Amazing…
I was watching telly with my eyes closed and pushing out zzzzz in our living room. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I looked outside and saw this. Sometimes you don’t have to go anywhere to find something beautiful. You just have to wake up at the right time.

Sometimes you don’t have to go anywhere to find something worth stopping for. I looked outside and the whole sky had turned pink. No hike. No race. No adventure. Just one of those little moments that makes you look up and think, wow.

Who says you need “the look” to appear on the cover of a fashion magazine? Apparently, all you need is a patient husband, far too many photos, Photoshop and a fake magazine-cover app. Dream achieved. Credibility: questionable. 😂

A cancelled flight to Italy, an impossible connection, an unhelpful travel agent and one very expensive overnight stay later, I somehow found myself back in Zürich — alive, well, and considerably poorer. 😂
