Self Care

 By Maryanna Gabriel

The father of my children died one year ago today. It seemed important to do nurturing things. My back was hurting badly, so I had work done on it and without any debate with myself, drove to my favourite place, Demitasse.

It is a little cafe in Victoria, set amid lovely trees and plants. I found myself having a mocha in the sunshine and most fortunately, I yielded to the Lime Cheesecake. Definitely a good decision. Last seen heading for the shore to watch the swirling tidepools.

Victoria is such a beautiful city.
