Birthday Bliss

If anyone has ever been too spoiled on their birthday, I think I would qualify this year.
My friends went above and beyond in helping make it a memorable one!


 March 22nd - London day trip with friends
So thankful for the friends who helped me organize this day as well as had the insight to know what I would enjoy seeing and making it all happen.

 

We rode boris bikes in Hyde Park. While we were riding we got caught in a hail storm!
I found it increasingly hilarious as we were being beaten with the hail! Great memories!


March 24th- My Birthday


A lovely friend picked me up and took me out for the morning. We had delicious smoothies and browsed a few stores.
In the evening I had the honour of being joined by a group of friends for dinner at a pub. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by so many amazing people who I now have the privilege of calling friends.


April 26th- Surprise Road Trip for my birthday 

The Jane Austen House Museum

Two of my lovely friends picked me up. Destination unknown. I was truly enjoying every minute of the drive through the lovely countryside. And when we arrived to our destination, I think the smile and excitement came rushing up in a matter of a second. Joyful was how I was for the rest of the day. So beautiful, so quaint, the perfect way to spend a day with friends. Thank you girls!

Changing Leaves

"I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end."   ~Jo March,  Louisa May Alcott, Little Women. A few years ago, I upgraded to a new-to-me, used iPhone.  The camera was better, the storage slightly larger for my obsessive hobby of taking photos of things that caught my eye during walks.  (Let me be honest, it happened far too often, but then again, it's who I am!) My friend's husband jokingly asked if it came with a photo album of leaves, or something along those lines. To his credit, it was a witty and hilarious joke that reflected a reality and truth, that all who were present knew very well... Sheena sure loved to post photos of leaves. I can't help it, my breath catches and I want to document the moment, the transition and to share it with others.  The difference between today and tomorrow is everything in this season.  So, I don't want to miss this moment, th...

No Shortcuts

Work smarter, not harder. Wisdom that has served me well in many an instance. However, a shortcut may seem like the best decision, the easiest option and even perhaps the smartest choice. But what if the blessing is found in the delay? Or in the journey that takes more time? What if the landscape along the longer route lends itself to invoking creativity, that only finds its inspiration in the beholding of its view? What if the courage you will need one day, comes from the obstacles faced along the route that are more complex in its landscape?  What if the only way to learn to navigate the roadblocks in life come from learning to read the map along the way? Why do we despise the delay? Why do we find frustration in taking more time to end up where we intend to be? Shortcuts.  Are they truly the easier option? Or could they inhibit the process of preparing us for our destination in the most beneficial and beautiful way.  Could they ...

Chucking things in a bin

In an attempt to be productive tonight, I found myself rummaging through boxes filled with collections from my teenage years I found it very interesting to look back and discover things kept that were once important to me. Items that held sentiment, dreams,goals and hope for the future, or memories of moments I never wanted to forget Tonight I found myself looking at these items through different lenses Chucking things in the bin became a overwhelming source of freedom Not everything, by any means, but certain things that no longer held value or use, found their way into the bin. Now if only I could be as decisive on my future... Where the road leads, I have no idea, but I am excited for what adventure is around the corner
