Travel Chronicles: Vancouver

Flew into Seattle- stayed for a night and drove to Vancouver.
Wonderful trip! Very freeing for my mind and spirit.

Places we ate:
Zeeks Pizza- Seattle
Rolls Kitchen- Sushi Vancouver
Fat Burger- Yaletown
Serious Pie- Seattle
Ribs- Korean BBQ
El Furniture Warehouse- Whistler Village (The donuts OMG)
Grassroots Pizza- Whistler Village



Nature is awesome- it constantly reminds me of God's greatness. The level of imagination, how everything works together, the beauty, the colors, the complexity and simplicity- seeing mountains up close and REAL SNOW! I am Texas born and bred so snow is a figment of our imagination we get slushed ice lol.

Granville Island- wonderful shopping!! Cascadia soaps(purchased) made with goats milk and oils I bought like 5 bars! I love soap- weird...The fresh fudge, unwaxed apples! I was in market heaven.

Capilano Suspension Bridge: AHHHHH I crossed it... I was totally scared going across but I looked down and the view was breathtaking. I wanted to be Pocahontas- have you ever seen a blue corn moon? Me either but I was feeling free. Hearing the rushing water, seeing the cedars, natural waterfalls within rock... Taking it all in.

The dessert scene was TRASH.... probably did not need it anyway. Visited this Transylvanian bakery and was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a slice of raspberry cheesecake... yeah it was the nursing home version of cheesecake... no bake, gelatin like... and the crust was not even Graham Cracker crust... Loss of 4 bucks... Lesson learned.

I drank more coffee than I do in one year combined. Found some great brews that I liked though.
1. London Fog
2. Cafe Medici
3. Carmadon

Visited the upscale Starbucks reserve as well as the original Starbucks in Pike Place.

Surprisingly Vancouver was very "Yellow" almost everyone was of Asian decent. Enjoyed the fresh air, not many smokers and the mountain air was so refreshing. I also took time to visit the Aboriginal Cultural Center and Museum- very educational in regards to Native Americans in BC- their plight and relationship with the Land. The Inuit, Saquamish and LilWat peoples sharing the land. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Drove up to Whistler! Home of the 2010 Olympics! Again the scenery was breath taking. I felt like I was in a nature video in the Tundra. All the trees, covered in snow, moving peak to peak in the Gondola. I am so thankful for being able to experience God's green earth! I was in my element. Free

Take a look a some of the pics. Hope you enjoy.

In search of magic

She told me something was missing. Not a spark or a twinkle Not a light or a star Not a fire or an ember My magic was missing. The very thing that allowed me to create the me I wanted to be, had long gone missing He took it, I said, and I want it back! I want it all back. Slowly she felt it returning- but she had to figure how to use it again. Never again would she let someone steal her magic. Never again would she freely give of her magic. Never again would she take for granted the magic that was given to her as her prized possession. And when she said it- she felt it- the magic she once knew had returned and oh how it had grew. It was undeniable, unimaginable- she realized that the magic was her, she had never left- she had only forgotten due to his curse. She realized what she had forgotten; she had placed her magic safely on a shelf far, far away from what she called her heart. Hidden from all others, even herself- because she was too weak to control it ...

Sucking at life but #Queening

Unfortunately I am the person who can never make a decision right off. I have so many ideas and thoughts running through my head and there is never just one option. Why are there always so many options? There are options for everything and it kind of freaks me out. I am that person standing at the crossroad with basically 3 other directions to go besides the one you came from. Yeah that is where I am in life right now. I want to go everywhere and do everything besides what I have already done. At least going back is not an option and neither is staying where I am... I have to decide on something at sometime. Even the greatest of leaders suffer from indecision. I am afraid that my indecisiveness might lead into inaction which is unacceptable on any front. That is why I impulse decide usually- due to indecisiveness... just make a decision already! Done. So what is it that I cannot make a decision on? Well right now... this living situation of mine. It's time to move from my apa...
