Yesterday’s Thrive Not Survive event felt like it had been curated specifically for me.

Sometimes you hear the right message at exactly the right time.

Mandy Balak, author of Chasing Enough, shared this:

Stopping your worst habit will change your life more than starting your best one. Every pattern is a leak. Fix the leak before you fill the bucket.

That one landed. Hard.

A really timely day of learning, reflecting, and being surrounded by the incredible community at Redline.

And getting to meet Mandy and have her sign my copy was a pretty great way to end it. ❤️

I have a feeling this book found me at exactly the right time.

Your Brand, Your Style Event ✨

Such a great evening at CREB®’s Your Brand, Your Style event!

A special shoutout to Sade Babatunde of Knit Me Up Style. She was fantastic!

Great people, an amazing presentation… and the food?! 😍

Thank you CREB® for putting together such a fun and thoughtful event. I left inspired, well fed, and with a few new ideas for my own brand. 😉🏡

Daisy girl turned 7 last week. ❤️🐾

Seven years of adventures, loyalty, chaos, protection, companionship and being right in the middle of absolutely everything our family does.

She's been there through so many chapters of my life, a true companion. Without hesitation, she's still charging into the next adventure. 😂

Happy birthday, Daisy girl.

Seven years with you just doesn't seem possible. 💜

There is absolutely nothing like coming home after a trip away.

We recently spent a few days exploring Panorama, BC, hiking beautiful trails, visiting the Paint Pots and Numa Falls, relaxing in the hot springs, and enjoying everything the resort has to offer.

Our trip ended a little earlier than planned after a wildfire caused a widespread power outage in the area. Thankfully, we were able to make it home safely.

It wasn't the ending we expected, but it was a wonderful reminder that the best adventures aren't always the perfectly planned ones.

And after a few days away, it was also a reminder of just how special it feels to come home. Helping others find that feeling is one of the things I love most about what I do. ❤️🏔️

It's hard to think about anything else.

Like so many Calgarians, our family spent some time driving through the search area on Sunday, hoping in some small way we could help. We left feeling both disappointed and hopeful. Now, days later, the search for Parker continues. I've continued to think about Parker, his family, his friends, and everyone who has been working tirelessly to bring him home.

As the days pass, my heart continues to ache for everyone affected, for Parker, his family, and every person dedicating their time and energy to finding him. I can't imagine the uncertainty they're living through.

While we were in the community, I witnessed something beautiful in the middle of something heartbreaking. Hand-painted signs in front yards. Neighbours checking their properties. Complete strangers giving their time, energy, and hope for a family they've never met. It was a powerful reminder of what community truly looks like.

I'm incredibly grateful for every volunteer, first responder, search team member, and neighbour who has shown up throughout this search.

May Parker's family continue to feel the strength, compassion, and hope of an entire city standing beside them. ❤️
