Mum start looking in the letter box... I just sent you and Grandma a letter!

What is making me happy right now?

So, it has been awhile since I have given a REAL posting - and simply put it has been because life has been TOTALLY crazy. ...

But what is making me happy right now? (Asha style question!!!)

* Longer, warmer days in the Amsterdam sun that tell me that Spring has arrived.
* Dinners with close friends - cooking, wine and good conversation
* Movie nights with films that matter such as Mindwalk (GO SEE IT)
* Running my second ' Dare to Dream' workshop at ABN AMRO
* Planning a revolutionary new learning environment with Arthur
* Anticipation for my Boom Chicago Acting classes to start in April
* Training and Facilitating at work as part of my ROLE
* Extending my contract till the end of the year, with more money to TRAVEL
* Having social plans every night and actually needing to say... I NEED ME TIME!
* Surrounding myself with amazing people both within and outside of work

My Kindred Spirit!

St Paddys Day

So, I am one nights sleep away from recovering from the craziest weekend I have had in a long time - joining up with the Nomadfest in Dublin this last weekend.

I have no idea where to start, and feel that pictures probably say more than a thousand words - so I will endeavour to post some up when I have some more time.

Overall it was absolutely awesome.

I had a maniacal time with all the Amsterdam trainees, as well as meeting some new friends and catching up with old family (so to say!)

I promise more details before the weekend but right now I need to get off to write my dare to dream workshop for ABN AMRO!

Hugs All!

The power of a letter...

There is just something special about receiving a letter... at least for me.

In the last week I have received two letters from home, one from mum and one from nanna.

Its wonderful to come home and get mail.

Its wonderful to know that a person I loved has sat with that very same paper, writing down thoughts, and emotions. Thinking and creating for me.

I am going to make a conscious effort to send more letters, to engage in this age old method of communication.

Wonderful Laura!
