St. Barts

We went to St. Barts in December and it was the perfect early winter escape. We were there for eight glorious days and throughout the trip I did everything in my power to truly be present.

I made a conscious effort to be in the moment: in the sunlit shower, in our rental car climbing the picturesque hills, at the incredible beaches. I took the time to really notice my surroundings. I distinctly remember, upon visiting one of the hotel beaches on our last full day on the island, lying on a chaise lounge and listening

to the palm trees bristle and the ocean lap up against the shore. I put down my book and just listened. In fact, I tried to use all my senses to really soak it all up. These, I figured, are the moments I'll want to stick. Here are some more photos, if you'd like to see.
