Driven by three weeks of intense forest fire smoke, the accompanying relentless headache and a stir crazy feeling of being cooped up under a thick wool blanket sky – I found myself miraculously on a direct flight to California one week ago today. What a glorious gift of generosity from the Universe! Many mini-miracles led to a grand weekend of art, scrumptious food, dear good friends, ocean energy and a mystical magic afternoon with giant Redwoods.

Amazing soulful, eyeful, lung clearing, heart pumping, brain teasing plunge into city, coast, forest and friends – what a weekend!
