    Welcome to Calgary! There are also many lake communities that are great for kids. Auburn Bay, Mahogany, Arbor Lake, etc

    I hope people of Toronto
    Stop saying "Why Calgary"
    People from the east will never understand how we live here until you come and see.
    Albertans work hard and we welcome people who dream big for them selves and the province .
    Welcome in Calgary and you made a excellent choice to make it your home
    Blessings to you and your family !

    I'm so excited for you and your growing family. ❤ I'm a born and raised Calgarian and my husband grew up in Toronto. Everything you said about your Calgary experiences, first impressions, the weather (best conversation starter in Alberta, by the way 😉)...as well as what you miss about Ontario, are all so accurate! I look forward to watching your videos. 🤗

    I had a stillbirth this year in August and I looked up stories and videos of how to even cope, or how to trust God through this process. I just recently found your channel, almost a year into loosing Sofia, and I was surprise your channel never came up. But thinking back as to where I was mentally and emotionally I was not ready for this channel, God allowed me to find you at a time that I needed to see how God does have a plan and does wonders.
    All that to say, thank you for giving me joy, happiness and even a glimmer of hope in a moment where I felt like God wasn’t listening to me. Congrats on your pregnancy 🤍 and your new home.
    Don’t stop making videos, they have been a TRUE BLESSING 🙏🏼

    • @bysarahkim
      @bysarahkim  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ah, Cindi I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about losing Sofia. I'm in such a different place now than I was back in 2020 too, after I lost my Lucas. I actually didn't share on TH-cam explicitly until a bit after. But God is so good, as you are saying, and there is so much hope even in the losses. Thanks for sharing with me and all the encouraging words ❤️

    I only just found your TH-cam channel yesterday but am loving your videos and learning a lot about starting up a small business selling greeting cards and art. I’m also a Christian and it’s so nice to hear someone talking about their faith on this platform on these topics. I’m a self taught watercolour artist and am trying to start off in the greeting card/art print business. You are giving me lots of hope that I can do it too ❤

    Welcome to Calgary. Calgary is a city for people with family. The only downfall is water compare to Ontario. Mountains are all around. Banff is an hour a half away, but you can also go to places like Bragcreek. 30 mins if you are down south end of the city. Lots parks and playgroun ared everywhere for kids. There is also fishcreek park. People are friendly. You will grow to love he city.

    There are a couple great lake communities, but unfortunately you do need to live in the community or know someone who does. But there’s also some great little streams/rivers where kids can hangout and play in the water!
