Mount Gower Ups and downs make it a challenging hike. Took me 4 hours total, with a 30 mins break at the top. It was a good practice before going to El Cajon Mountain next week.

Three years ago today is when I relocated my Mom to Northern California and prepared my move to Southern California after saying goodbye to our home of many years in Las Vegas. Our friends hosted a going away picnic for my family which the memory will forever be in our hearts. This was just a few weeks after the passing of my Dad whom we miss immensely.🙏🏼❤️ #byebyevegas #familyfirst #hellocalifornia #sayourgoodbyes #friends #family #picnic #joeygalonatelier #joeygalon #gowndesigner #fashiondesigner #costumedesigner #weddinggowndesigner #realitytvpersonality #fashiontvreporter #fashiontvcorrespondent #designer #artist #filamfashiondesigner #costumedesigner #customdesignedgowns (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByAXM6xnOte/?igshid=1tyana4uj12w4

It always seems impossible until it’s done - Nelson Mandela ✅ . How good does it feel to finish a task that seemed overwhelming just last month?

"I'm going to come with you to California," he told me before I had to hug him and his mom and brothers goodbye. AND EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF ME WANTED TO SAY YES, and kidnap him and bring him with me because he was a product of two people who stole my heart too. And because the road gets lonely and it would be so nice to have a mini travel companion. But we said goodbye. And I cried the first half hour of my trek to California. And I had to have two phone calls with his mother just to chat on the road because I missed her. I guess what I'm trying to say is...leaving all of my hosts is the absolute worst but we must #keeptruckin because I have so many more hearts to meet and so much more work to do. And as my dad said on the phone when I told him how sad I was to leave today, "Mary, it's not goodbye! It's abiento!" #untiliseeyouagain ❤️#love #HELLOCALIFORNIA 👋🏼
