Inspiring Awe - Versailles Grand Moments and More Everyday Wonder
I believe travel has a special way of awakening our sense of wonder, helping us see the extraordinary in the world around us. But opportunities to feel awe aren’t limited to far-off destinations—they’re all around us. We miss them sometimes because our attention and intention are elsewhere: getting to work, stepping around the growing mountain of laundry, or walking to get our steps in. Due to familiarity and routine, we easily miss the reflection in the puddle, the fresh dusting of snow on the mountain, or the sparkle in the eyes of a neighbour's child. By practicing intentional noticing, we can discover those moments of magic no matter where we are.
