Moving to the city of Calgary last year, imagine my surprise when I came across this gorgeous and special place, right within the city and only 5 minutes from my home!  I had to pinch myself!  Well, we are only 1 1/2 hrs from the breathtaking scenes within the Rocky Mountains, but what a delight to have something so close to home.  Even before discovering this though, there were many places within the city that stirred my soul, grounded me, and restored harmony, and these special spots  exist in every city.  Perhaps there is just one spot that you like to return to time and again because of the unique elements that speak to you – the specific trees and plants, manicured vs untamed, cobblestones vs dirt paths, the character houses that surround the park or highrises in the background,  whether there is the sight and sound of water, people milling about or solltude.  Whatever and wherever it is, BREATHE it in, SEE it, FEEL it, smile because of it, and return to it!
