Last week I was working in New York City, needless to say it was a little disconcerting going from Haida Gwaii to the Big Apple. Trust me, moving from island time - to the hustle and bustle of the big city - is a study in contrast.
Over the past few years, I’ve undergone a revolution. I am no longer searching. I've learned that if you are always trying to fill the voids, you miss the important things in life. So much of it is out of our control – the only sensible thing is to let go and learn to live in the moment.
Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean that I am always in a state of nirvana – life still has it’s ups and downs– it's all part of the journey.
So at the risk of sounding like a drama queen, here is my New York “it” moment.
This is a cell phone image from the roof of the Met, where I'm sipping a glass of champagne and taking in the sunset. Feeling connected, blessed, and overwhelmed with love for my family and friends.

Beautiful setting and sentiments and soul. You're always inspiring Mika. Miss you.
Ah....nothing like a New York Minute. Hard to imagine such a peaceful look in a rat race city but you managed to find it and capture it!
Ok, there is something to be said for really, really big cities. I had a very similar moment in Paris.
