Chatty Lass

It feels as though I haven’t truly written for the longest time.

Life has been happening (to say the least) with work, freelance projects, social appointments and planning… for the future. I’m physically tired, but spiritually soaring; a concoction of emotions, but for good reason.

I am so aware of the times which we are living in, and I am full of thanks (I did not misspell the title of this post, otherwise I wouldn't be of much use in my profession) for all things, at this point in time. Thankful for things big and small, significant and trivial, extraordinary and mere.

God is faithful. He is good. It took me awhile to be able to vocalise this, after all which has happened. While I may have had my doubts, His nature remains unchanged - His love is ever true, inherently persistent and without condition. It is utterly mind-blowing to know that He listens to the secret whispers of our heart, muttered softly in the dark of night, and brings them to fulfilment when you least expect it.

Looking ahead, October will be quite a handful - Weddings and parties every weekend of the month, more events to show up at, bittersweet goodbyes and expectant hellos.

Let the future begin.

Koh Lanta, Krabi is the largest of 52 islands in an archipelago protected by the Mu Koh Lanta Marine National Park. It took us three hours to get to our resort from Krabi’s International Airport. In that time, we obediently sat through two painfully slow car ferry rides, felt every hump and bump of the dusty roads and just when it started to get unnerving, our idyllic resort came into view.

At that moment, every trace of tiredness left our weary bodies and we were instantaneously zapped back to life. Our welcome drinks were waiting for us when we arrived and after showing us around the grounds, we were escorted to our lavish room.

Ravenous after a lengthy journey, we ordered in room service and were sprawled on the gazebo; gleefully waiting to masticate our dinner.

Three days flew by in a jiffy and like all good things, our almost perfect vacation had to come to an end. Almost perfect because… On my 2nd day there, my royally clumsy self missed a step, there was a look-ma-no-hands descend onto the gravely grounds and I rose to my full height with a sprained ankle and significantly red (and bloody) battle scars.

That little boo-boo aside, allow me to entice you with snapshots I’ve gathered throughout…

Our posh room.

Superb spread at the breakfast buffet, with made-to-order pancakes, waffles and cold-pressed juices.

Crown Reggae Bar.

This hits the spot - Sipping a Mojito and sunset-watching.

Complimentary finger food and snacks.
