Oh, The Places We’ll Go

Featured by Bucket List Living, posted in Travel
Hold my hand darling, the world awaits!

My bucket list consists of many big and small adventures along the way. The beaches, sand and sunsets with my hunny are my favorite things to do together. A beach girl at heart. It is easy to get so caught up in making a living, that you never make a life. I have to remind my husband of that a lot. We love to gaze at the sunsets together and travel as often as we can. Whether it be a last minute road trip, a Caribbean cruise or fly somewhere for vacation .

I am also on a journey to healthy living with my husband. We are committed to living healthy as we age together. I am on a path to share with you about learning to have self love to take care of yourself daily. It starts with you and loving yourself enough to make good choices for your everyday life. It is a life style, not the next big weight loss fad that is trending, but an everyday healthy lifestyle.

Join me on my journey to living my bucket list adventures!

Your Friend, Julia Lansdell

Gratitude means thanks and appreciation…which rhymes with attitude and comes from the Latin word gratus , which means thankful, pleasing. When you feel gratitude, you’re pleased by what someone did for you and also by the results.

Did you know that studies have shown that Gratitude can make you happier and heal pain & illnesses in your body. It boots your immunity to anger, disappointment and frustrations. Improving relationships and your body. Thanksgiving is a good holiday to give thanks for everything, we should be grateful everyday, not just on the holiday.

Have a positive attitude toward life and what comes at you on a daily basis. Being thankful for all the things that you have, family, and good health. Thinking of things that you are grateful each day. Don’t dwell on any negative thoughts. Be grateful for those in your life and be sure to tell them. When you only focus on positivity, it will return to you. As a christian believer, I have studied gratitude in the bible, and there are over 40 verses teaching on being thankful.

Benefits of Gratitude:

  1. Can give you energy.
  2. Help you become for other centered- inclined to help others
  3. Sleep better
  4. Will make you feel physically better
  5. Make you become less materialistic
  6. Help combat negativity

You are what you attract! Love and health will get better by being grateful where you are at in life at this moment.

Summer is finally here! Yippee! Time to hit the open road and head to the beach or wherever you go on vacation. You just need to travel cautiously. You can never be too careful when traveling. Beware and trust your gut to stay safe. Set up travel notifications with your debit and credit cards. Set your GPS at home before you leave out for your trip.

Here are some travel safety tips to help you and your family stay safe out there on your trip!

!. Don’t be flashy- Don’t flash your cash or jewelry. Ladies need to zip up their purse! Guys need to put their wallet in their front pocket, so that it can’t get swiped.

2. Don’t be a loner– Strength are in numbers. Don’t walk alone. Take a cab. Get a hotel room in a good neighborhood. Spend the money on a good hotel in a good location.

3. Don’t look lost– Be confident! Know where you are going. Have navigation ready on gps before you leave home. Don’t be looking around like you are lost.

4. Use Common Sense– use common sense when traveling. Go in the store if lost and get directions.
