Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Blooming Where We’re Planted, and A Taste of Honey

November 30, 2019 by Sharon Nadja Zajdman2 Comments

Blooming Where We’re Planted, and A Taste of Honey

We were a busload of older women off on a jaunt on a hot day in July. Departing from a Montreal seniors’ center, we rode off to Mirabel, located in the Lower Laurentian Hills. In less than an hour we arrived at Routes des Gerbes d”Angelica, a collection of 14 themed gardens which are the creation of 20 retirees who have invested their money and the rest of their lives, it seems, into creating and sustaining a sanctuary of natural beauty. Most of … [Read more...]

Transported into the World of Eden: Three Unique and Enjoyable Aspects of One Quiet, Leisurely Location in the Philippines

Let me hook you on a trip to the Philippines - to Davao City in particular. Imagine the change in feeling from being trapped in one's daily life and the rush and constant demands on your time to a place where life slows down - where one can absorb the peacefulness of a mountain environment. A mountain that surpasses all nearby landmarks. Well, it must be paradise. Higher up in elevation, the cool breeze comforts you. You find that the … [Read more...]

Mumbai- An Irresistibly Fascinating City

According to me, words fall short to praise the Mumbai city popularly known as the “City of Dreams” in India. Previously known as Bombay, it is a city that never sleeps which is absolutely true. This mesmerizing city offers a blend of the ultramodern architecture, historical monuments, beaches, hills and a lot more. Mumbai is also the powerhouse of Indian business, industry, trade, financial and entertainment capital of India. A perfect mix of … [Read more...]

When you learn (yet again) how much you don’t know: Agios Michael Synadon

When you learn (yet again) how much you don’t know: Agios Michael Synadon

We weren’t inside this little church for more than twenty minutes, but that was long enough to be reminded yet again of my ignorance on… well, so many things. Architecture and Greek Orthodoxy are topics that come to mind, as well as the history of the 100+ public and private churches that exist in Skopelos, the little Greek town we’re residing in while my husband completes an artist residency. We discovered one of those churches, the Church of … [Read more...]

Tahiti, Exploring this Gem in the Middle of the Southern Pacific Ocean

Tahiti, Exploring this Gem in the Middle of the Southern Pacific Ocean

I've wanted to visit Tahiti for years but the high cost of airfare has been a barrier to visiting the country. But with recent flights from the west coast of the USA launching earlier this year and prices much more affordable then in the years past, my decision to visit Tahiti became more realistic. The capital city of Papeete is by far the largest city in the country - and yes there is even traffic downtown. But as far as cities go, this is … [Read more...]

Flowers Everywhere! Southern California’s Springtime Bloom

Flowers Everywhere! Southern California’s Springtime Bloom

Driving out in the morning from Mission Viejo to Lake Elsinore mid week, I thought for sure I would have the poppy fields all to myself. I could not have been more wrong. Pulling off the 15 on Lake Street and heading onto Walker Canyon Road I soon found myself in a 'zoo'. Seemingly all of Los Angeles and Orange County had made the trek out this Wednesday morning - traffic officers were directing cars, cars were backed up all the way into Walker … [Read more...]

The California “Poppypalooza”

The California “Poppypalooza”

“It’s everywhere,” he whispers to himself as he finally puts down his tablet and looks out the car window. For once, nature has won over my son’s attention. He puts the electronics aside and sweeps his gaze across the rolling hills surrounding Lake Elsinore. Expansive blankets of orange and yellow paint the otherwise green hills and canyons, with blotches of purple and white laced in between. After months of drenching winter rains, southern … [Read more...]
