Oh, PlantPath Girl is Going to England!

Why hello my little seedlings! Getting enough sunlight to perform photosynthesis? You sure are receiving adequate precipitation to grow into something b-e-a-u-tiful! I have some extremely exciting news to share with all ya'll! I am visiting Anna in England over our spring break! :D :D :D :D

Let all of your troubles, worries, sorrows and pains flow over the rocks and fall away. Just let them go. Can you hear the rumble of the waterfall? Can you see the water sliding over the edge? Can you feel the power of letting go?

Let your mind and heart be open. There are always bumps, twists, turns, and rocky paths but we can overcome these. Where there is turmoil, focus on remaining your mind calm and open like the picture above. Can you feel the relief?

Ky and I will be there for 9 days, which may seem like a long vacation but it's not enough! We are planning on visiting our friend Zac who is studying abroad in London too! This is our unofficial plans (if Anna approves)!! Sat/Sun stay in London to visit Zac and tour the place. Monday see the Cliffs of Dover and then head to Shaftesbury (Anna's hometown). Tuesday we want to go to Stonehenge and relax in Shaftesbury. Wednesday we are leaving up to Anna to decided. Thursday and Friday - Ky and I want to go to Northern Ireland to see Giant's Causeway and lounge in the Emerald Isle! Saturday we would (hopefully) go to Anna's university - Warwick (one of the Russel League universities which is equivalent to America's Ivy League Universities). Sunday we leave our friends and go back to Wisconsin :(

We are Earth. Connect to Her. Imagine you're standing in this field! There is a gentle breeze that lifts your hair from your face, the grasses brush against your skin, the clouds paint pictures in the sky. Take a deep breath in - can you smell Nature?

Find Beauty in Everything. The sun is setting behind you, casting a yellow glow on the mountains, the serene pond, the sky. The only ripples are those when you dip your feet in. The only movement is your breathing. There is only you and Nature.

To me, it actually doesn't matter what we do when we are in England. I am just so happy to see Anna again!! It will be about 8 full months since I last saw her :(  After this trip, who knows how long it will be until we meet up (we are both graduating this semester). It's a really sad thought so I'll focus on the positive. I'M GOING TO ENGLAND IN 39 DAYS!!!! AYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!
