when today is done all you have is tomorrow.... SO

Wear great shoes... often

Step out from BEHIND that shadow

LOVE... at every opportunity

CREATE... alot of beats... your own beats

Imagination & Inspiration...

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world"

If only there were more people in the world as profound and wise as Albert Einstein.

Where the streets have no names...

I want to visit the streets with no names, with numerical names, and with names I am yet to know. Pass changing sky lines, and street lights turning on at a glimpse of darkness and hope and off at light and first thoughts.

Visit the big cities of dreams and small towns of ambition.

The best bit I can visit some of my "dream" places, I have no excuse, I need to make this happen. I will make this happen... lets do this... I'm dreaming big ! I'm along for the ride... lets make it a good one and please let is last more than one loop...

There's LIGHT even in the darkest places

New VOW

I vow to write frequently... So you are about to hear rambling.. I can ramble alot... welcome to my world !

The past few days, Banff has treated me to some harsh weather... -30 something... I have a theory where I believe anything below -16 feels the same and it feels bloody cold ! The only problem with these particularly cold (colder than normal) days is that it is absolutely breathtaking scenery.

The sky is clear and a bright bold blue, the mountains shine and the sun hits your face (if you can remove your scarf so you don't look like a ninja for a brief second). It also means your hand freeze as soon as you take them out or your pockets to snap a quick picture - that never does the area justice... its almost painful to look at images that you remember so vividly stunning ! Ah the irony of it all.. something were meant to be seen through the eyes of those experiencing it...

Come in.. I live here

I was in a coffee shop today and looked up to a map of the world on the wall ! I looked to the upper left of the map and said "Canada.... I live here" and looked to the bottom far right and pointed at "Home" ! Time has flown by since my transition to the cold that I need to stop and pinch myself (or look at a world map) to realise that this was not my normal existence or life before a month and a half ago ! It fascinates me ! I feel as though i successfully co-exist in two different locations !

Come In.. this is Canada.. I live here !

My new world is vastly different to my old one... polar opposite in all the obvious ways... but how quickly you adapt. -2 is now considered warm after a week of -25. I would never even consider walking outside without shoes on, or in less than 2 layers of clothing, powder is a frequent word in my vocabulary and I find myself constantly trying to remember whether i count 5 hours backward of forward then switch to convert Canadian time to Aussie time.

I have not been home sick since i arrived, I only wish that sometimes certain people were with me to experience the moment. I frequently walk into shops that are playing songs that remind me of moments.. and I smile... and I love that maybe people in Canada also had experiences or moments to these songs and maybe they are in Australia thinking the same thing ! I sure hope so.. it's Grand ! And people still ride pushy's here.. nothing like a pushy to make you think of Aus !

Some photos attached to keep it real ! I vow to post more photos soon there are so many... and will document my activities... i have purchased a snowboard... its amazing.. me on the snowboard.. not so much !

Vermillion Lakes... it still amazes me that giant bodies of water can freeze

Ah snow angel !

This was a particularly cold day... I thought my fingers were NEVER going to regain feeling

Banff town.. when i first arrived... still probably partially Brown

Fancy a ride ...
