One more year around the sun for me today. I am reflecting on my life a little:

Best Moments: First coffee of the morning, Rainy days browsing bookshops and galleries, kayaking on a mirror lake, listening to playlists under the stars, laughing until it hurts. I am living the width, length, depth of this life and feeling it all in between.

Good at: Most things creative. Baking Portuguese milk tarts. Unglogging drains.

Room for improvement: Packing the dishwasher. All my yoga poses.

Comfort Food: when my girls make their special breakfast.

Movie fail: I talked about Fight Club.

Humbling moment: whenever someone says one of my girls looks like me. Also, falling with an audience watching– #truestory.

Best song lyrics: “All the things you lost will find their way back to you.” Imagine Dragons

Right now: Getting my hopes up! Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting— for he will never disappoint you! Psalm 27:14 Passion Translation

If you read it all, consider this a smile… and slightly longer than usual eye contact and my sincere thanks for being in my life.
