***Guiding Life***
An intentional decision to live life in wild places. **To launch oneself into seasonal uncertainty and develop the skills necessary to navigate unknowns with humility and trust. **To share the magnificence of the natural world to those few who choose to travel with you for as many days. **To hold space for aloneness with grace as your traveling companions come and go like the tides.
I love this #guidinglife as it challenges me so.
This is a choice, my choice...to live this guiding life.

#Clayoquot Sound
Kayaking out in the beautiful Clayoquot Sound with 4 Swedes! We’ve navigated by sound in the fog, had some tougher water days around some headlands and sunned on the warm logs of the beach. Perfect “all my favourite spots” trip!
It’s hard to take a bad sunset photo here...#nofilter

I’ve been eating an Auto Immune Paleo diet to work with some of my body systems while in the busiest season of guiding. I’ve been challenged to find quick snacks while on the water and have been so pleased to have found #mocolate. Big thanks to @mocolatefan for creating such a tasty treat for snacking out in the wilds of Clayoquot sound!
Just back from a beautiful trip out in #clayoquotsound with @wildwomenexpeditions. We spent some beautiful time walking the land, paddling the glassy calm waters and sharing space with other wild souls!
Such #gifts to spend time in this wondrous place! “Don’t fear the light within. May it ignite the Sacred Flame in your soul.” - Paulo Coelho
Tradition, ceremony... yesterday I paddled out once again with my sister @ladyoakdragonsmoke , niece and our new addition... Auntie to watch the #SymphonySplash on the barge in Victoria Harbour. We had snacks, blankets and lots of smiles!!! Love those cannons, fireworks and the anticipation of next year! So much fun!
Just back from an amazing 4 days out in #Clayoquotsound with a bunch of wild women! We walked the beaches to see fins of blackfish, explored the forests to visit ancient grandmothers and weathered the storm ...the rain was biblical!!! Another amazing journey with @wildwomenexpeditions.
