I have been inspired both personally and professionally by my experience at the ROAM retreat a few weeks ago! I was deeply moved by every person who attended; the shared values of community, absence of ego, and willingness to be vulnerable were so apparent. Something inside me shifted with every conversation and talk. By the end of the week, I found myself in tears on the beach, sobbing in front of people who had been strangers to me less than 72 hours before! The best way to describe it is that I feel as though I’ve been spared from something. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to pinpoint exactly what it is—whether it’s extreme burnout, a life of ego-based creativity, or something else—I’ll never know. What I do know is this: I’m a better person for having been around those people. I’m a more creative person for being encouraged by so many amazing creatives, and I will always owe some part of whatever happens in my life to the time spent in Manzanita for three days in August 2024. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you! ❤️

The Hobbiton tour! So so fun to see! Imagine 25 years ago being asked if your farm could be used as a movie set and now you make millions and millions of dollars and have 300,000 stranger visit you every year! Wild!
I’M GOING TO NEW ZEALAND! ✈️
I’ve been talking about wanting to go to New Zealand for YEARS! I’m so excited to finally get to see what everyone’s been raving about. Obviously I’m going to go to Hobbiton, and I’m going see every possible Narnia set location that I can.
Heads up, I am going to posting about trip over here so that I don’t make my wedding videography page super confusing. If you’re reading this on the @bekalinpro side of things then welcome to my personal page and feel free to follow along!
I can’t wait to start sharing more about my trip as it unfolds! Thanks for hanging out! 😊
I moved! After 3 years and 11 months of living at this house in Abbotsford I’ve moved a whole 30 minutes west to Langley!
This house was such a lovely place to call home and it is the second longest period of time that I’ve lived in one house in my whole life!
I lived with some of the very best people on earth and I will remember my time in this place for the rest of my life! ❤️
I’ve lived in BC for three years and I hadn’t been to Tofino until a couple of weeks ago! It’s magical there and we had such a SWEET weekend! AND @ezratsaiphotography got some UNREAL shots from the trip! Check out his work!
So I have this really sweet friend! Meet Mel! She is off to Peru today to start to live out a beautiful dream that has been on her heart for years! She is an incredible human being with a deep desire to love God and love others. Her vision is inspiring, her joy is contagious and I just can’t wait to see her dream start to take shape! What a gift it is to known and loved by her! What. A. Gift. ❤️
