Holidays seem to have a special magical power, don’t you think?

Whether it’s booking them, going on them or getting home from them, they all hold their special powers of anticipation, excitement and contentment.

They can be extravagant, cultural explorations to far off lands with the one/s you love most, simple trips away with a bunch of mates or a solo escape from your routine. Whatever they are, wherever you go and whoever you go with, holidays are so important to recharge your batteries, refill your cup with whatever is missing and remember that there is more to life than work and your usual obligations.

Holidays have the power to remind us of what’s most important to us and hopefully they will make us laugh, relax, connect, learn and remember who we are at our very core.

And that’s what life is all about, isn’t it?

When was your last holiday? When is your next holiday? Do you have team members who haven’t had a break for a while?

Having just returned from a girls weekend up the coast, I’ve now booked a short family break before the Christmas craziness kicks in and am pondering where my mid winter break will be next year. And it feels good!

My recommendation is to do yourself a favour and book a break.

Think about what you need. Adventure or relaxation? Hot, cold or in between? Partner, family, mates or solo? Long weekend, week, fortnight or a month? Plane, car, ship, bus or train?

Make it happen – because this is what makes life rich.
