About

Hello and Welcome!

If you’re like me, you’ll find that there are so many inspiring things to love in life. And I love and am inspired by many, many of them.  The common thread that I have discovered between all these things is that I love to savour them slowly, giving me time to sink into the emotions and feel the soul in every experience.

Whether it is travelling slower, stopping to take in the beauty of a garden, or feel the rain in a tropical rainforest, each moment I believe must be relished and celebrated for what it reveals to us. For there lays the opportunity to love, learn and grow.

So here I will share with you the soulful experiences I’ve discovered in the journey and the destination. The essence of some of the places I visit, the joy we find in ordinary overlooked moments, and the beauty of life with its magic and its potholes.  Hopefully more magic than potholes.

If you are the kind of person who finds joy in old books and ethereal sunsets, in the shape of a flower’s petals and how the sun glints off resting waves, in clouds that drift by an airplane’s window and warm tea sipped from vintage teacups, in the scent of cut grass and the slow unhurried exploration of a new place on our planet, then we are kindred spirits.

You may know that Alegria means joy.

Join me on this slow intentional journey toward joy, where we explore our own selves while tapping into the soul of places, people, presence and poetry.

Slow down. Feel the magic. See the Beauty. Experience the soul of all things, and

Live life with Alegria!
