Lately & Liverpool

Last weekend I had a stirring feeling to get off the island. I decided to just go with and luckily Liverpool is easily a day trip away. Visiting Liverpool takes two and a half hours on the ferry one way and £50. The boat leaves at 7:30 and gets into Liverpool conveniently at 10:00 AM. My day mostly consisted of wandering around. Wandering around Albert Dock and the Tate Museum. I then wandered up to Bold Street. For any Canadian friends it's a bit like Johnson Street in Victoria - but let's remember Liverpool is where the Beatles started so it's little more EXTRA. Of course I had smashed avocado on toast and a mint tea. I spent the rest of the afternoon at Lush getting a massage and picking up a few goodies. Heading home meant another 2.5 hours on the boat. The sun was setting coming back to the Isle of Man and as the boat got closer and closer I felt so happy to have the hustle and bustle of the city fade and the familiar sights and sounds of the island come into view. It really hit me how much the Isle of Man has become home. I walked off the boat and up to my flat with a smile on my face knowing that I'm where I'm supposed to be.

Lately i've been enamoured with the absurdity of life and questioning things, have you? I've been stirred to be asking better question so I wanted to share them here. They came from a video I watched by Michael Beckwith on the MindValley YouTube channel. 

1. What is trying to emerge into my life?

2. How much power can flow through me?

3. What gift am I to give to the world? 

4. What's my next step in the downloading and articulation of my vision?

5. What is the vision for my life?

6. What is the universe wishing to express through me?

Such great questions to think about. That is what has been on my mind lately...

June Days

June was sunny and filled with white wine, learning and some adventures thrown in for good measure. This month I just had a few photos to share mostly from the beach and from the weekend's adventures that have been had. 

May

May's days were filled with beaches, castles and sun. It was my Birthday this month and also 1 year since I moved to the Isle of Man! It seems like it's gone by so fast but it also feels like I've lived a lifetime here since discovering so many new things, a different culture and a way of life. I now know the usual things the island has to offer. I know the sound of the fog horn, I know that when Marks and Spencer is out of sandwiches the boat was delayed. I know the best place to get an iced latte, which coffee shops have the best flat whites for the best price. I know short cuts and alley ways. I know the cheapest place for a drink (cough, quids inn). I know where to get the best espresso martini (cough, bath and bottle). There's lots of things I know now that I had no idea about a year ago, and I know that I like it here.
