OCTOBER WAS AN INCREDIBLY intense month for me in a myriad of ways and I felt completely empty last week. Not only was it breast cancer awareness month but I was busy with a variety of professional projects and personal / family things as well as speaking at lots of events over the weekends. So I hadn’t had much time to recharge the batteries nor to destress. I know how important it is to rest, recover and reduce stress to reduce our risk of disease and burnout especially when we are busy caring for others. My gut told me to escape to the beach for a few days and Tarifa was calling my heart. This region of Spain is incredibly special to me, spending time here helped me heal from the trauma of breast cancer aged 29. So I knew this was the place to return too. Don’t quite have the core strength to kite surf yet post DIEP flap surgery last year but I knew that big skies, ocean and beach would help. Within 24 hours, I feel like a different person. Nature is a great healer as is sunshine, swimming and solitary time. As they say, the best way to get something working again is to unplug and restart! This is me unplugged! . . . . #travelgram #travellingsolo #tarifabeach #sunsetlover #sunsetsofinstagram #spain❤️ #costadelaluz #blueskiesandsunshine #blueskytravel #oceantime #beachbaby #moorishhistory #moorisharchitecture #traveltheworld #tunatime
