UPDATE... I've fallen off the face of earth and back





Hello whoever it's out there. Jade here again!

Well, I apologize for the long neglect. Allow me to explain. 

So much has happened since my last 'official' post. I started my own business, got way too distracted with juggling various projects; then the most unimaginable news: my father passed away suddenly while working at his beloved soapnut plantation at the Tibetan border. I packed my son on my back, travelled to the end of the world to bring him to his childhood home to rest. I was devastated. That same year I lost a baby. 

We also have been migrating yearly to our little mountain hideout in Andalusia, living off the grid for a few months, with no electricity, no mains water, no internet, no distraction. And while all this travelling back and forth was happening, our baby grew into the most enchanting little boy. He just turned 5 a few days months ago.

So this is the short version of the story about why I've been neglecting this blog. During this time I have learnt to deal with the loss of my father. Even though his physical body may have been cremated; I still believe energy does not die, it transfers. His beautiful soul, his heart, still transfers to all who are open to receiving it. I know, beyond a shadow of all reasonable doubt, that if my world could feel his energy, be his energy, that this world would still be a better place. 

Love your families a little better; hold them a little tighter; appreciate them a little more. 

My father always believed that when the world is against you, when nothing else is going right, you should always be able to depend on your family. That's the family man that he was, and that's the legacy that I want to pass down to my son.

I swear. I’ve started writing this blog post quite a few times. I’ve definitely thought about it a great many times. I’ve sworn, an immeasurable number of times, that no, really, this week, this week is going to be the week I’m just going to sit down and finish this post and get back on the blogging bandwagon. And every time, something else comes up that becomes more important, and it ceases to be a Priority. 

So, - I share with you a few glimpses of my family in the past four years to justify for not posting.
The journey is where growth occurs :-)
