From snow to rain, the conditions evaporated very quickly over the first day of our little skiing adventure. The only refuge from the relentless elements was our gondola hideaway…and a perfect opportunity to add to my rolling reportage of the trip!
Live inspired.

The gap between what your soul loves, and the amount of time spent doing it will be the size of your unhappiness. Nice. Live inspired. #soul #soulloves #happiness #walk #english ou tryside #sunshine #smilingsoul #lapinbarcelona #heartmedicine #bookstagram #publishedbook #liveinspired #surreylife
Let your intrepid quest for success be in the things of life that truly matter. Down deep within the chasms of our soul is a desire to succeed, to make our mark and to live a life that is wholly meaningful. Maya Angelo, poet and thought leader, added wisdom to this quest by saying, “success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. “ Within this definition there is a deep sense of satisfaction in knowing that you are doing what you were made to do. Flying with your God-given gifts. Those that discover this early, tend to live with a sense of satisfaction and ease. However, it often takes a lifetime to discover metrics of personal success. Palliative care physicians often offer unique insights into this discussion when they recount people’s the final conversations. These exchanges are rarely about numbers and accolades but rather about heartfelt reflections on relationships- the lack thereof or the fullness therein. Where people were hinged together in an integral part of a journey, the instances where one was able to love and be loved, guide and be encouraged, success was evident and most fulfilling. So in this precious, short life, take care to pursue those things that truly matter. Those things that matter beyond today. Your heart will guide you, just be aware and feel it’s rhythm within.
