If you know me you know I have a *ahem* few tattoos, and the majority of my artwork has a common theme: flowers. I am continuously inspired by their colorful beauty, and as a result I have several permanent flowers inked on my body as a constant reminder of the fragility of life – I [...]
This post is inspired by Avi, who recently made a comment on a photo of a sunset in one of my blog posts which got me thinking…I have seen a lot of amazing sunsets around the world and I should share more of them with you. Apologies if any of these photos are in previous [...]
It feels like winter went on…and on…and on this year. We are usually blessed with frequent chinook winds here in Calgary, but this year it just didn’t feel like we got a lot of reprieve from the cold and snow. Having spent the first part of the winter in Thailand, it was hard going to [...]
I try not to take anything in my life for granted. I tell my husband everyday how much I love him, show my friends that they are appreciated, and give thanks to the universe for all the blessings that have been bestowed up on me. Life is good, and the more the I acknowledge this [...]

So yesterday was one of those days that I could honestly take off the calendar completely and pretend it never happened. Except it did. Nothing really terrible occurred at all, but you know those days, right? Energy is low, head is lightly pounding, and the tasks on the to do list are laughable. It was [...]
The epic tale of our Thai adventure continues…. We hiked a beautiful waterfall on Koh Phangan called Phaeng which is located in the national park. It was an incredibly rejuvenating and and peaceful experience, despite the plethora of other tourists beating down the same path (it is high season in Thailand right now). Nonetheless, it [...]
Ok! Awake and refreshed from a fantastic sleep last night and ready to continue telling you about my epic adventures in Thailand. Picking up where I left off….
