Making Life

Many moons from the last post, da Belle is Back!

Back from Canada after spending a month in lovely winter...
Back in Singapore for two months before going back to Canada in May...
And finally, I'm back on this blog!

This past year has been so topsy turvy, it's been hard to maintain a blog properly. But hey, a few notes here and there, once in a while, is better than none at all, right? So here's da Belle checkin' in...

So what's been happening? After 10 months of adjustments, transitions and hard work freelancing, I finally took a break to Caaaanada, where I spent some awesome time on the snow-capped mountains of Banff and the prairie terrain of Calgary. Not to mention the winter beaches of the hidden escapades of cliff-ridden water-surrounded Tofino and Ucluelet... awesome!!! And the company with me made it all the more fun and delightful -- you know who you are :)

And now that I'm back for two months in the sweltering heat of Singapore, I'm packing up to Make The Move. I'm finally packing up my life here and making that West-bound trip that I'd been talking about for so long.

Am I crazy? Probably. But I don't want to live my life with regrets and dashed hopes, and turning 60 years old and wondering, "What if...", "If only..." or "I should've...".

So that's why I'm throwing caution to the wind, and simply jumping off the safe confines of the cliff... in order to find my hopes, find my dreams, find myself...

And perhaps one day, when this wandering pilgrim on her sojourn can finally find her own nest to settle in, there will be a story of travels to tell... about how life is how you make it to be. No one will live it for you -- it is up to you to find yourself.
