Out in the (Sun) Light
So, as they say, first things first. Two blogs for all of July?! Pitiful. Kerry Sweeney is so busy with wedding prep, I haven't had my usual Pusher of Posts®. Actually, I normally post to work through something, or to share things that make me happy. And, quite honestly, I guess I have just been doing that offline. However, I'm back.
Greece was wonderful. And I'm fully re-inspired. I look at vacation as really a time to disconnect from "the things I know" and really listen to things "I know". And I feel I always come out of vacation with a little something new I want to take back into the real world. For instance, over Christmas, I loved taking a leisurely pace to get ready. It felt great to not rush my morning routine. Now, most mornings/not all, I enjoy the leisurely pace of putting on face cream and doing my make-up. And getting up a bit earlier for a walk in the park. So, here are the Greece takeaways:
– I like not checking my phone//email//Instagram. I like actually experiencing what's in front of me. So, I'm shuttin' it down every now and then. I doubt I miss anything.
– I love hippie bracelets. Tiny ones. That are simple, but fancy.
– I like reading. Not just in bed.
– I can never spend too much time on, in, or around water.
– The sooner I ease into what the reality of a situation is, the more I'll enjoy it.
– Always make time for travel.

Go Forth Free
I will be putting my anchor down in NYC for the Fourth this year. With Greece right around the corner (woot, woot!), I'm staying local and free of plans. That is, other than heading to the Mets game for "all-American" fireworks show tonight, (Thunder, I hear you. Go away!) and then the over-crowded beach tomorrow (Rockaways! Bring on the sunshine, please).
Currently, I'm fighting the urge to plan my holiday weekend out more. I always want to do this. Get things set. Know what's coming. However, that's the great thing about vacation. Who's knows what the day holds?! Perhaps life can be a bit more like vacation. So in the spirit of freedom, movement and the American dream of happiness... I'm going to embrace these concepts of freedom by Nisha Moodley!
The world needs you to be free…
Free to live creatively and courageously.
Free to travel, savor and play.
Free to create positive change in the world.
Free to experience life without restraints.
Free to focus on what’s really important to you.
Free to be yourself in business and life.
Free to reach for your desires.
Free to live full-out, today.
Free in your body, heart and mind.
Happy Freedom Day, y'all! xo

Oui!
My Emma is in France right now for the Tour de. I just came across these gems. If you can't be there, might as well enjoy the thought!
