Remember to smell the Roses

Well study has finally ended and have to say I am sad. Dinner at the Harvard Club on Thursday night was a long walk through the hallowed grounds. I was awestruck, amazing gardens and architecture...you can feel the brains in all the libraries whirling. Dinner was oh so very polite...and I walked back to Harvard Square to catch a cab and stopped at the main library for a look. Like nothing you can imagine...

Tonight I had the honor of a wonderful dinner with a new friend Heather. When I arrived she gave me a gorgeous small painting of a red poppy. It is truly a treasure..but check out her website...her paintings are exquisite. We ate great vegetarian food and a little restaurant in Cambridge, the food was great some of the best vegetarian food ever. We chatted about art and the challenge of marketing work and Heathers up and coming exhibition. We clicked immediately and will keep in touch.

On Saturday morning I met Sebouh, a young photographer also from Boston. Sebouh takes amazing photos but is struggling to get people to assist him to really explore what he wants to do. After having a stroke in his early 20's Sebouh is finding that career counselling is centered around him being a disability advocate which does not match his aspirations. This is a real barrier to Sebouh building a life he is satisfied with. His photos demonstrate a real ability for someone who has almost constant double vision...I have some photos in my suitcase to bring home...

Sunday I answer emails, write some notes and take stroll around the Freedom Trail in Boston. Got lost on the train...its okay you just get off and go back to where you a started and try again. Boston is a pretty city on the water...shame I have no photos they are on my iphone that got lost.... more about that later.
