Friends, I had the best time in my beloved Canada!

Hugged my mum a million times, celebrated her 90th birthday (we wore yellow…from The 10 Minute Fix, remember?), met up with blog readers (a treat!), saw my best friend from high school — we’ve known each other 41 years — and finished off with four days in Vancouver with my favourite cousin, who’s like a bonus sister to me. The laughing dude above is one of several in Morton Park, Vancouver.

And you?? In case you haven’t been asked today, how are you?

Where’s your heart at?

Have the winds of change been blowing your way?

Wish I could gather all of you up and invite you to my kitchen table. I’d make you lunch, probably this most delicious salad in the world, and ask you how you are.

Then I’d sit back and listen.

I’m feeling so contemplative, like I’m birthing a change but I’m not sure what it is yet.

So this is what I’m doing:

1. Walking a lot.

2. Putting myself to bed early.

3. Eating leafy greens at every meal. Ridiculous, but greens make me feel happier. Kinder to myself.

4. Wondering about my life….

Because this is true for all of us:

For me, it’s time to sit down and think about what I love and where I’m heading.

Sending so much joy your way today. I hope something unexpected and wonderful happens to you.

Love Catherine x

PS. The fun stuff!

• A pic of the salad - my all-time favourite. Here’s the link again (via my author website). This salad is worth the effort. It is!

• Really, really want to order these sandals. I love all the colours. Supposedly so comfy!

• And my sweet cousin recommended these cutie summer sandals. I have always wanted ALL THE SHOES….and ALL THE SALADS.
