Mt Kokuzo, 2x.
Nature is open!!!!!!! It happened last week, 3 months after the Covid quarantine restrictions were put in place, and the natural world was cut off from us… As thankful as I am everyday for our situation, these four walls have been closing in on me… Affecting my daily mood, my energy, my SOUL. The lift happened just as Dear Husband was taking leave from work, for our little ‘stay-cation’ so the timing couldnt have been better…

She has been dancing since the womb…. Memories of long baths, swollen belly, little Her fluttering around to the sound of my terrible singing, Elton’s “Tiny Dancer”… It will forever be her song…

Kyoto Japan.
It has been on my Bucket List for years, grouped in with that ever nagging feeling of “unfinished” when we left Japan 5 years ago… I had dreams of walking the cobblestone streets of the Geisha District, seeing shrines that date hundreds of years back, strolling along the Oi River, imagining what this land looked like 500 years ago. I am so so happy Dear Husband and I made this happen.
