Sublime Surroundings - The Book Release Date January 9 th, 2017.

I was sitting on the soft sand in the sunshine on a beautiful beach in Thailand. I stared out at the serene sea that surrounded this tropical island and my thoughts drifted to all the other people in the world working so hard in the city, wanting to be where I was. I could hear you, sense you, and I wanted you to know I that I was hearing you. So I began to write the story of my daily life so we could all savour the moments of life as it evolved into a dream!

This was a labour of love, pushing forward into all those loving feelings made me feel like I was beside the beach. After creating the journals while I was living in Thailand, it took me three years to transform them into one story. Then, it needed a lighter touch. I yearned to work with the words every night during the years that followed as I sat with the laptop in front of me, perfecting the delivery as the white screen glowed with black text conveying the meaning that life loves you.

Over a decade of dedication to this work, we have arrived at the completion of this story. I hope you enjoy it!

Join me on my adventures walking alone through the jungle, meeting new people and trying new things. Eat som tom, pad thai and coconut shakes and open your mind to the tropical fruit that awaits you! Take a dip in serene seas and let nature nurture you while enveloping you in her loving embrace.

"Thailand is a wondrous kingdom, featuring Buddhist temples, exotic wildlife, and spectacular islands. Along with a fascinating history and a unique culture that includes delectable Thai food and massage, Thailand features a modern capital city, and friendly people who epitomize Thailand’s “land of smiles” reputation." TourismThailand.org

In one part of my story on the island of Koh Phi Phi in Thailand, I ventured into a jungle trail alone. I didn't know where the path led but I thought I was meeting my friend on the other side. So I carried on hoping I was on the right path. It was eerie walking through the forest alone, especially after the cobra episode, but you'll have to read the book to find out what happens!
