Cathy, I too am very grateful for these last few years with my parents. We got to spend a lot of time together through Covid. Unfortunately my dad is starting to suffer and it is so difficult to watch. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. Just trying to find and celebrate the tiniest moments. 

Take care of yourself 😍

So you went to MN for love❤️. Makes sense! 

Thanks for the invitation to visit you. I often travel alone so having people to visit is always wonderful. 

The invitation goes both ways. If you're ever coming to Ontario please be sure to come and see me. Have you ever been to Toronto?

My summer is very much about caregiving. I spend 3 or 4 days a week helping to care for my elderly parents. Then I am very blessed to be able to spend the rest of the week taking care of myself. Thus I have been able to get to the mat with regularity. I'm not getting any of the "chores" done around my house but they're not going anywhere 😆. I'll get to them eventually. 

Hope everyone is getting enough self care time too😍

Hey! We haven't had too much smoke since June. Here in Ontario our smoke came mostly from Quebec and things are better there. I know that the west is still having tons of forest fires 😯. I didn't know that you were from Saskatchewan, a true Prairie girl. How did you end up in MN? I've never been but I love being out in nature. Will have to put it on my bucket list now that I have a resident expert to consult! 😎

Hey Jessica! Thanks for reaching out. Life here in the Big Smoke is pretty good. I am currently away in Stratford Ontario with my bestie from highschool. Stratford is a quaint little theatre town about 200 kms (125 miles) from Toronto. So good to get away. How are things with you? Any big plans this summer?

So excited when I saw this workout in the Summer of Strong Challenge.  It is one of my faves!!! Was also one of my very first lives.
