Here’s to an adventurous 2017!

It’s no secret that many people were happy to see the back of 2016… and yes… I agree it was not the best year on record. Many things happened which made us all think about the state of the world in which we liveMany would also consider the word ‘meh’ as an appropriate adjective when it comes to describing 2016… I hear you too!

But when I was challenged to find what was good or even (dare I say it) awesome about 2016, I was able to reflect on some pretty wonderful things.

It was another in which to experience, learn and grow – and while I hope that these are aspects of life which I will always embrace – here are some more concrete examples of what made the last year great:

In 2016…

…we travelled to Asia for 5 weeks (as well as smaller trips to Belgium, Norway, The UK and Germany)…

…we moved and completely renovated our new apartment here in Stockholm…

… and our music went from strength to strength… image

Life adventures happened – and for the most part, it was because we made them happen.
We planned. We decided. We booked.
We wrote. We composed. We recorded.
We put ourselves out there.

We may only be able to play our teeny, tiny part when it comes to political referendums and elections and it may not go down as we feel it should have done.  We have no control over the losses and tragedies that passed us by in 2016.  And don’t get me wrong, these are not small things – especially where grief is involved.

2016 is done.
…but we are not.

I will continue to put myself out there and push all the opportunity doors that 2017 brings my way.

2017 is before us my friends and I, for one, intend to embrace the whirlwind that it will no doubt end up being.

Happy New Year friends – here’s to an adventurous 2017!
