A glimpse of downtown Toronto

Explore.Connect.Create.

Some days all you feel is instability, all you desire is change, and your patience starts to wear thin. On those days, we have to remind ourselves... . . What legacy are you wanting to leave behind? What are you willing to do to leave that legacy behind? . . I may not see these boys as often as I wish to, but when I do, I strive to be the most vulnerable, honest, and giving aunt I can be.

Somedays we are fearful of not knowing where our path is leading us. Other days, we are confident of our ability to surpress any challenges. . . Let the combination of your confidence and your willingness to grind overpower the fear of the unknown. Dive head on into the excitement of a new adventure. . . #downtownTO #rooftopviews #igdaily #igtoronto #instagrammers #motivate #inspire #grind #nomad #exploreconnectcreate #toronto #yyz #foodforthought

Waking up is easier with this beautiful sunrise to drive through. . . . . #toronto #sunrise #yyz #iphoneonly #earlyriser #cloudywithachanceofmeatballs #igtravel #instagrammers #igtoronto #exploreconnectcreate #motivate #inspire

Approach every conversation and every interaction with the desire to listen & learn. Much easier said than done especially on those crappy days. However, those are also days where focusing on what you can learn from others may give you insight into your own growth. . . . #growthmindset #exploreconnectcreate #everyoneisimportant #mentalhealth #igdaily #instagrammers #latergram #bnw #iphoneonly #inspire #motivate

Another family trip in the books. Living continents apart, we only get to be together once a year but we sure make it worth it! I’m convinced my utmost passion for adventure & exploration ultimately can be traced to my parents. Thankful for the time we get to be together. . . . #nashville #travel #igtravel #TN #exploreconnectcreate #love #familytravel #adventure #nomad #purewander #iphoneonly #instagrammers

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." - Martin Luther King Jr. . The National Civil Rights Museum is a must see. A comprehensive, breathtaking, sobering and provoking overview of the Civil Rights Movement and the battle for equality & justice- including a detailed walk through of Martin Luther King's assassination. . . In many ways, history repeats itself. Similarities in perseverance & resistance can be seen around the world these days: in the battle to be heard, the battle to preserve one's identity, the desire to live and fight for broader concerns of humanity. When you are a witness of injustice, what do you do? How are you speaking up? Do you choose to stand with those in need or stay silent & comfortable? . . @ncrmuseum @mlk #igtravel #travel #memphis #nationalcivilrightsmuseum #lorrainemotel #travelmemphis #travelTN #inspire #motivate #MLK #iphoneonly #purewander #exploreconnectcreate
