In reply to Shing.

Hey Shing – glad you enjoyed reading!! You’re such a sweetheart, thank you for your compliments, you make me blush!

Do you think that there is usually a location attached to that state of mind? I think you’re right though, that paradise is a state of mind based on feelings experienced in a place. Like when you reach a top of a mountain and just stand there breathing triumphantly, I always associate that feeling with paradise, though I certainly wouldn’t want to build a home right there. What kind of associations do you have with paradise?

Loved this slice into Michel’s life. You have a talent at bringing something out in your readers, you make me think and feel something after reading your posts. Like this one for example, I’m now thinking about what paradise means to me. Largely I think paradise is much more a state of mind than a specific location. However, the two often go hand in hand.

I loved this story, and you told it so beautifully! And I so agree that paradise is subjective, but that we should all work towards creating it for ourselves.

In reply to Dalene. Hi Darlene, it's so sweet of you to take a look at mine in return! I loved your blog, I'm sure I must've seen it in passing somewhere before, but I got completely into it today and had been browsing around for a whole hour before I even realised what the time was. I very much admire you two and the success you're making of house sitting and travelling. Thanks for stopping by my blog too, means a lot to me :)

It is always great to read about those who throw in the corporate life and build one of their own…and what better than an undiscovered slice of paradise.
