Some quick thoughts for your week:

“I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills, when all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”

– William Wordsworth

Lately I’ve been thinking about suffering.
I know – typical Mandela fashion to come swinging out of the gate.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I both love and hate it.

On one hand, I find myself in a losing battle to evade it, outrun it, even transcend it. But on the other hand, I recognize that I sometimes welcome it. Suffering has a strange way of giving things meaning. It sharpens me, toughens me. It reminds us that we can do hard things.

But navigating suffering is exhausting – a lot like navigating the last few weeks of winter.
The good news is that a quote by James Clear recently cut through the maze of thoughts in my head:

“When you need clarity, subtract.”

Spring is almost here, and that feels like the right mindset. This is the season for subtraction – spring cleaning, both physical and emotional. Clearing space. Letting a little light back in.

Because sometimes the best way to face life’s suffering isn’t to outrun it.
Sometimes, it’s simply to make room for what matters.

For those who enjoy the reflective side of these notes, I’ve been writing more frequently on LinkedIn. No pressure, just an open door. Link Here

Choosing quality over scale.
One of the questions we get most is “How far in advance should I book?” Our answer is simple: as soon as your plans are solid. We can’t hold spots without a reservation.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’ll be slightly reducing our shuttle capacity so we can continue delivering the level of service and care you’ve come to expect from us. This month, the most important thing to know is: If you know your dates, we strongly recommend booking early to secure your spot.
