Hi Alice! I am from Vancouver Island

I LOVE these goals! And I feel the same way about planks - I am feeling my body getting stronger though. I can do more than I could a few months ago and find when I focus on that, the dread eases. You got this!

It really is amazing

Amazing! Marnie is coming on vacation with me tomorrow!

Love it!

I hit post too soon - I wanted to note that this valley has a Mediterranean like climate and many amazing wineries - which is very unique to Canada. It’s an amazing place to live and wanted to share some of the history :)

I currently live on the traditional and unceded territory of the Tl’lulpalus and Hul'q’umi'num people - what is know known as Cowichan Bay, British Columbia. It is a small sea side village in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. The Cowichan Valley is known as The Warm Land, from the Coast Salish First Nations, who named this area Quw’utsun’ or Cowichan, meaning “land warmed by the sun.’’ I am so grateful to live as a guest on these beautiful lands -

*Independent women. My fingers got too excited!

I would die if you played “I am King” by Florence and the Machine. Or anything by them really.
