Productive!

Hello everyone!
It's been a week of awesome productivity and play in my corner of the world :)
The easter long weekend was gorgeous - sunshine and spring all a bloom in Vancouver.  I admired blossoms, had the first ice cream cone of the season and visited the Van Dusen & UBC Botanical Gardens with loved ones for inspiration + delight.  Here are my happy feet a foot in the world :)

The blossoms were just GORGEOUS.  Here is a snapshot of my favorite magnolias!  At the UBC Botanical Gardens there are two trees in particular that must be 50 feet tall - they arch up into the sky and beyond their spray of pink all you can see is the ocean.  It's quite marvelous.

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” - Rilke
Please note that UBC has a huge collection of rhododendrons that are just beginning their blossom now - I love the way they are woven in with our West Coast evergreens and big ferns. Go see them!  They are a delightful combination. Victorian fancy + rain forest!

One of the best things of the week was being able to spend lots of time with my parents. They are super wonderful and hilarious.  Mommy Pham is a deal hound and we hunted down some goodies at a local thrift shop and shopped for groceries at 10% Discount Tuesdays at her favorite store ("Why would you ever pay full price?!?!?"- Mommy Pham wisdom).  Here's me trying my best to share Phamily dinner via pictures - my dad is an amazing cook; here's a sneak peek of his Vietnamese hot pot and fresh hot and sour soup.

All this has kept me much fed and watered as I have played away on computers and doodles.  My two major accomplishments at the end of this week are by Die Awesome facebook page which is a wonderful place to share and dialogue, a forthcoming Death Cafe (Vancouver's first!) and best of all, figuring out Mailchimp in order to send out my Very First Newsletter from www.joantrinhpham.com :)
Highlight:  A whole week to work + play
Lowlight:  A creeping realisation that I have no idea what I'm doing and that there is so much I don't know!
Conclusion:  None of this matters.  Keep playing, keep pursuing my passion and curiosity pausing for moments of stillness and appreciation.

Totally doable :D
Love much,
