I’ve just been up enjoying snow adventures near Hede in Sweden. The most amazingly beautiful landscape; stars that go on forever and the most serene stillness. Living rustic is the way forward! . . #SwedishAdventures #CabinLand #CabinLiving #Hede
It’s taken 20 years to get to Amsterdam. 💙 the canals, bikes, pancakes, history, the iconic windows... Time to fly north on a snowy adventure with @missmlk ❄️🌲❄️
When in Amsterdam, one must canal. It’s the thing to do. ⚓️
A year ago, I started my biggest journey yet. The fight of my life. Pancreatic cancer diagnosis, fell in love, surgery, lost a ton of organs, became a diabetic, got severe ascites, resulting in malnutrition, 8 months on an IV feed, living in hospital for months at a time, 6 months of chemo, moving hospital to my home, became my own nurse... Through it all my family, friends and colleagues have carried me every step of the way and are the real reason I am still kicking. Now I travel, cycle, run, go to yoga, work full time and eat like a horse. I live in 3 month intervals from scan to scan but that’s the thing - I’m alive! Happy one more life year to me. 🎉
The end of the year has brought me to Cape Town. I have had the most amazing trip seeing family and friends - happiness personified! Happy New Year everyone. May 2020 be filled with love, hope, health and, of course, adventure!
This past year has been the hardest, scariest, most sobering year of my life. I have known both deep uncertainty and immense relief; the rolling waves that form the highs and lows. With hopeful eyes, I have seen colours in the greyest hues and have learned to be patient with myself while I navigate this new journey. I have endured heartache. But I have also felt an overwhelming sense of love, the blanket that has held my broken pieces together; both have touched every corner of my fragile heart. I am learning to be at peace with both the dark and the light. And While I can, I will.
