Thought of the week - Start Now

Greetings all!

Do you ever feel that you just need more time to prepare? And THEN you will be ready?

I recently spent some time “preparing” and “researching” until I finally realized I was just procrastinating because in my mind the task was unpleasant. But once I actually finished the task, I was surprised that it did not take as much time as I thought it would and was not as unpleasant. All I needed to do was just start! So when I came across the quotes below, they really spoke to me!

“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… start."

20 Most Beautiful Beaches In the World

Greetings all!

Have you started traveling? I am not yet comfortable with changing travel restrictions, entry requirements, and delayed or cancelled flights but that doesn’t prevent me from dreaming of the future trips and just enjoying the pictures of amazing destinations.

I came across a list of the most picturesque beaches in the word, and what I found interesting is how the data was collected!! The beaches were ranked by the most Instagram posts over meter of sand and 25 million Instagram hashtags were analyzed by money.co.uk. Of course, we live in the age of Instagram and TikTok so is it any wonder that these platforms are used for research? 

I was surprised that Ipanema Beach in Brazil was not included but I think it is gorgeous so adding it to the list, no hashtags, just my opinion :)

So here are the 20 Most Beautiful Beaches In the World, according to Instagram, courtesy of money.co.uk! My personal favorite is #9 - adorable!!
