Six months later! Now it's May 2014!

Where does the time go?  In short, Christmas here in Burnaby, one wonderful too-short week with Rosemary and Matthew in San Miguel De Allende.  Tutoring ESL in Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam and all students progressed nicely.  Most of them have got offers to one or many universities in Canada.  I give the occasional massage or private yoga training session.  Also I do some volunteer work for various groups.  Arran and I celebrated our birthdays a few weeks ago and sunny weather and beautiful nature has surfaced about us.

I am very excited about two things I am doing this year!

First, I am going to Ireland next month, June.  After visiting family in Dublin area I will take off for the west of Ireland.  I have been accepted by the Galway University into a four week Irish Studies graduate credit course.  The Galway Arts Festival is on at the same time and, after my course, end of July, I plan to hold a small writing (yoga) movement workshop for folks living or visiting Galway.  I am hoping that friends will join me on July 23 or 24 for a few days to take short cycle and walking trips in the west.

Second, in November my good friend from Vancouver Maureen P, and I are putting on a writing/ yoga movement workshop in the lovely San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.  This four day work shop is called "Relaxing into Memoir".  We are both in the planning stages.  We have booked a perfect venue called LifePath and they are advertising for us.

Please go into my website to find out more about the happenings in Galway and in Mexico.  I will try to keep my blog up to date as I move forward.

It is all so good!  I am so grateful for these opportunities and for my good health.
