I have survived the wildfires of Bella Coola and made my way back to Vancouver.

A summer full of fun and adventure as always. Moved west of denman, blessed my best friend at her wedding, apart of a major wildfire, visited schoolmate Katie in Seattle who i hadn't seen in a year(ish), found a beautiful studio for massaging.



Now recently back from a month visit in Bella Coola. Went home to massage and take care of the house and dogs while Mom went on vacation. Some beautiful weather, days in the yard, floating in the river, and watching a million movies i would never pay for in the city. The easy breezy usual summer time fun was interrupted by a huge lightening storm striking up multiple wild fires throughout our Valley, causing some to evacuate and our only road out of town to be closed. There was a great community initiative and i am even more proud to say I am from Bella Coola.





I have committed to the next 6 months at the studio for massage, and settling into my west of denman neighbourhood quite nicely. Next adventures, Pink concert in Seattle, Surf Trip to Costa Rica, and HeliSki season in Bella Coola. I am struggling but adjusting and appreciating the new life i have, where I am my own boss. I have inconsistent schedules but the freedom to live and work on my own terms trumps all obstacles.
