I ran Hood to Coast this last weekend. 34 hours with an amazing team, we did it with happy hearts, sleep deprived but we did it! I can't believe it. 17 miles total.

And I'd do it again!

My last leg I got immensely emotional. I was reminded of Gods grace, I was reminded of his love and I was reminded how he has rescued me. If you told me 2 years ago that I would be accomplishing this... I wouldn't have believed it but He did. The biggest achievement from this is being the best version I could be for my children. That you can accomplish hard things and you can overcome.

I couldn't help but raise my hands in the air and praise Him! Thankful for my family and their support and their love.

Been a little quite here but it's been an amazing transition. The last six years have been a whirlwind. Many times I showed up to sessions long sleeve battling hives, while recuperating from Bells Pasly. And then something happened... I began putting boundaries.

I began to say no and yes to me. I love photography and I thank the Lord for the gift but managing it as a Bussiness came with a lot of lows and led to a lot of resentment.

These last two years have been such a positive change for my physical and mental health and for my family as well.

One of my biggest goals (I use to run before kids.. then life) was to one day be part of hood to coast. I get to accomplish that this weekend. I now get to physically overcome what mentally I have already.

I am so excited.

Good luck to all my fellow runners this weekend!

I wanted to make a huge recommendation for all my foodies wanting legit Mexican food.

I consider myself a Mexican food snob, more because I grew up in a border city and both my parents are Mexican so guess what I ate growing up... Mexican food.

Moving here has been a culture shock (it's okay I adapt) but even more so the food. Sometimes I want a legit good place to go eat Mexican food. And not trying to throw shade but a lot of places well it ain't home.

Today I took my mom to eat for her bday to a restaurant that does .. that's right Mexican food but not your typical .. Mexican Breakfast.. and if you know.. you know that does not exist here. But it does in Vancouver.

I can't recommend Buenos Dias Mexican Cuisine in Vancouver enough! My gosh.. the taste, the seasoning to how transparent they are with their ingredients, did I say the TASTE?! It's like I was back home. Every single bite was something I couldn't get enough of. Like I just can't even rave about them enough!!! They are small, they are local to Vancouver and the main chef is one of the owners and his beautiful wife is there and their son was absolutely amazing in his way of recommending and service was seriously the best! Oh their skirt steak was out of this world!!

So yeah.. go there. Make the drive there it's absolutely worth it.

They are open from 8-3pm and Tuesday are closed. Weekends are absolutely packed but definitely plan to go!

In the quiet of the night, a whisper stirs,
A gentle promise, like a song of birds.
Life blooms softly, wrapped in grace,
A sacred journey, an embrace of space.

With each heartbeat, a rhythm divine,
A tapestry woven, your soul intertwines.
Stars align in the heavens above,
Showering blessings, enveloped in love.

Hands on the belly, a tender caress,
Dreams take flight, in sweet happiness.
A miracle cradled, a future bright,
Guided by faith, through day and night.

In every kick, a dance of delight,
Hope's gentle echo, a beacon of light.
With gratitude flowing, like rivers that run,
A blessing bestowed, a life just begun.

A reminder as I close this year, and summer is upon us:)

Saturdays are off limits. I won't be doing sessions on a Saturday unless it's a must. If you are following my journey, I got 2 months till Hood to Coast, I am in the thick of my training. If we have to reschedule that will be till September. ♥️

Excited for the sessions coming next month!

"I've been havin' dreams
Jumpin' on a trampoline
Flippin' in the air
I never land, just float there
As I'm lookin' up
Suddenly, the sky erupts
Flames alight the trees
Spread to fallin' leaves
Now they're right upon me"

I don't think I have the right words to share what we are all feeling right now as a community. I think what we are feeling there are simply no words to describe it. Every night before we go to bed, we always pray daddy goes to work and comes home safely to us. Some didn't get to come home on tuesday.

Driving down industrial is a common route to those heading to support their families, dads, moms trying to provide for their families some of them being sole providers just like my hubby is to us.

This town we hold the Mill close to our hearts because it is why we are here. You always felt guaranteed that your family member would come home until this event shook us to our core and reminded us that no day is ever promised.

When my dad passed, I didn't really like people saying "I'm sorry for your loss", maybe that just a preference to each their own but what I would like to say... Lean into the Lord, He hears and seek Him , He will lift you up, breath for you in the times you feel like you can't.

I see so many of you during my run! My cap may hide my face sometimes, I may not stop to chat but it always makes me so happy to bump into some of you all!!

If you see me around, just training for hood to coast! I couldn't be more excited!

Motherhood is not all rainbows and butterflies. Motherhood is to give yourself to your babies. It's a time where we learn compassion, let go of selfishness and submit ourselves to what the Lord has entrusted us with. Every season of motherhood is different and it brings its own trials and blessings. God made us mothers different and with a patience beyond compared. The Lord is so magical and in awe how we can create a human in our womb, to even the gift of being able to nourish. We are one of a kind.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mommas. YOU are amazing.
