During a dark bike ride of South Beach early Thursday
morning, Kelly informed me that her swim team needed an extra member for their
relay race this weekend—the Alligator Lighthouse Swim. This is an 8 mile swim
with a team of 4 people—while one person is swimming, the other 3 people are
kayaking alongside the swimmer to help guide him/her. A couple of hours later, I was a confirmed
team member and trying to hold down anxiety about the big race. We woke up
early Saturday morning in Islamorada (in the northern Keys of Florida) and
headed to the beach to prepare for the race. At 8:37, my team was off. About
six and a half hours later, we returned to shore with our bodies depleted of
food and water but with an abundance of sunburns and jellyfish stings. We all
slept well that night!

Sunday morning, we woke up early to drive back to Miami. The
Standard Spa was hosting its third Yoga Fest. We were in Downward Dog by 11am,
bodies covered in aloe and sunscreen, listening to the yoga chants and
breathing in the positive vibes. It was a day of peace, pondering, and positive
vibes. The bike ride home was so energetic! A few good takeaways from this day:
(1) Fill your life with the good stuff so there is little room for the bad. (2)
Nobody cares what you do, they care about how you make them feel.
Peace.Love.Sunshine
