One Love Ambassadors Spreading Love from London to Dublin
To Be… or Not To Be? That was the question I’ve been mulling over since our last update—and now, riding the rails to none other than Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s own stomping grounds, I’ve got my answer: Not To Be… in this format, that is!
This is the final update from Charles and me in this style, but don’t worry—we're not disappearing. We're evolving! Starting in August, we’re launching a fresh, fabulous monthly newsletter: "Love Drops Digest"—exclusively on Paths2Transformation.com! Think updates, inspiration, special features, and soulful surprises. You won’t want to miss it—so be sure to subscribe and stay connected.
Now, onto the journey...
Can you believe it’s been nearly two months in Europe already? Time flies when you’re immersed in rich history, warm people, mind-blowing architecture, and enough tea to fill the Thames!
We mixed things up with shorter stays in vibrant neighborhoods like Beckenham, Canada Water, and Shepherd’s Bush, each offering its own flavor of London life. Shepherd’s Bush was a particular treat—just steps from the iconic Bus 94, a “royal route” that glided us past hotspots like Notting Hill, Holland Park, and Kensington Gardens. London’s pulse, right at our doorstep.
And speaking of posh—we treated ourselves to a luxe night out at Electric Cinema in White City. Picture plush chairs, cozy blankets, and a blockbuster (Mission: Impossible, no less) set in parts of London we’d just walked through. Yes, the movie was a bit over-the-top—but hey, Charles loved it, so it was a win!
Of course, you know we couldn’t be in London without diving into the theater scene. Since Hamilton blew us away, we’ve been riding the wave:
MJ the Musical – Absolutely electric!
Retrograde – A powerful story on a young Sidney Poitier.
Tina: The Tina Turner Musical – Simply the best!
And the best part? Phenomenal seats without the Broadway price tag. London, you know how to do theater right!
We waved goodbye to London on Father’s Day and hopped a train to Birmingham, the UK’s second-largest city with its own unique rhythm. The vibe here? A little more chill, a little more grounded—and yes, the accent is different! But as always, we adapted and found our flow.
That said, our first apartment? Not the vibe. We pivoted fast, booked a charming spot 20 minutes outside the city, and landed in a peaceful place with a river view and nature just steps away. Talk about literal and metaphorical flow!
In Birmingham, we’ve had time to reset, reflect, and create. Big things are blooming: the best is yet to come!

For now, we invite you to check out the new After-Care page and be sure to sign up for the Pause-Love-Reset Meditations. Link at the bottom of this newsletter to get started!
