And on Day 2 of my step back into the world we live in, I woke up just after the birds and checked my messages to find reason to return a tweet to my sister.
So in touch. Yet so far away.
Living [Perth, Western Australia] so far apart from my one sister [recently moved from her 2 year stay in WA to the furthest place she could get to!...Fort Myers, Florida...but done for looooove], and away from all direct family and friends grown up with at "home" [Vancouver, Canada], as well as the "other homes" I have made along the way to here...is inspiration for this blog and to keep this up and going.
But there's no sob story here having been a traveller and seeker of my own space for a long time, while still warmly recalling the people and places I have known at "home" and on the way to where I'm at now.
I've been away from "home" now closer to two decades than one, and have a little family of my own that's very near, present and direct. And yey family! Just one bed change in the night! 1 out of 3 ain't bad when the night before was all three, one after the other for one reason or another making mid-night and morning a domestic bliss.
Which reminds me: it's school run time.
About Me

- Just an average super-mom advocating for her three great kids including a darling boy with severe physical disabilities who is lovingly supported by his awesome older brother and protected by his strong and sassy younger sister. I encourage open communication and community, especially since both myself and my husband have moved country, and from the country [respectively], to a city where we have no direct family. Message to others: work hard, try new things, meet people, enjoy learning from challenges faced every day, and celebrate life's joys. And if it's hard to work the way you were taught in grade school, then challenge the norm and make things work for you - be flexible.
