You know that feeling when you go back to your childhood in just a second?
It’s been a long ride since I don’t feel this. I couldn’t even remember when was the last time, but it happened last weekend.
We visited a sunflower field right here in Quebec and I felt the love, freedom and pure bliss like how my kids felt, it was pure magic.
Today, we celebrate 7 years living in Canada. seven.
How did this happen? How fast time is passing by? I can’t even understand nor explain it.
Thankful for this beautiful country, every minute of this Ode to Life is dedicated to you.
Happy Canniversary!

Dear Toonies,
