Devoted

Travelling to Bhutan, I learned how deeply the locals are committed to their culture and religion, as well as to their majestic mountains. These elements bring them genuine joy. This experience inspired me to strengthen my devotion to my home, the Canadian Rockies, and to my mountain therapy days!
