Memoirs

Often, we focus our awareness where we aren’t or when we aren’t. Whether we’re in a heated meeting, or blowing out the candles of a birthday cake, being fully present can make our experiences more positive and memorable. Why are we so often someplace else? When we are, how can we come back? Or better, how can we stay fully present when we want to? ‘We do not remember days, we remember moments’, I find this saying really meaningful and true. Appreciate all the moments we had with one another – Not just the huge moments, but little ones as well.

Here is just a column in which I upload some photos of a few memorable occasions in my life. For more pictures, click here to redirect to my Flickr photostream.
