Elle’s Journey

Hello beautiful ones!

I am back in Seattle since the Summer Solstice and my birthday in mid-June. The weather here in Seattle has been absolutely FABULOUS since I’ve returned. Some good magic must have followed me.

My first impulse after getting home off of the ship was to sleep a very, very long time, then to crawl out of bed late in the morning and walk out into my mother’s lovely garden. I laid my back down in the grass and let the sunshine envelop me. Then I became so aware of what I hadn’t had the chance to cherish for the past four and a half months – the beautiful sounds and smells of life on land. The wind blowing through the trees was exquisite. The fly buzzing around my head made me laugh. And the smell of the wind with so many stories that it carried to me was indescribable. All of this was so refreshing and intoxicating and down-right wonderful, I laughed until my belly was sore and laid there in silence afterward for quite some time. Bliss.

So indeed, I am here in Seattle and would love to share stories of my last quest before I leave again. There is a lot to sort through here in Seattle before I’m back aboard a ship around August 12th. I’m likely to be in Seattle until that time. If you are in the area please call me or email me so we can get together. I would love to see you.

AND. . . .SAVE THE DATE next Sunday, July 16th at 5:30 pm

I’ll be pulling pictures and stories together to share that evening. Let’s plan on finger food and drinks and good socializing. Location will be announced in the next couple days (someplace in Seattle). I’ll jump in with stories and pictures at around 6 pm.

The theme is QUEST. The past 8 months have been a quest for me and I would love to share some amazing experiences and stories from what feels like a world away. Come with a story about your own story of a QUEST and we’ll re-write the Grail Tales together!

Here’s some photos to share right now.
