I recently visited the Dominican Republic. I was lucky enough to have stayed at Casa de Campo, a prestigious 7,000-acre hotel, resort and residential community where celebrities, financiers and politically influential families have their second home. This was not my first time at Casa de Campo.
I love nature and as many know, the Caribbean is rich with bright colors from its beautiful ocean to flowers, grass, stars and sky. How can I not find inspiration being surrounded by such magical beauty? This trip however was different, inspiration came from visiting an all-girls orphanage in La Romana. I came face to face with beauty, over and over. These girls ranging from all ages were happy, authentic and full of life. They live the moment, forgive their past and share their love and compassion with one another.
As the plane landed back in the United States, I thanked the Universe for all the things in my life I sometimes take for granted. I look forward to seeing these girls again in the near future.
