Point to Point

Ever since our anniversary getaway to Tobermory back in May, where we hiked from the northern tip of the Bruce Trail, we’ve been planning a day trip to hike from the southern starting point of the 900 km trail in Niagara Falls, right beside the U.S border, and where the war of 1812 took place!

Today was the day!

I’ve always wished we had kept track of how many kilometers we’ve actually walked by now—but the numbers don’t matter as much as how I feel each time I step onto those trails. 

Out there, the trails have become more than just ground under my feet. They’ve become proof that I keep choosing to show up. Proof that I keep fighting. Proof that I can take my power back and proof that I will do the hard stuff, even when life feels heavy. Which it does right now.

It’s become a mirror for my healing. Not in one giant leap, but with each climb, each step, each breath. It’s another chance to rise and reclaim a piece of myself. 

It’s empowering. And a gentle reminder that I’m still here.
