Because Soul Care

Because Soul Care

Because this is self care. Soul care. Because I want to rise. Because the sounds of the woods move me. Because I want to work my way up to backpacking. Because the green and the moss. Because the silence. Because the truth that comes. Because I am inviting more nature...
More Adventure Dates

More Adventure Dates

One of my wellness goals is to invite more adventure dates into my weekly life. And hiking has been calling me in ways it hasn’t before. I am crazy lucky to live in a city with one of the largest urban forests in the nation which means hikes galore within a few miles...
