All the trees were either blossoming or covered in tiny, lime green buds.

The bottom one is for you Mum and Dad. Not long until you're seeing an opera here!

I wished we had been able to go... will have to save it for next time. 

 

Spring in New York City


Fifth Avenue

Los Angeles Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels.

I cannot begin to describe how huge this church is. 

That's the entire tour group gathering out the front after singing at a morning service. 

The Highline, Chelsea.

An old, above ground railway line that's been converted into a green space.
Everything was just beginning to grow.

First stop ...

Hollywood Boulevard

Some of my favourite moments during winter.

Walking Tilly down at the river all rugged up in coats, dodging the rain clouds and breathing in the cold, fresh air. 

A little pot of thyme growing on the kitchen table



August was a tough month.

A realisation that my old way of being wasn't going to work anymore.
A resignation from my job and I'm feeling much clearer in my mind.
Excited to change my lifestyle and embrace a slower paced one.
One where I have more time for things I want to do.

I am coming to learn that often we need these challenging moments to help us consider our thinking and the ways that we are doing things.

Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are.
It soley relies on what you think.
