The simple phrase above is something that I read a few weeks ago that has really stuck with me. It's such a simple thought but to live that way, is not so easy. I'm one of those people who wants to get through every day's to do list (work, freelance work, volunteer work, yoga, swimming, …
{My mom when she was 18.} Today is my mom's birthday! She was just visiting me in Vancouver and we had such a great time. We pretty much talked for three days straight, between eating and drinking wine. I'm very lucky to have a mom like her! Happy birthday Mom!
