New Year’s Day Tradition Since 2015, when I married my husband and moved overseas to Qatar, I enjoyed a tradition of starting each New Year’s Day in a different country.

Personal Development and Appreciating Authentic Moments
To me, at this time, an authentic moment is when I’m free from my mind – free of the maladaptive coping skills I blogged about yesterday. Here is the link if you’d like to know more about what that means: Approaching 50 Years Old…… In an authentic moment, I am free of toxic guilt and…

The Flüela Pass, Graubünden, Switzerland
Driving through this high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps, on our way to France, was yet another memory! Not so much for the beauty – and it was beautiful -but for the sheer fear and excitement of the experience!

Hiking – Beatenburg, Switzerland
My husband and I decided to trek up one of the many hiking trails in the area, some leading up to the apex of the Niederhorn Mountain. Purposely ignoring the many rigorous fitness stations located along the trail, we pushed onwards, steeply upwards…taking many breaks along the way to catch our breath!! We made it as…
Beatenburg, Switzerland
This was the start of our two weeks in Switzerland during the Christmas Holidays ! Driving up the many switchbacks felt like we were heading up to heaven as we passed through the clouds and onward to the village. The village offered a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of more tourist bound destinations in…

Our Christmas vacation started with a night in Geneva. We found a quaint little hotel with wee little rooms! Geneva is the French-speaking part of Switzerland, and to my pleasant surprise, felt like I was back in Paris again… We found a wonderful pub to relax and eat called Les Brasseurs! My burger was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!…
