True bliss looks like this.
It's the best blue whale watching season in recent history here in San Diego.
After watching a mouth-dropping Instagram video from Gone Whale Watching, I decided to take my daughter to see them last Friday afternoon — which led to two key moments...
The first?
Realizing how powerful social media video marketing is. In no time flat, I booked three tickets for myself, my daughter, and my sister.
The second?
Well, this one was unexpected...
I had no idea there would be a moment on this boat tour that would become the greatest affirmation of why I own my own business.
Why I chose to get divorced.
Why I do the hard work (mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and professionally) to be at my growing edges.
As we rode on the Hana Hou boat, the wind blowing at our faces, my daughter closed her eyes to breathe in the sea.
She soaked in the moment, the sensations.
She smiled quietly and stayed like that for a couple of minutes.
My sister began to notice, looked across at me, then mouthed, 'What is she doing?'
I mouthed back, 'Being happy.'
To see that much pure joy?
It's truly a sight to behold.
After a little while, my daughter opened her eyes, leaned into me, and said:
"Mom, I am so happy right now. I love you so much."
That's why I do what I do.
Why I adjust my goals to make time for these moments NOW.
I hope you experience pure bliss like this throughout this week, as I know schools are getting out and summer plans are underway. And, that you ask yourself "why" you're doing what you're doing.
One of my favorite exercises lately has been looking in my own eyes every morning while brushing my teeth and saying:
"I love you — what can I do to make you happy today?"
Try it and see what happens.
By the way, seeing that 75' blue whale?
Totally amazing.
Yet, it was nothing compared to being with my daughter.
Giving her an opportunity to be fully present.
And witnessing her genuinely enjoy her life.
Oh, and remember how I said that video marketing works?
