If you’re gonna to go… go big. So I live in a world where I am dwarfed by the nature that surrounds me. At times, it feels intimidating, but for the most part, I am humbled and honoured, and while I have lived most of my life in big (ish) cities – Vancouver, London, Sydney – this is the first time I have lived in big nature. Sky-scraping trees, endless ocean, powerful winds and massive mammals.

The days are getting darker and things have begun to feel damp and cold. Crafts have started to whisper for attention from knitting baskets and closets. Stoves are kept busy with tea kettles and pots of soup.  And sunny days are embraced like a long lost favourite sweater. As I prepare myself for the winter ahead, I reflect on the brighter moments that will carry me through the darker days.
