It was a starry starry night for this dog of mine,
Lucki be her name and oh how doth she shine...

Ok so it wasn’t really a starry night but the wall saids otherwise:)

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful...but if you really think about it, there is always something to be thankful for…every day. I’m thankful for many people and things in my life, but thankful for my dear furry munchkin. She never fails to put a smile on my face. I seriously think dogs invented unconditional love. It’s true the saying where the owner and the dog start sharing personality traits. We sometimes even look alike! She is an extension of me and I love her dearly. She continues to give me joy every day, and it’s hard to believe she is 12 years next month (84 human years??!!) a senior dog at that! Life is short and I try to spend as much quality time with her as possible. Who am I to say her name is Lucki when I’m really the lucky one to have her in my life.

Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless he/she owned a dog. Do you have a pet? If so, do you feel the same way? xx jt

It’s that time of the season again where everything has pumpkin as the main ingredient. From pumpkin spice lattes to that delicious pumpkin pie from Urth Caffe (obsessed!), it’s pretty much in everything we eat these days...and will carry on into Thanksgiving. Oh lucky me cuz I love me some pumpkin!! In honor of this lovely pumpkin holiday season, I’ve decided to sit on one....or two...or the whole pumpkin patch for this post. :)

Have a safe and Happy Halloween! xx jt

RiSE Festival

A week ago I had the opportunity to attend the RiSE Lantern Festival in the Mojave Desert, Nevada. It is the U.S. first launch of floating lanterns into the sky. It has always been a dream of mine, a bucket list item to see this tradition in Thailand but I hardly wanted to travel all around the world just for the lanterns, so it was a wish come true when I found out it will be held in Nevada. Just a hop, skip and a jump away!

10,000 people with 20,000 floating lanterns....creating magic together. The initial lantern release in unison was so beautiful and moving. I wept with joy and amazement. An indescribable feeling that is equally felt by all those around me. For this moment in time, you felt like you were in heaven, amongst the angels. I know it sounds crazy but it was the most beautiful feeling and I felt really close to my mother who passed 20 years ago. This experience was very symbolic for me and to many of those who have lost their loved ones. Life is constantly moving forward but we made time stand still just for us and our angels. For that, I am grateful.


A snippet of a iMovie I made from my iPhone. It was truly a magical moment in time. Photos & videos does not do it justice. I would go again in a heartbeat. Who’s in for next year?:))) xx

Live. Love. Wander...That is the mantra.

Oh to traverse the Mojave Desert in Nevada of all places, but to witness the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life thus far....RiSE Lantern Festival was truly a magical and surreal experience I’ll never forget. Next post will be all about it! xx
