September has arrived but it still feels like summer holidays in the Okanagan for better (beach) or worse (teacher strike-no school for my kids).<\/p>\n

These photos were taken this past weekend. My sister, nieces, 2 of my daughters and I soaked up all the Okanagan sunshine we could. It was a blissful late afternoon that I never wanted to end.<\/p>\n

Put me on a beach, with blue sky, clean water to play in and leave me there for eternity…<\/p>\n

The beach is the one place I allow myself simply to be. No need to do anything. No need to think. No need to talk. If I want to float around in the \u00a0water like a blob, so be it. If I want to lay on a towel in the sand and read, so be it. But most importantly, the beach is a free licence to play.<\/p>\n

The beach is my temple, my sanctuary.<\/p>\n

The beach is the reason I want to live nearer to the equator. Without my escapes to sit by the shore and splash in the water, the winter drags on…escapes to the ski hill just aren’t as Zen.<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun video recap of the weekend that I put together. I hope the short video inspires a blissful summer renaissance, if even for a moment…<\/p>\n
