stoke the fires of your *atlas* heart

A couple, {heck a few!} urgent things. I'll get to them most hurriedly, so you don't waste a single precious moment that you could be using to sign on for grand explorations and juicy adventures {that you so deserve}.

First, my friend Debbie wants to extend an invitation for you to go to INDIA.

Second,my beautiful blogging friend Lisa has a deadline to meet, so that she can go to MEXICO.

Third, my friend Tara is hostessing the best life-changing trip {trust me, I've done it}, to JORDAN.

Last,but certainly not least, I am taking a group of women through the Women's Travel Network to MOROCCO.

So, now with all of these updates your way...it's all up to you. Maybe it's time to pay it forward and give a little to see another realize the work of her dreams...or maybe it's that time to pack a suitcase with your camera, your journal and a couple of pairs of undies, sunscreen...and hit the road to realize your own sweeping and vast dreams.

I've prioritized the list according to time deadlines. Lisa will need your help within the next ten days. Debbie has room for you up until tomorrow only.

The other two are very important, but can be discussed in another upcoming post real soon. If I were you I'd head over to see the INDIA and MEXICO links first. Thanks friends, fellow adventurers and loving hearts. You are all cherished, deeply, each of you. xo

p.s. photo of the lovely blue doorway taken from a bumbling yet speeding van in the Middle East while driving along sharing cups of hot nuts and listening to this or something like it...in March 2010

An artist dwells here.

Do you ever wish that you could go knock on some stranger's appealing looking door?

The small and quirky home that you pass by on the way to work each morning, must hold so many fabulous secrets!  You wonder...is the owner nice? Would he or she invite me in for tea and to see all the glorious treasures they create each day?

{Next week I shall be brave.  Next week I shall knock on that door!}

The small & quirky property that has my attention, the one with the poppy-lined stone path to it's separate small and gorgeous studio is here...all abloom.

 

Currently my life is in the *upswing*. Fun things are transpiring.

I am planning a garden party for July, a fun one with tarot card readings and candles in china tea cups under a moonlit sky!  We'll eat, drink and share good conversation.  We'll inspire one another.  We'll celebrate the dawning of summer in a way.

All outdoor party ideas are welcome.  I want the guests to feel like they are on a mini all-inclusive fun vacation.  So do share!

{Then I shall share photos with you when the time comes!}

Eagerly we await a guest on a flight from Amman, to our fair city of Toronto this week.  My friend's friend is joining us on a trip to Halifax.  There we shall learn all about National Aboriginal Day, eat delicious food, meet wonderful people, and reconnect with this friend of ours.  I can't wait to share it with you! {Goodness knows I've needed a change of scenery, something to look forward to.  Don't WE ALL???}

xo Dream a little dream of me.....sweet dreams will someday find you....sweet dreams that seem to whisper I LOVE YOU.  Birds singin' in the sycamore tree....xo
