January 6th, 2020. Feels like the official start of the new decade aaand I have been spending it in Colombia, alone. My entire family flew home last night. I have a rare gift of managing to book myself flights on the wrong dates. I once showed up for a flight to Australia just to find out my flight took off the night before. Thankfully it always works out. I spent the night in a king size bed and woke up to breakfast in bed answering emails while watching Disney movies in Spanish (for about an hour before I figured out how to switch the channel to English). I’m ready to get back to the studio. SO much already in the works for 2020. But before I hop on this plane home I wanted to share my week in Colombia celebrating Kayla and Flip’s engagement with his family. From all of my travels I can honestly say this was by far one of my favourite adventures and best New Years yet. There were so many traditions! Including dress up. One of my favourites was their tradition after the countdown. At 12:00 am everyone gets a glass of 12 grapes. You make one wish per minute for 12 minutes for each month of the year. There were so many tears and moments shared that I know each and every one of us on this trip will never ever forget. I learned how to ride a horse, who I nicknamed Charlie - short for a name I couldn’t pronounce. I fell in love, with Colombia, with the people, and somewhere within this week I felt like myself again. It’s been a while since I laughed as hard as I have all week. I am so fortunate for the family and the people that surround me. 2019 taught me how truly important that is. I hope you had an incredible holiday! xx C
