The sea wall
This was my view walking along the sea wall to the gym yesterday. Looking from Coal Harbour towards North Vancouver

Is being "social", always that social?
I have been very tardy in my blog writing, but the truth is I am in such a wonderful place (in so many ways) that to stop and write about my adventures would be to miss out or live a little less in the present.
As someone who works with social media day in day out, it becomes an unfortunate occupational hazard to be constantly think about "sharing", be it via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, Skype, Google+...you see where this is going.
I have had to make a conscious effort to reinforce my own values to stop and smell the roses. I can always share it with you later.
So while I have ideas for blog posts most days and so many things I want to share, I hope you, my family and friends, understand that at some point, I have to put the iPhone down, step away from the computer and really enjoy each day.
I see my blog becoming more of a photo journal, a way in which I can share my experiences without having to put time aside to sit and write, free of the feeling of guilt that descends when I haven't written for so long.
I hope instead that I will speak to you all via skype, telephone or even more wonderfully, face to face, so that I can fill you in more personally and more importantly, we can exchange ideas and experiences!
If you have come to my blog via a moving to Vancouver website or Google search, please feel encouraged to comment or email me. I am always excited to hear from fellow adventure seekers, expats or new comers to the area, especially if you like to spend your days outside and your evenings on the dance floor...
But for now, I will close the laptop, sit back, take a sip of wine and enjoy the sunset from my balcony.
I'll tweet about it later...
