“…make an effort to nurture professional relationships on an ongoing basis—not just when you need something. Not only are people more likely to engage with you if they see your relationship as being mutually beneficial, it’s also just good karma.” ~ Otegha Uwagba

My good friend and I traveled to Saltspring Island this past weekend to camp and climb. Two mountains in two days! Mt. Erskine (*****) and Mt. Maxwell (***). Erskine is magical. Honestly. Fairy doors and a crazy exposed ascent where I continually repeated, “There’s no room for error. You realize this?” The trail had it all though. Everything. Definite 5 star. Maxwell is a great workout (take #4 then branch to #6 for a decent loop). Views were amazing. Camped on Ruckle. Beautiful beach. Very Happy Place!

sometimes
you have to self-destruct
in order to self-discover
and understand
that the only person you have
to learn to let go…
is you.

Absolutely dreamy.

There are moments in my life that beckon for me to turn around and engage. This was one of those moments.

The rolling green mountains of Tennessee via my cousin Christian. Yes! We will have to venture into that wilderness! Thank you love and see you soon :).
