Little Jo..yes your dream came true today to see Mirka and kiss her and breah\th in her energy...two hearts beating as one..Love the story , yes we all have a story and yours took you to Mr Australia...Love Tracey
wow Jo. thats wonderful that you were able to meet her. I love when we can look back into our lives and see clearly how certain people or instances have left their mark on us! sometimes we dont know why we do somethings or where we got the "taste" for certain things.. Its just nice when we do know! Do you have any of Mirkas art work? wouldnt that complete the "circle" for you?!
This is one of the most touching blog stories I have ever read. You uplift my soul with your wonderful stories. You have such a charmed life that I do believe my dreams can come true because of you!!!!

Isnt it funny the path life takes us? You are so privileged meeting Mirka Mora, she has always been an icon to me too. I remember studying her work at art school and just being blown away by the vibrancy of it. And you have a photo to treasure too!

Glad you recovered.
