A very humbling sabbatical I had in one of the toughest, loneliest and surprising cities in the world.
I <3 London...take away the frills & the ooh-la-la!!!, it was what I needed to leave all THAT behind.
Onwards and upwards!
There's always a mad rush to something, somewhere... But victory doesn't always come to those who finish first. Sometimes...there's no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's hastier decisions. You can't always go with the throng who could be wrong. Sometimes you have to be ALONE...to be enlightened.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be. Simplify your life. Take away the clutter. Get rid of destructive elements- abusive people, nasty habits & dangerous liaisons. Don't abandon your responsibilities, but don't overdose on duty. Don't live life recklessly w/out thought and feeling for your family. Be true to yourself. Don't commit when you're not ready. Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you. You light up your life. You drive yourself to your destination. NO ONE COMPLETES YOU- EXCEPT Y-O-U. It's true that life doesn't get easier with age. It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions. Live your dreams. And don't lose your faith. Don't grow old. Just grow up.
