Satin white valley of the camp one. The dramatic effects of the sunny showers over the icy hills make it look like someone painted them with a splash of glossy lacquer. The views come after the snowstorm, adding the puffy result to achieve that extraordinary sense of pleasantly.

A good way to test your heart is by looking at this view and and take a deep breath. Your heart then will let you know that you love life. #amazing #nepal #canada #heartattacksurvivor #everest2022

We are more and much more powerful than those wanted to create chaos and destruction. We just have to get use to invoke those SUPERPOWERS to stop the irrational enemy. —Leo #🇨🇴🇨🇦 #NoDESTRUCTION #colombiano #canadian #training #expeditioneverest #everest2022 #escalador #colombi

Know what a heart attack looks like? Maybe not. Women tend to show different and much less obvious signs than men. Know what to look for. Know how to help. #WorldHeartDay #UseHeart

These beautiful ruminants made me think on how much we work while under the guidance of someone, or something. AUTHENTICITY is one of our most important values in ourselves and we have to weak up every day being that person we want to have in our lives. #authenticity #Nepal

Every hour, about 12 Canadian adults age 20 and over with diagnosed heart disease die. @HeartandStroke
