One of the truly special parts of visiting Portugal is being surrounded by so much water AND being able to explore it by boat. Whether it’s a private charter or a water tour, simply being on the water helps me slow down and be present for those memory making moments of traveling. @tempovip_dmc helped set up all of our amazing experiences on this @visitportugal trip and I can not recommend them enough.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

Years ago, I began interviewing mothers about the babies they had lost. I thought I was learning how to better support people through unimaginable grief.

I didn’t realize their babies would stay with me.

I know their names. I remember their birthdays. I see foxes and think of Fox. Butterflies make me think of Saachi. I think about Clark, Willa, Charlie, Layla, CJ, Nelle and Iris.

Their mothers taught me something I will carry forever: you do not have to understand someone’s grief to help them carry the remembering.

Say their baby’s name. Remember their birthday. Send the card. Send the picture. Let them know their child has not disappeared from the world just because the rest of the world has moved forward.

I wrote about them today in “I Think About Their Babies Every Day.”

Link in bio, or DM me and I’ll send it to you. 🤍

I learned two things shopping in Portugal that I didn’t realize.
1- Because there is tremendous amount of craftsmanship and talent, many luxury brands from other countries, have their products made in Portugal. This talent is seen all throughout the country whether you are shopping in Larger stores, boutique shops, or artisan markets.
2- The artisan markets are filled with the artist and their art. Nothing is imported in and many things are created by up cycling. Like nativities made of found natural elements, statues of paper mache or jewelry made from the cast off nespresso pods (that one was incredible!)
All of this made the shopping so very fun and the items so very special. I fully know that every time I wear my overalls, or faux fur coat or earrings I will remember and appreciate the talent!

Neither of us has ever been to Portugal and there is just nothing like exploring a new place with you best friend. So often the “nice” or “big” vacations are saved for our partners, but once in a while you just need an all out lux girls trip! We’ve seen so much but could still explore for another week so we can’t wait to @visitportugal again.

Some places are even better when you take the scenic route. Exploring a new city in a vintage inspired sidecar, a few unexpected turns, and your best friend beside you? That’s my kind of once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Portugal you’re something special.
