We took our kids for a hike yesterday up a mountain with the slight expectation of making it to the top. •
Ok, to be transparent, I was indifferent and just happy to be in this rainforest. My husband was gonna make it to the top no matter what. So when we made it 20 minutes up, my son who is 4, was ready to call it a day... you know, tears, yelling and general frustration. So instead of giving up, @chadcookca carried Lake up the mountain on his back for the remainder of the 45 minute trek up hill... with some breaks of course.

We learned something as a family yesterday: all it takes is one person to believe... and literally carry us (emotions and all) in order to make it to the top.

Be love. Spread love. Receive love. That’s the spirit of this season. ❤️

Welcoming the light on this snowy, cold, beautiful #Canadian winter day.
•
I’ve been thinking lately that there’s something so sexy, strong and powerful about being a Canadian. We cycle through seasons with perseverance. We honour the heat and welcome the cold and darkness (sometimes with hesitation, but we eventually surrender). We are hearty, resilient and loyal to this country and our neighbours. •
And even through the cycles, the extremes through all seasons, we thrive. That’s damn sexy.

I am not feeling the Christmas season at all... not yet anyways. What I am feeling is the desire to push against the busyness of this time of year. 🌕
With winter solstice and the full moon upon us, I just want to go inward. To really embrace hibernation. I’ve been feeling it for over a week and today I’m literally giving the middle finger to doing more.
🌕
And so tonight, I’ll be lighting candles, honouring the darkest day and preparing for more light. 🌕
I’m also gifting myself the permission to stop. I consciously decided to not send cards and evaluated the festive things to let go. I went with minimal decorations and am focusing on quality time with my loves instead.
🌕
Im riding the wave of this moment. And if next year I want to go all out and overboard, I give myself permission to do that, too.

What if we were to change the conversation of health and believed that we, individually and united, had the power to create a vision greater then we ever imagined. And that darkness needs to exists for us to really, truly appreciate the other side. To look for the meaning in our own suffering, to not play a victim but rather take responsibly as adults for where we are in this moment, right now. .
Just for this moment, imagine. 💫

Motherhood is hard. And beautiful. And crazy. And exhausting. And F U L L. Nothing on this earth brings me more joy and fills me with more love then looking at the faces of my children. They are just so magical ✨
