    May you and all your visitors here paddle ( 😉 ) your respective ways serenely towards greater peace and contentedness in 2016 Val. And may I express my gratitude for all your delightful and insightful offerings throughout the past year – you seem to have become an intrinsic part of almost every day of mine here in England. H ❤

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
