There is something very enchanting about unexplored forests. They are mysterious, exotic and fascinating.
We spent some precious moments in such a jungle recently. It was out in the wilderness called Sharan.  Today, I will be sharing the travel journal I made on this trip.
I made this journal on an expired ‘BioMatrix stent table calendar’ from my previous office. On this journal, I used a local newspaper (Daily Mahasib newspaper, Abbottabad), leaves, maps, cloth pieces, stickers, tickets, pictures, wrappers and stamps. I also doodled wherever I could. Thanks to my experience with travel journals, I completed this journal in one day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This map above of Northern areas of Pakistan was given to me by the receptionist at PTDC hotel, Balakot. It is honestly the best map I have ever seen.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the photo tour of this journal. It’s link on Youtube is here.  You can take a look at all my travel journals on my blog and on YouTube. Thanks for your time. Let me know your thoughts.

More pieces of our snowy week together.
No big plans, just slow days, warm drinks, and the comfort of family in every frame.
A short, chilly, beautifully chaotic Mon–Fri visit.
Between kid school, classes, early Ramadan routines, and Halifax’s snowy mood, we didn’t do much — but we did enough. Also a whole lot of “maybe next time” plans. 🤭
Snowy Peggy’s Cove, hot drinks at Lawrencetown Beach Café, watching complicated dramas together, making fun of kids book and the comfort of being together. 
Short trip, full hearts, and memories we’ll talk about forever. 🥲
Before mentoring: confusion.🍂
After mentoring: clarity, structure, confidence. 🌱

These are real words from real women who decided to stop playing small and start building intentionally.
Through my mentoring, we don’t just “talk marketing.”
We build clarity.
We refine your brand.
We create strategy.
And most importantly — we build confidence in YOU.
If you’re ready to grow your business with direction instead of confusion, I’d love to support you.

Every testimonial you’re about to read started with someone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step.
Clarity changed everything.
