany is home to many great wine vineyards. Its most famous is Chianti, the “heart of Tuscany,” where the namesake red wine is made. Some might argue Hannibal Lecter made Chianti infamous.
