Around the World and Home
It’s amazing how life can change and become even more wonderful than one could even conceive of. In 2001, I was in Paris for a night on a quick European weekend jaunt. It used to take events of this magnitude to satisfy me and make me happy. I thought nothing of dropping a large sum of money on jewelry or lingerie, and multiple martinis were a regular occurrence when I lived in Ottawa. I lived whole on the hog; a lifestyle that was in no way sustainable. The last decade was filled with transatlantic adventures, leisurely island living with umbrella drinks, mountains and oceans, planes, trains, and automobiles. The bartenders at YYZ and BUF knew me and my beverage of choice; life was a whirlwind of passport flashing and Visa swiping. This lady now finds a great deal of satisfaction and bliss in a $8.00 Viet-Thai curry. I am finally enjoying the simple life. Material objects have lost their significance to me; I am pursuing inner work and growth. I have been around the world, but I finally feel as though I have come home.

On Challenges
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. – Isak Dinesen
