Bonjour mes amies!
  
 Evonne - I had a fantastic, wonderful time!  Thank-you 

   
 Montreal was amazing!  We decided to just stay there... and not venture off to NY... anyone and everyone knows that NY cant be done in just a few hours... not fairly anyway.  I had one week of relaxation, great food, great company, and I was especially drawn to Old Montreal.  This city I think is one of Canada's best kept secrets..although it isnt really a secret.  It made me realize just how big and diverse Canada is.  Made me realize that I really need to take up french again... my high school french is just not what it once was.  I spent the first part of the trip looking for signs, looking for buildings that had stuff in it.   Then I stopped.  I realized that when I "look" for stuff, it usually means I am not ready.  Much like my desire to search for who my guides are, when I go off "looking for them", I realize I am not ready for them.  When I stop and let life happen the way it should, then things will present themselves as it should and will.  I have thought long and hard about Kellog's one comment - well his post without a doubt gave me a few things to gnaw over - but one particularily has made an impact... "Everyone who has a song you can hear, will sing it.  Everyone who has a loving msg to share, should prove it.  You who have a mind/heart to bear - must use it."  I have spent such a large part of my life shutting things off... and now that I understand things a smidge more (knowing that there is still way so much out there to be learned), am I ready to prove what I share...?  This is an answer that I only can give, this I know... I know that I can feel things, sometimes see things, hear things... I have spent years running... but now that I dont want to run, and I want to overcome such fears, should I just focus on the now rather than what is to come?  Common sense tells me - focus on the now.  Much like my furry little feline friends, a large part of me thirsts for what lies ahead... curiousity allows me to move ahead.  I can do both... perhaps the best thing I can do is just take one day at a time.  I love the feedback that I have received on this page... thank-you everyone!  
 Gosh I hope this post made sense... I am still on holiday mode.
