I just wanted to quickly wish everyone a wonderful New Year! 2016 has been quite a year for me – travel, school, and my health have all sure kept me busy. When I look back at it all I guess I’d say I’m pretty content with everything. Of course there was good and bad, pain and joy, but it’s all helping shape who I am.

Thank you to all the lovely people in my life, all around the world. Much love to everyone. Here’s to a great 2016 and even better 2017 – cheers!

PS – below this great quote from rupi kaur there’s some pics from my family’s visit to the Festival of Lights at Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden (just click to view them bigger)
