I guess the ocean did its job

I guess the ocean did its job French Polynesia (specifically Moorea) will always always always have a special place in my heart because it’s where Sam and I celebrated our honeymoon, and that time remains in my memory as the most magical trip of our lives. We waited 5 years to return to this special island, and even though I wanted to go back much sooner, Sam was adamant about keeping that memory untouched and untarnished for as long as possible. Well, this year, we couldn’t hold back any longer.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) This year’s minimoon came at a time when I reallyyyy needed it. I think we both did. I had been crying on the couch too much this year and letting difficult situations bleed into my well-being. Unfortunately, as someone who feels deeply, it is what it is. I think the universe knew I needed to heal and it gave me signs that left me in awe…signs Sam and I are still trying to decipher. On our way back to the States, a scary looking border patrol guard singled us out from a crowd. I was panicking. He said “do you know why I called you over?” We were like “oh no did we do something wrong??” He took his time answering which made me even more nervous. But then he said “out of all these people walking out who look miserable and tired, why are you two the only ones laughing and smiling? I just need to know.” With much relief, we all shared a laugh and told him we had just come from French Polynesia and that he should go sometime too! I guess the ocean did its job. Feeling so lucky.

Can’t believe I saw this with my own eyes

Can’t believe I saw this with my own eyes Feeling so so lucky.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) I already had my camera out for the faint rainbow bc all rainbows, no matter the size, are very special to me. So when the rainbow got stronger and stronger until it became a fulllllll on arc I became so overjoyed my feet couldn’t stop clapping!! I had never seen anything like this in my life! And the fact that it was right in front of our room, on the same, very special resort we honeymooned on 5 years ago – Sam and I felt like it was a sign. I can’t tell you a sign of what just yet, but I CAN tell you this rainbow filled my body with so much pure happiness. I don’t think the vids and pics do this special moment any justice but I wanted to share this rainbow with you, so that you could feel a bit of this magic as well. Feeling so lucky.

A much needed step away from the grind…

A much needed step away from the grind… Hey guys! Even though Sam and I work together every day, I often feel like we don’t get to see each other. I mean, physically I SEE him but if I’m being real, emotionally I’m not really there. I am hyper-focused, super intense, and honestly just too serious. But that’s quintessential business mode Cassey. So…every summer I make it a point to plan what I like to call our Minimoon: a chance for us to step away from the grind (well, as best as we can…I mean as business owners can you ever REALLY!?!?) and be fully present with one another. I call it a Minimoon because I’m forever chasing the pure happiness that was our Honeymoon! This year’s trip took us back to one of my favorite places on earth: French Polynesia.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)   We spent our days in the water and our nights gazing up at the sparkling sky. We retired when the sun retired and rose as she rose. We ate fries at every meal because we could so we did. We walked everywhere and rushed nowhere. We chose to disconnect in order to reconnect. The past couple weeks have given me more than I wished for. (No but like, literally. I wished to swim with 1 mantaray and we ended up swimming with 9!!!) It’s been magical Now…we just need to figure out how to sprinkle this Minimoon mentality into our weekly lives instead of waiting for it once a year! Adding a sense of slowness where we can would be nice…except…kinda hard when the biz is in an exciting (and exhausting) growth phase. Oh well, we’ll figure it out! We always do, right Sam!?!
