Hiking home after work, breathing clean air, admiring the first signs of Spring. That’s life on the North Shore. It took well over a year to adjust and I was always prepared to run away to find something better. Turns out, it isn’t so bad after all.

About 4 years ago I was in the middle of my graduating project, a book club with my coworkers at Pooh Corner. I had beautiful conversations not only at work, but also with the other grad students at Capilano University. If you had told me back then that within a few years I would join a book club with my (now) colleagues at Cap, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. And yet, here I am on a Saturday morning on the rainy North Shore preparing for our first book club meeting next week. Life just keeps getting better.

Still as happy as 9 1/2 years ago. We had a great weekend, enjoyed the sunshine and each other’s company, and even played the guitar/ukulele!

I think I finally arrived in Canada.
