Welcome!

The question is often posed of me, "Why, as an American woman, do you live in the small country of Latvia?"

My answer is, "Because I choose to live here."

The Latvian people are connected to nature and the rhythms of life 
- two aspects that I hold in high value.

I want to see the sun rise and set every day. 

I want to experience all facets of Nature - Everything!

In Latvia, I can grow the food I want to eat. 

I can raise my children free from fear, yet full of knowledge that escapes most modern individuals.

This blog will be my attempt to share with you, dear Reader, how life is best spent using one's senses to slow down time and to enjoy life in the present!

What a Life - Abroad!
