Joywithin Joyful Life | Refreshment

Since most of us are working from home right now, travel has...changed its flavour and glamour-effect recently. Travel has always been a part of my life until a few years ago, just before I started my blog which now reaches readers in 80 destinations. (Thank you) I learned a lot in that life-tempo change and in today’s episode am sharing encouragement and gentle prompts with any travel fans who could do with a fresh perspective on their life at home in this season.

Passport in purse. Bills and coins from different countries tucked in one drawer, just in case.

Adapters and converters to suit any socket – pre-packed.

A fluid calendar and easy-to-reach bright pink mini suitcase, with a larger matching option depending on the trip.

This was how life looked for me, not so long ago. Just before I started this blog, actually. Writing can therapeutic; don’t let anybody tell you different.

Travel has always been a part of my life – well, ’til now.

What about you?

Correction: Barbados is listed as the 12th most-expensive 'country' on Fortune.com - not the 20th like I said (by accident) here. Here's the matching blog post to today's episode with a bit more on that.

The Highest breathed life upon and within us. What a merciful miracle, the first and every gifted one beyond then. When's the last time you remember taking a full breath? Join me for a light reasoning on what I like to call the 3Ps and 1Q in deep breathing and for a light breathwork you can do anytime.

Deep breathing helps the mind be more clear, rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin, helps the body (and mind if you let it) get rid of toxins, assists with circulation, and helps to tone and strengthen the core, along with the obvious benefits - without the gift of breath, none of us could be here. Every gifted breath is precious...though we may forget sometimes...let us still remember to remember.

When last do you remember taking a deep breath; this isn’t a contest...it’s an invitation to take one now. Breath is something we tend to take for granted. Deep breaths from the diaphragm bring clarity to the mind and create an automatic environment for gratitude to grow. Join me for a moment of refreshment in this mini-episode, and thanks for sharing precious time here today. I appreciate it - and you. Deep breath and light thoughts in one...two...threeeeeee

At home in Barbados, rehearsing "Star" - an original song. Here’s a recording of a verse, couple chorus and ad libs taken in prep for an event coming up this weekend. Haven't played guitar in a bit, and boy does it show. Still that doesn't change the joy in my soul and the message on my mind. "You are a star." (Keep shinin'). Wrote this while I was in Jamaica, at Rory StoneLove studio.

One day I was having lunch at the cosy home of a longtime married couple.

Join me in this podcast to find out the fruit of the lesson I learned along the way
