At last minute I decided we needed a beach break, and found an inexpensive hotel directly overlooking the beach in Kiama Cove. It was idyllic. It takes about an hour and a half to drive there from where we currently live, and although we’ve definitely done that as a day trip, it felt like we […]
Lincoln Memorial
At the very beginning of the year we were still in the US and at this stage a stone throw’s away from the Lincoln Memorial as my husband needed to do some work near Washington. Since we named our son after Abraham Lincoln to help inspire him throughout his life of someone who held high […]
Monticello
At the very beginning of 2018 we were still in the US visiting family. My mother lives in Tennessee along with other relatives, and my sister and her high school aged daughter drove out from California to join us. Since my niece is looking at schools to attend for college, we visited University of Virginia, […]
Abraham’s First Easter
We celebrated Easter for the first time as a family this year. We are not at all religious and I’ve been very hesitant to participate in these kinds of holidays as it’s not what we believe. However, after a change of heart and an immersive Christmas experience back in the US, we’ve fully decided to […]

I’m redirecting this blog to be about my family. I’ll be using it as a journal of sorts, documenting our adventures and life in general. 🙂

One aspect of loving yourself is accepting yourself just as you are. This is because only you have lived the life you have, only you have experienced life in the ways that you have, you are totally and completely unique.

Letting the past go allows one to be free for what is in the present and what will come in the future. The past cannot be changed. Sure you can rewrite your story to make it more appealing, but overall, it’s done. It’s over. Dwelling too much on what was is not healthy. This is […]
Be Love. Experience Joy
An essential part of being love is experiencing joy. Joy is that really good feeling, a sense of happiness where everything is pleasant and lovely. I find joy when I get to meet new people. This nourishes me. I enjoy, in joy, relating with others. It especially brings me joy when I get to learn […]
Be Love. Meditation
A crucial aspect of being able to embody love is slowing things down. When I first started to change my life for the positive, I started to pay attention and would choose healthier food options that would generally take more time to prepare. This was helping, but I needed more. I would often wear earplugs […]
Be Love. You Are The Change
The crux of the Circular Love idea is that you are the change. You have to be the change in order to get something different in your life. Once you start to have reverie, self love and appreciation for yourself, then you allow others to also have that for you too. It’s like you hold […]
