2023: The Year-Long Birthday

Festivities started in March with Shannon in Lahaina Maui…the sound of the ocean putting me to sleep every night.

Early June found me in Victoria with pals Jaya and Jill who feted me with many surprises and a cake a day!

So much fun…so spoiled!

For my actual birthday on June 18—delicious friends and food at Dockside on Granville Island— Chris, Lib, Beth, Jacquie and son Christian .

Lyson gave me one of her paintings called The Healer- I love it so much and feel so honoured!

Cath Bond brought gorgeous hydrangeas in a cobalt blue planter to grace my deck!

My beautiful friend/neighbour Stephanie took me to a spa in the woods where we did ice cold baths and saunas for 3 hours! Fantastic!!!

All this led up to The Grand Tour — another highlight in this amazing year! Here are some more pics of people I saw across the miles.

And finally Esmé who I celebrate every day of every year… on her 5th birthday!
