My brother was in town this past week, whom I haven’t seen in over 2 years due to his missionary work overseas, with his wife and 4 boys. It was so great seeing them and allowing all of our children to spend some real, quality time together! THIS is the reason I wanted a lot of kids myself ;)

It was also my nephew’s birthday so all the cousins went rock climbing for the day. To say Kaston, my oldest, is afraid of heights is an understatement! However, watching him climb to the top, over and over, not only made me proud, but also reminded me of the notion of our fears:

IS FEAR HOLDING YOU BACK? Learn from this 👇🏼

💫 Fear is an eternal dagger, that can slowly kill your dreams and aspirations every step you attempt to take.

💫 Oftentimes, it’s best not to look back, but simply keep your eye on the prize.

💫 Everyone slips and has setbacks. It’s what you learn from them that truly matters. 

💫 The tumbles and oftentimes, hard lessons, are what will enable you to eventually soar!

The Drake Hotel, Ontario, CA

If you are looking for a change in culture, then The Drake is a great place to visit!

Seventeen years since The Drake Hotel opened its doors as a neighbourhood hub focused on art + culture, they are now marking a new chapter as they mature alongside their locale with the opening of the Modern Wing. The vibrant, expanded collection of 32 additional guest rooms, set in a dazzling contemporary building, seamlessly intertwines with The Classic Wing, housed in the hotel’s historic wing. The expansion expresses the dynamic evolution of the Drake’s brand through new layers of architecture, interior design, furnishings, objects and art, revealing both an intentional and relaxed set design that provides comfort, encourages curiosity and offers many surprises.

The Drake is home to a boundary-pushing contemporary art program that collaborates with artists across the globe on commissions and site-specific installations. Drake Art showcases diverse, thought-provoking, and engaging art to stimulate conversation and curiosity, turning every space within their walls into an ever-evolving art gallery.
