Enter a state of freedom…

To me, freedom is a choice…a state of mind, a state of being, and a state of spirit. Afer all, we are one as free as we make up our minds to be. As a freelancer and contractor in the social media, marketing and content creation world, flexibility and “freedom” is a large part of my job. But with this freedom to do my job from seemingly anywhere with wi-fi, also means I do my work from anywhere….I am always available and often times work much longer hours and don’t have conventional weekends.

So it was with great pleasure that I entered a state of true freedom when I fully disconnected and reconnected to myself while enjoying a stay-cation at The Laguna Beach House . The moment you enter the coastline property, you feel a sense of familiarity, belonging, and the beauty of simplicity. We checked in just as happy hour (free wine and warm chocolate cookies by the pool, what more could you want?!), and immediately took our drinks and books down to the pool. Vintage string lights hang over the pool, framing the growing star-lit sky. We felt at ease, surrounded by families visiting from other countries, Laguna beach locals, and young professionals a-like. I felt an instant grounding and safety, the way you feel on a family vacation when you’re a little girl. We spent the night jumping in the pool, sitting by the fire pit, and listening to the waves on the beach.

Upon entering our room, the small-town feel was met with all the amenities you could wish for. We spent a good 5 minutes just oohing and awwing the insanely comfortable king sized bed, balcony views, adorable sitting area, and bathroom. It made you want to jump right into bed and order room service! I felt like creating from a place of joy and simplicity- a truly refreshing feeling.

The Laguna Beach house was the perfect moment of freedom to feel like a child again, full of freedom and joy. For all of our fellow freelancers, honor ourself with a staycation and commit to fully getting off the cloak to get to know what makes you feel like YOU again.
