Happy New Year!

It’s hard to believe that 2012 is coming to an end. I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions but I hope to make more time for the things that count next year. Visiting friends. Time for a vacation – away from Toronto this time! The purchase of an excellent DSLR camera and a photography course. I’d like to post some original content on this blog. I have to stop saying “I’ll do it tomorrow” and just do it already! AND… throw a party next year! I’m so inspired by this fabulous “bubbly bar”. More of these party photos at 100 Layer Cake.

The Rich Life

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

We all know that money can’t buy happiness. It’s the little things that make life rich. A sunset or an unexpected visit from an old friend.

I’m going to start a series of posts called the rich life. In this day and age of digital overload, I think we should all step back and appreciate the small comforts, the serene moments and the love in our lives.

That first cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning, the wonderful aroma of lavender, an impulse day trip to the countryside, when the icing to cake ratio is absolutely perfect.
