nothing like being locked out of the room in the middle of the night....
oh...home on the range.....
derica stop taking pictures of yourself....entertain me with your cunning wit.
how do they walk on this f***ing sand in these wedges!!? dana's attempt at class on the dunes of northern brasil.

so ive had a few days off...and have used these days to 'get my house in order'. i have packed and re-packed and then re-packed yet again. it seems that i am packing for 4 different locations. i feel i need to leave some stuff here in whistler as a bit of a prophetic stance. one foot here in my canadian home so to speak....then i have some stuff that im storing at my parents place to eventually move out to brasil where i will be moving in april...then i have some stuff that i need for my 2 months in africa feb-march. adn the rest of it has been chucked or given away...a lot of it. down-sizing yet again. its amazing how each time i find more stuff i dont want to need in my life.
this time packing is different from all the other times. it feels like im packing for many homes...long-term places where i will invest and be a part of. like god is giving me the places my feet will impact.
i must say its my best packing job yet....i have managed to sqwish exceptionally large things in small places defying the space rules altogether. its taken literally about 10 hours of my life so far.
but from my inbox to my underwear drawer...things are in order. loose ends tied up and feeling ready to take on whats next. its been a nice time of rest and reflection here in the mountains. i think whistler will be that place for me in my life. dreaming, reflection, work, but not suffering....like a safe place or space....i think we all need places and moments like that in our lives.
africa seems to be popping upin to my life constantly now...books, documentaries, movies, thoughts, friends who are there already or planning to go....which makes me hopefull that feb and march mean africa more and more.
another theme that has come up in these last few days with great force is that of refugees here in canada. i need to learn more about this and feeling a strong pull to be a part of this. hmmm...

the receptionist at the local doctors office also is the mary kay cosmetics consultant in the area....who also builds kitchens. how weird is that? and dont ask why i was at a mary kay party....long story.
did you know bears can sleep walk? i thought i was in the clear for a few months....aparently not.
the fast and the furious isnt such a bad film....the second one is even better...shocking admission.
my moon boots are officially cool.
