February 23, 2012

It would be easy to let these days pass by without taking time to write it all down, but I’ve been re-inspired lately to stop and smell the roses (if you will) and to remember the good and the bad times. I would hate to wake up one day, having zoomed in and out of [...]

Iqaluit – “place of many fish.” If you’ve never experienced the midnight sun in Canada’s Arctic – I strongly urge you to book a ticket north for next summer and see it first hand. The decision to spend Canada Day in Iqaluit excited me more than usual. I think it made me feel *extra* Canadian [...]
