This evening is a new beginning. The next chapter. A night for celebrating achievements and to toast to the future. Sadly, here in lower Mount Royal there is no power. This wouldn’t cramp my style if my plans were to sit at home and watch about 3 hours and 20 minutes of ski movies on my laptop (3 hours 20 minutes being the approximate battery time left), have a glass of wine and hit the hay at 7:30. It wouldn’t be a deal at all if it was 20 degrees and June, when it’s light until 11 pm anyways. Alas, it’s mid February, -20 degrees and my plan was to have everyone I know over for a little gathering. For what ever reason I am so happy, so mellow. What ever else tonight brings I am going to chalk it up to fate and make the most of the romantic candlelight. There are not many opportunities in this western twenty-first century to write by candlelight. It is simple, it is inspiring, it is creative and nostalgic. This is the beauty of my life going forward. I get to take some time to be like this always. To delve into what lights me up (and hopefully what lights my house up will be fixed by then!).
"In this bright future, you can’t forget your past". I couldn’t be more excited that my official title, in terms of employment is Skier, Writer, Yogi, Passionate Producer of Urban, Ocean, and Mountain Photography. Soon to this list I will add student. To be where I am right now I needed the experience I am coming out of. Working for an amazing, inspiring, company that pushed me to grow, learn and take myself on is the reason I know I can continue to be great in everything I take on. Every long day, every sweaty yoga class, every tough coversation, every dance party helped me grow just a little bit. It all helped me clarify what I really want, what I want less of in my life. It has all culminated in today. Today is taking it all and going forward. I am grateful for my past, inspired by the present, excited for tomorrow… and what comes after that.
