One Year....

So today marks one year since I left the snowy, cold Albertan prairie to begin my adventure in Europe. And I couldn't be happier.

Nic and I woke up at 6:30 this morning (voluntarily!), meditated, and enjoyed a perfect, slow coffee morning. A trip along to the post office and then a laughter-filled phone call, some guitar and handstands rounded it all out. We enjoyed lunch with Libby at Chez Vero's, the only (but really good) resteraunt in Congenies. Then I napped off the 2 glasses of wine and my full belly outside in the sunshine, woken up by Nicole singing in the garden. Now I'm at the computer to do some work and later will work on some drawings...

Like I said, I couldn't be happier.

I'm in awe of my life right now and so grateful that I have had the opportunity to spend the past year travelling. Thanks Mom, Dad, and everyone who have offered their support and love. I'm sending warm sunshine thoughts across the ocean to you all.

big love

such a beautiful day

Again it's been a long time, so there is an awful lot to write about, so instead of trying to explain it all, here are a few photos.

Here's Nic and I on our bike ride home from the Sommiers market. It was a beautiful day and we stopped several times to do handstands and cartwheels on the voie vert and laugh like mad.




This is my favorite part of the markets - the spice stands.



Here's a photo from Berlin, where I spent the last 2 weeks. Flo, a beautiful man I met there, took me to an abandoned amusement park and this is one of several amazing images from that day.


Ok. So I realize that this update does nothing to explain my last month, but the overall sentiment is :

"life is amazing"
