It’s been eleven days since anything was posted on this blog, the longest stretch, in the more than four years of its existence, that it has lay dormant. It was not intended, but instead just happened.
This has been a year of incredible transformation… I’ve turned a year older today and yet see how much there is to still learn. Learning and traveling… nothing makes me feel more alive, more happy, more eager. And because of my daughter, I am learning more than I ever believed possible. But that is for another post(s). Today… today is a day I am celebrating my family, friends and beautiful life.

A rare photograph of Richard and Ariane together as Ariane is usually behind the camera and not in front of it…

Wishing all of you a wonderful day.
