What an adventure it has been - travelling the world, writing its stories, buying our first apartment, moving countries, building a home in a foreign land, learning the nuances of a new city, navigating through cultural and language differences, running a team, raising a puppy, and so much more… It was quite a bit to pack into twelve months.
Yet, in the midst of the busyness laced with a seemingly endless stream of changes, grace and gratitude continue to be my heart’s lifeline and my soul’s song.
Less breadth, more depth.
To be focused on what truly matters, not what is popular. To be defined by being, not by doing. To be anchored in the eternal, not the ephemeral.
If I were to round up my favourite moments from the year, these four would the defining highlights:
- Celebrating my birthday in Cambodia and building a water well for the locals in a village in Siem Reap, thanks to the generous contributions from family and friends.
- Receiving the keys to our apartment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia just days before moving countries.
- Saying yes to a job opportunity in Bangkok and starting my journey as an expat in one of my favourite cities in the world.
- Having my heart forever smitten and irrevocably stolen by Flynn, our grey toy poodle.

As the pages gently turn and we inhale the scent of a new page, pen swirling to write the story of who we are becoming and with the promise of more ahead, I am evermore thankful for new beginnings. There are chapters in our lives that mark us forever - 2022 is one of them. Here's to a year that has exceeded expectations - to more wild adventures, fearless love, and dreams fulfilled.
Happy New Year, everyone!
With love from our little family,
Flynn + Flynn's Mummy.
