It all started from a dream

On December 17, 2010 I woke up to a dream of seeing the ocean.  As I've never seen it before , nor spent time by the mountains I wanted this to be something I needed to do before 2010 was through.  And so I put it on my bucket list, laughingly going to work like any other day.  Dreary grey skies lurked above me, running and going nowhere always ending up feeling unfulfilled.  For years I belonged to someone, played by their rules and sometimes defiant in my own I entered the office at about 8:15 am and sat at my desk.  The feeling didn't leave me and it had gripped me hard.  So I did some research .. and by 9:45 am EST I had purchased my ticket , return (unfortunately) to the Pacific Coastline in Vancouver.  By 11:15 am I had a hotel room booked as well at an incredibly cheap rate of $ 39.00 / night!

Now that I am back in Toronto, I have several hundred photographs to go through and had documented most of it, met lots of amazing people and regained my self worth again.  There is nothing more powerful in life that the ominous beauty of the planet in which we live in.  I also learned you can't run from your troubles, because they ultimately will follow you until you can deal with them effectively.

Over the next while I will be posting photographs and some stories of my journey!!  Hope you'll follow my blog---->
