‘I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars’ Time finally at my Canadian lake to breathe summer air, to lakeswim long, to paddle, to live life outside! With the bald eagle above me, the songbirds, the duck families, the Big storms and the starlit skies... bathed in trees and water, oh Canada Wish everyone a beautiful restful summer🧡💚🍃 #myphotostories #lightpainting #skywatcherstaradventurer #activelifestyle #wonderis_allaround quote _ogmandino The Greatest Salesman in the World

As we age into our most beautiful selves, “the things that women reclaim are often their own voice, their values, their imagination, their clairvoyance, their stories, their ancient memories. If we go for the deeper, the less known, we will touch the bones” _clarissa pinkola estès #womenwhorunwiththewolves I honour my sister this day, her birthday. I reclaim the wildish spirit for you; I hope you run free. #aginggratefully #embracethefeminine #beautyisageless #wildandfree 📷 @laurel.breidon this one🖤

'She didn't want an ordinary life. She wanted to slay dragons and make magic and believe in love and miracles' Truth is, an ordinary life was never mine to have. Life gave me 3 beautiful sons to raise up, each now creating their own kind of magic💫 Congratulations dear Nicholas, Dr Nick!! @nicky9doorz 🎓 for your grit and determination, endless late nights to meet deadlines, but most of all... for wanting to make this ‘wanting’ world a better place, for All. 2025 closing on a dream come true. Love always wins♥️ #fromtorontowithlove #mysonshine #doctoratedegree #friendslikefamily #mytorontolife

“This is the solstice, it’s cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath” _margaret atwood My last selfie smiling in my beloved High Park before I moved away this Fall to begin again. I had so many moments of pure wonder in your woods and by your waters, I could not look away. A place to slow down, my camera captured brief moments of real magic. We need beauty because it makes us ache to be worthy of it. And just for this moment, allow me to colour your winter world with light💫 The winter will be beautiful too🤍#myphotostory #wintersolstice #lookbacktolookforward #lovethisplanet #mytorontolife Hair @icolourhairs ♥️ @conquerfitness_bloorwest selfie taken right after the gym, stress conquered🙏🏻
