I am filled with gratitude every day. I have just spent an amazing 10 days in Santorini with Shiva. The beauty of Santorini is almost beyond words. I swam in the Aegean Sea, climbed to the top of an ancient mesa - summoning courage to overcome fear of heights - and soaked in the local culture. Probably what made the experience even sweeter was sharing it with friends. Reconnecting with Coral, Luciana, Carlyn and meeting her fiance Rick was the best. Our days were filled with yoga, enjoying the sun, exploring the island, and laughing a lot. Our meals became more like family dinners with a table full of food and sharing and laughter. They had a rhythm all their own and we were all in sync. There are so many memories that I will hold dear for the rest of my life. I don't know when I have felt so free.

I have vertigo when I am in high places, but it had never occured to me that I would experience it now. Tom was far behind me and Coral had gone ahead far in front of me.

Looking for the best rocky places to step and pausing to hold the rocks as we climbed higher. It was better.
