on the road... from Portland

I am on weekend trip with my Mom and my sister in Portland. It has been a very long time since I traveled without Satchi and Coco. It took me little while to get used to being on my own. I definitely miss them but also so thankful that Frido got the home front covered this weekend. 

I crushed to sleep as soon as I boarded on the tiny airplane this morning and felt like I was literally floating for a while... in sleep. Going back and fourth between past, present and future. Half dreaming and half remembering. After I woke up from my power nap, I was ready to soak up the inspiration from this weekend!

Here is the visual vignette of today and what I was inspired by. Being in Portland definitely reminds me of my time in Seattle... before kids. The apartment we are renting via airbnb brings memory of Suzanne, my lovely roommate in Seattle. It reminds me those days in the past existed in my life and has become a part of whom I became today even though I don't think of it often because memory feels so so so far away. 

I am certain that this trip like others in the past will steer me in the direction it is meant to do. Let's see what tomorrow brings:)
