After a two-day Huatou Chan workshop over the weekend, I’m continuing today with Huatou Chan Retreat, a four-day residential silent meditation retreat.

It feels like moving gradually from the noise of everyday life into greater stillness, putting down external distractions and returning my attention to this present mind.

My phone will be turned off during the retreat, and I won’t be checking messages or email.

I’ll return on August 1 and respond to messages afterward.

For the next few days: less reaching outward, more turning inward 🧘‍♀️🌿

Going offline for the weekend 🧘‍♀️🌿

I’ll be at a two-day silent meditation retreat this weekend, and my phone will be completely turned off during the retreat.

So if you message, call, or email me and don’t hear back, I’m not ignoring you. I’m simply offline for a little while ❤️

A couple of days to step away from the noise, sit in stillness, listen, and turn my attention inward.

I’ll be back online after the retreat on Sunday evening and will catch up on messages then.

See you on the other side ✨

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

After living here for more than 20 years, I feel more and more grateful to call this land home.

Canada, to me, is spacious, beautiful, free, equal, inclusive, and kind.

I love saying “Good morning” to strangers during my morning walks.
I love the little “sorry” that comes out so naturally.
I love when someone stops me and says, “I love your outfit” or “beautiful hat.”
I love the creative, open-hearted, wonderfully different people I get to meet here.

And I will always remember the 100+ people who shared a hug with me during my Free Hugs day, those small moments of warmth, trust, and human connection.

This country has given me more than a place to live.
It has given me space to grow, to soften, to become more myself.

Happy birthday, Canada!
Grateful to be here ❤️

Dear friends,

Tomorrow night, I’ll be taking part in the Sleep Out in support of Covenant House Vancouver.

Sleep Out means spending one cold night on the street — in solidarity with youth who face many more nights without safe shelter — until they are able to find safety, support, and hope through the doors of Covenant House.

I’m truly grateful for the encouragement and generosity I’ve received so far. For those who may still wish to support, donations are being matched dollar-for-dollar by Vancouver International Airport (YVR), up to $50,000, through tomorrow night, meaning every contribution goes twice as far.

If this is something you feel moved to support, I’d really appreciate it. And if not, thank you just as much for taking the time to read and for being part of my community.

With gratitude,
Fay

About to start my 5 day silent meditation retreat to begin a year anew.

No cellphone, no talking, no reading and no listening to music. Just staying with my body and being mindful :)

Wishing everyone a happy new year!

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been receiving the sweetest surprises, and finally sat down to photograph them properly. ❤️

✨ A friend brought back hand-wrapped Guatemalan dark chocolate (with the cutest worry doll).
✨ A client returned from Barcelona with local treats + a colourful magnet.
✨ My neighbour & daily walking buddy came home from Japan with matcha drinks and a handmade fabric box.

Three gifts, from three continents.
All sending the same message: “I thought of you.”

It reminded me of something I’ve always believed:
Gift-giving is a love language.
It’s not the item, it’s the intention, the remembering, the connection.

In real estate, and in life, relationships grow through these small moments of kindness. The gestures that say:
“I see you.”
“I appreciate you.”
“You matter to me.”

Feeling very held by my community. ❤️
Here’s to connection in all its beautiful forms.

❤️

Confession:
I LOVE hugs. Like… really love them.

And guess what? Science is on my side!
Research shows that if a hug lasts around 20 seconds, your body starts releasing serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone that boosts mood, lowers stress, and makes life just a little softer.

This photo was taken at my Holiday Pie Party, and honestly, it captures one of my favourite moments of the day. Warm hugs, warm hearts… and warm pie skirts. 🥧✨

So here’s my unofficial announcement:
If you see me in person, hugs are absolutely welcome.
Think of it as a free serotonin top-up: professionally friendly, personally joyful.

Let’s make 2026 the year of more connection, more kindness… and yes, more hugs. 🤗💛
