After months of healing, I finally hiked again. 🥹

🏔️ And Grassi Lakes reminded me why I love chasing beautiful places.

Definitely one of the most enchanting lakes i’ve seen .

Absolutely worth every step. 💙

This made me pause, re-evaluate my life, and feel excited about the beautiful chapter I’m creating next. ❤️

Worth every mile for moments like these—with my son and his family. 🏔️💙

Banff was cold and breezy that September day, but my heart was full. ❤️

So grateful I got to experience this beautiful place with my son and his little family.

When you only see each other every couple of years, every moment together becomes a precious memory. 🥹💕

It’s a little bittersweet.

I’m so happy watching my children build their own lives.

But it also made me realize… I have a life to build too.

More places to see.
More things to try.
More memories to make.

Maybe this isn’t the end of my busy years.

Maybe it’s the beginning of my own. ❤️

3 years of video calls…. and finally 2 more days , I finally get to hug him again .

I’ve watched him grow through a screen and now i get to see him again in person .

He already has our little plans ready - ice cream, cake, play in the park and a trip to the zoo . 🐘🐯

Funny how the simplest things can feel so special when you’ve been waiting a long time to do it together .

Canada , here I come ! 🇨🇦🍁❤️
