The Time I Said Yes to Mexico

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

The most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done was go to Mexico in 2016 with someone I had just met and barely knew.

I know. I can hear the questions already.

But I went, and I still remember snorkeling along the coral reef with sea turtles. I remember wandering around the resort, seeing animals roaming freely, dancing, and eating some amazing food. I spent time in the pool, where I met a couple who invited me to another beach. I went with them, too.

We’re still friends to this day.

That’s what stays with me most about the trip. I said yes to something completely unexpected, and it led me to a beautiful place, a swim beside sea turtles, and people who are still part of my life ten years later.

I don’t know if I’d make the same choice today. But I’m glad I have that memory of myself: curious, open to the moment, and willing to see where the day might take me.

One Quiet Question: What unexpected yes brought someone—or something wonderful—into your life?

The porch light is on.
