Sights and Sounds: Life in the Valley of batequim

Since being back in Canada... with everyday access to television and being thrown into the new normal, finding simple moments of beauty and calm has felt so much more difficult.


Feeling ungrounded, I put together this video of sights and sounds, beautiful moments from my time in Portugal to remind myself of the power of mindfulness and the value of simplicity.


Lessons learned while travelling aren’t always obvious at first. It takes time to fully process the experience and integrate them into your life.


Moments are precious.
Stop, close your eyes and listen... what do you hear?
Open your eyes, and don’t just look, see.
