These past few months have been draining. It has not felt like a restful summer, however, it was a productive one. Outside of the obligations of work, my husband and I took time to refresh our home. We purged what no longer served our space and created a renewed sense of design aesthetics. Yet, throughout the process of creating a…
Simple Pleasures
Just two weeks ago I completed my round of annual scans and tests. This one was for my blood work. Since school is out, and I did not have the foresight to enroll my child into a summer camp, I had to bring my AmazingLM along with me. It’s not the first time I’ve had to bring him to my…
We are back!! It was 3 weeks ago today when we touched down at Newark International Airport. This time, our departure from start to finish was relatively seamless. Our plane departed on-time, and due to tailwinds, it landed early! Since we packed strategically to avoid checked baggage, we were able to depart from the plane and straight into an Uber….
“Staying positive doesn’t mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days you know that there are better ones coming.” – Unknown It is an uplifting quote – but – just trusting that better days are coming, sometimes, is simply not enough. We are complex creatures, not only driven by faith, but also…
We find ourselves on the final day of the month of April. I am not going to lie, this was a difficult month, and one that we are all glad to say good-bye to. As we close off this month, the realization that a new adventure is just around the corner has us all growing giddy with anticipation, hope, and…
We are back!! It was 3 weeks ago today when we touched down at Heathrow Airport. Our departure wasn’t without some drama. Just 36 hours prior to leaving, Air Canada sent me a text message – our flight was cancelled. CANCELLED!! I stared at the words in complete disbelief. We have waited 8 years for this moment – this adventure…
I know that I have been absent from my blog – yet again – but for good reason this time. I have been spending my quiet moments keeping busy with planning an itinerary for our upcoming journey overseas. That’s right!! We are FINALLY flying over the pond to destination England!!! This is epic for us – our little family of…
It has been awhile since I last penned a post for my blog. I have been consistently distracted and rather uninspired these past 6 months. Perhaps because of how busy I have been and how overwhelmed I feel. Perhaps because my focus has been elsewhere, on pending life changes and new adventures. Regardless, I recognize that I have been absent,…
It has been a season of magical moments. A season of family moments. A season of joy. This year, with all these moments intertwined in our daily lives, it actually felt like Christmastime. No more isolation, cancellations, and desolation. We were a family unit enjoying wondrous holiday activities, alight with the Christmas Spirit, and memories in the making. Special moments…
For those of you who follow my blog, first let me apologize for being MIA once again. It seems to be an annual occurrence – me, missing in action during the summer months. Although I did upload a post on July 20th entitled Healing From Trauma, I truthfully haven’t written or invested time in my blog since. I wish I…
