It’s not often I can remember what I was doing exactly one year ago to the day. Today is different. I remember exactly what I was doing. In fact, for the past week I’ve been remembering exactly what I was doing exactly one year ago to the day. How could I ever forget?

So many wonderful memories, visions, lessons, and inspirations given to me in one week. Of course I’ll never forget the friends I made during that week of a lifetime…

One year ago today Charlotte treated me to a muffin and a Coke in bed for breakfast in our state room (what could be better!) because it was my birthday. She also gave me a card and a pretty decoration, both of which I still cherish today, as a happy birthday wish. After a week of dreams come true we flew back to Minnesota. From now until forever I’ll remember that birthday, that vacation, those people, the continent. Forever I’ll dream of a day when I can return to a place filled with castles and vineyards, cathedrals and sweet shops.
One year ago today, flying home, and flying high.
