I spent 5 days in Beijing last week for a workshop and those days were filled with blessings.
The day before I left, my Mom called her friend, who opened her beautiful home to me, which was closer to my meeting venue than the hotel I had originally booked. So I just had a 15min stroll in the cool (but polluted) Beijing air to my workshop everyday.

Bright blue skies and lovely weather (apparently a rarity in Beijing) surrounded me for 2 out of the 5 days.
The trip to Beijing was also an opportunity for me to meet with old and new friends in the climate change circuit.

I also had the chance to see a bit of the city in the free time after the workshop :)

I thank God for blessed trips like these, for creating such a wonderful world for us to discover and for brining me home safe to loving arms :)
