I worried so much about this tripā¦
I worried that the children would miss out on all the expected activities in the lead up to Christmas.
I worried about working abroad with no childcare other than my husband! š
I worried about the children being away from their family and friends for a long period of time.
I worried about the logistics and travel plans and packing etc etc
And then we got there.
And I saw it. The beauty in people. The beauty in landscape. The beauty in wildlife weād never seen before. As āwoo wooā as this sounds, it all healed the soul.
My children didnāt realise it was Christmas until Christmas Eve!
Insteadā¦
My daughter acted out Moana on a Long Tail Boat sailing towards the islands in perfect turquoise sea with the wind in her hair.
My son played football on the beach with local Thai children at sunset with no common language other than celebrating a goal.
Our children gained pen pals from Australia (who does that anymore?!)
And we watched sunrise after sunrise and sunset after sunset and ate together as a family every night.
Time felt slower. I worked while the sun shone and even when it rained, we had smiles on our faces.
So why post this on my digital marketing page?
Well, the clients I work with help the health and wellbeing of parents and children which actually fuels that same purpose I drive into my personal life.
I hope that on this trip, weāve given these two little ones experiences they will remember forever and life lessons that will shape them for years to come.
And for now, back in a very cold UK, (itās so so cold!š„¶) Iām full of gratitude rather than holiday blues and motivation for a productive 2025 so that one day we can do it all again!
