Bula.
It’s been quite a while since my last postcard from Fiji.
I’ll be sharing “Postcards from Fiji” along with our newsletter once a week from now on.
If you’d like to keep up with the latest news and little moments from life in Fiji, I’d love for you to subscribe to our newsletter.
This week in Fiji, I thought the weather wasn’t looking particularly good, only for us to suddenly have a few days that felt surprisingly hot and humid for winter, with strong sunshine throughout the day.
I don’t know if these changes are related to climate change, but lately, I’ve been hearing more and more news from around the world about wildfires, floods, and other natural disasters.
It makes me think about how important it is for all of us to do what we can to live a little more sustainably and take better care of nature.
Lately, I’ve also found myself busier than usual.
There always seems to be something to do or something to think about, and before I knew it, I had very little time to simply slow down and relax.
Yesterday, I decided to put everything aside for a while and just take some time for myself.
And, surprisingly, after doing almost nothing for a little while, I felt completely refreshed. Somehow, I found myself feeling more positive again, with new energy and even the desire to try something new.
When we’re busy, it’s easy to think that we should keep going and work harder rather than take a break.
But yesterday reminded me that sometimes, taking a step back and allowing ourselves to pause is also part of moving forward.
Making a little space in our everyday lives.
That was something I was reminded of yesterday.
Even though I live in Fiji, a place where life is often said to move at a slower pace, I sometimes find myself getting caught up in the busyness of everyday life.
Perhaps that’s exactly when we need to stop for a moment.
Look up at the sky.
Feel the breeze.
Or simply spend some time doing nothing at all.
I want to continue making space for those little pauses in everyday life.
And today’s photo was taken at Hilton Fiji Beach Resort & Spa in Denarau.
Hilton has a beautiful, spacious beach that feels incredibly open and relaxing. There’s something about sitting by the ocean and doing absolutely nothing that makes you feel a little lighter.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Vinaka.
