Dear Mum...

I am writing to you as I can finally report that we have a strong possiblity of a place we want to call our home... I know you don't speak that much spanish but I am sure the pictures will help give you an idea...

Love Sarah


Just kidding... but what a cute/very alternative lifestyle place to live! Unfortunately it would not fit all my shoes...

Going by how bad my mariado (dizzyness) is becoming I think I should seriously look into becoming my own self sustaning source of energy... All this spinning! I could heat the house with this! I am trying to calm down and to not stress so that it subsides a bit but it doesn't seem to be working! One positive thing is that the long lost passport is now in my hands! It's a biometric jobby. It's funny as it expires in 2016... the date makes me feel funny like writing a date 10 years in the future makes me feel like there will then be accessible space travel and other strange futuristic things happening then... guess it would have been the same back when I was 20 and I had my first passport issued... who would have thought I would be writing about a biometric passport now? It's a very modern looking thing... however I am mildly convinced that they are able to track my every movement by this biometric mechanism so they know where I am at all times... paranoia? Did you call me an asshole? LOL

The ever so clever Sinead

Is in the front running for providing leads to the whereabouts of one mr. Woody Allen. It's hilarious! She informs me he was staying in London in a flat let out by the same estate agents I used while living in Notting hill... I'm sniffing along that trail... Lets see if my contact there still works there!

Congrats to her btw on finding a new and most fabulous job!!!

Today I am buried under numbers like you can not beleive! must tie everything up so that it's tickity boo before I fly to the great white north. I know it's 16-18 degrees here but it still feels chilly... I looked up the temp in Toronto yesterday and was reminded of a very different reality! Snow boots here I come!

Spirals...

Once upon a time long ago back in the land of Ottawa and Filament Communications my friend mark sent me a url to a website... I was so enamored, I love the site and the wide flow of her creativity. I once said to Mark in passing 'I wish I could be spiral girl'... Mark is wise, very wise... he wrote to me a few hours later... a simple email saying... 'sarah, there is no need for you to be spiral girl, because you are you, and that's pretty damn good too!'

I think I will always remember that... I know in the last few years I have had some enormous highs and enormous lows... but I think If I take a bit more time to take a look inside, I may just be able to remind myself of Mark's words more often. I think this came to me today as I was writing an email to my friend Hon whom I've not spoken to in ages! I was sending him my host of URL's for all my projects and stuff that I call my life... and yes, I guess time and a bit of faith in myself has allowed me to do some interesting things too... for that I am greatful.

Sometimes it's nice when you get a little glimpse of yourself growing up... too often I forget, but perhaps I should not rush too much... see the world as the here and now and not constant planning the future... Can you tell I have been watchin a load of american made for TV xmas movies dubbed into Spanish. Yup. I'm afraid so!
