Why Steep Incline ? For much of my life, it felt like I was either struggling uphill or careening downhill at velocity. Working hard to get up there or heading downhill towards the next crash. On rare occasions, I stopped for breath and admired the view from the summit or down in the valley. It was beautiful. And brief. Now I understand that the steep inclines are not about struggle and pushing, or fear that the brakes won’t work and everything is rushing past too fast. The steep inclines are the journey; the ups and the downs are all part of it - the learning where I can also stop and enjoy the view, simply let myself go. Now I’m just sharing the views from whatever elevation I live reached. I live on a summit and have ups and downs everyday. I'm an Englishwoman who drifted across the channel to Belgium and became a Francophone. Late to marry, quick to divorce, no child of my own, family far away and friends scattered around the world. Happy, creative, curious, enthusiastic (most of the time). Post mid-life crisis... and adjusting to life in “middle-age”. Committed to living life fully and to keep on exploring. Here’s the place I will share my travels, love of art and photography, food and all other things of beauty and joys forever that catch my eye. Enjoy.
