Happy New Year!!

I've been at home on the coast for the past couple of weeks and loving it. I left Alberta on Christmas morning and had bare, dry roads all the way to the coast. I'm not a fan of Christmas so it was a fabulous way to spend the day, driving through the mountains with the excitement of going home in my heart.

Tomorrow very early I start the drive back and I'm very sad about it. This is the longest I've been home since I left Vancouver two years ago. Overall its been a good trip, a little sun, a little rain and a whole lot of friendship!! I got over to the Island to see my Dad and his wife and my dear friend Patti and sushi with Michael. I walked along the beach and spent an afternoon wandering through the enormous cedar trees in Cathedral Grove. I was born only a few miles down the road from that amazing forest so my soul always feels at peace when I am near them.

My time in Vancouver has been wonderful especially since I was able to stay in my apartment and look out at the amazing view from my living room of the north shore mountains. The last two days have done nothing but rain. Its dark and dreary but from where I'm sitting I can see a man across the street in the park feeding the birds and even on this gray day it fills my heart with colour. He is out there every day and the birds line up on the electrical wires above patiently waiting for him to toss scraps of bread into the air. Its quite the sight!

I found out the day before I left town that I'm extremely anemic which explains part of why I've been so tired. I saw a Naturopath while here in Vancouver, Dharm Sidhu who is a wonderful dear friend and a wise, wise woman. She has me taking some homeopathics and when I return to Sherwood Park I'll start on a number of other supplements. I desperately long to have my life and vibrancy back!

So, now the task of packing ~ boo-hoo ~ but the good news is that I'll be back. Don't know when but I'll be back. I have alot to accomplish when I return and I hope that this sojourn will have replenished my bones to motivate me. Its a new year and a new time to get going. I have a great deal to be grateful for as I enter this year, alot!

Happy 2011 all of you. May all your dreams come true this year!!  xox
