• For some time, I have been thinking about going on a retreat for myself. I hadn’t been on one since my yoga teacher training program when we went to Bali for a week. At that time, I didn’t love the retreat experience, but was very glad I had done it. Since arriving in Italy, I’ve made some amazing friends yet not quite felt fully integrated with them on an intellectual and spiritual level.…

  • We have wanted to see the ABBA Voyage concert since we first heard about it. Using technology the band is a digital version of their younger selves playing and singing the songs from times gone. Although at first it was a bit surreal, by the end it was almost as if it were a “real” live concert. Of course, there was some mindshifts in that clapping was really only for the live band…

  • This weekend was very full and very very fun. That’s all I can say about that. The pics only tell a small part, but you can imagine the rest. ๐Ÿ˜€ ~T ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‰โ™‹๏ธ

  • It’s that time of year again. Flowers are blooming. Sun is shining most days with a slightly cool breeze. Days are cool in morning and evening, but comfortably warm midday. Eyes are itching and watering. Nose is tickling leading to sneezing and sniffles. And, a lovely layer of pollen lands on everything that stops for a short period outside. ๐Ÿคช Sarcasm aside, I do love this time of year. It’s nice to sit…

  • This image about sums up my world these days – a bit of chaos, distracted by the sun, the world keeps on moving, emails and writing take up the time I do find myself with before other things come up to take me away. Life is good. The sun is shining most days now. The temperatures are rising. Social season has begun and the flowers are in bloom. Aside from my allergies not…

  • Well, I have been a little delinquent here. There’s no real reason other than being busy with a visit to France and spring fever distractions – more happening to me rather than by me. So, this is a just a brief Hello to check in and wish any readers here a very Happy Easter! Will write again soon, I promise. ๐Ÿ˜ ~T๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‰โ™‹๏ธ

  • The mood swings are real today and it’s not yet 10 am. ๐Ÿซค I didn’t post on Friday either because I couldn’t quite figure out what to write about or how to formulate my thoughts. So, this may just be a random post of ups and downs, ins and outs. A friend is going in to surgery today for his prostate. Yesterday, we saw another friend who just had prostate surgery and is…

  • I’m in a bit of a post-travels slump. The weather isn’t helping as it is pouring rain as I type this now. It has been a little chilly, though not overly so, but the rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ and thunderstorms โ›ˆ๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ and wind ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ have not been inspiring. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ Although it is likely to sound spoiled of me to complain about the weather after having been away on travels for three weeks, I am doing…

  • Well, the remaining six days of Australia were full of more adventure. I’ll try to do a short sum up here and then later prepare another post on the whole trip. AdelaideWe were mostly here to see P!NK in concert. During the planning of our trip, we knew that we wanted to see the city, if for no other reason than it is the capital of South Australia and we were about seeing…

  • We are now two full weeks in. This means just a week left, but still so much to do and see. Even since the weekend, we have done quite a bit. From Alice Springs, we headed to Darwin which is popular for seeing the crocodiles. Obviously, we made sure that we did a tour. It was great fun. We also did a hike in the Litchfield National Park, which was very hot, but…
