“Passion is your greatest love. Passion will help you create the highest expression of your talent.” ~ Larry Smith, Professor of Economics at the University of Waterloo

I have an amazing group of SFU graduate students and UBC medical residents this year!
The chemistry is there.
The will to engage is there.
The brilliance and energy is there.
Everything required for success is there.
And I’m so stoked to be on this journey with you all!
Onward and upward!

Still biting off more than I can chew.
Still managing to get it all down.

“And she wasn’t like the best thing under the sun
But yeah, I guess I needed to learn from her
I guess I needed to open up and let it all out.”

My favourite blue climbing gloves are moments from the Pemberton lookout summit. They were a gift from my father. Please bring them back to me.

Climbing this beauty on Saturday 🙂
(Black arrow indicates the Y couloir. Good place for a heli drop and a ski down.)

Bacon, crispy.
Eggs, scrambled dry.
Toast, sourdough.
Coffee, medium roast.
Leave room for cream.
Honey, not sugar.
And serve it with a smile.

Suits season finale tonight! 🙂

I would have gladly given myself to you
Surrendered to the power and force of nature
that you are
For just a few more minutes to observe
how your body shifted and moved
how the morning dew glistened off your brownness
how you canvassed the terrain with your nose
how you held me in your presence with those curious eyes.
Longing
to bury myself
in your wildness.
