My therapist asked me this last month
•
I told her what I wanted,
But I said I could only get what I wanted,
After I accomplished my to-do list.
•
She said no,
I want to know what you want right now-
not after you’ve completed x, y, & z.
•
Your wants don’t have to be dependent on a raise, on getting a degree, for the world to change, or whatever rules you’ve created in your 🧠.
•
What do you want?
•
Move towards it.
Maybe you take small steps,
That’s great!
Maybe your style is jumping all in,
That’s great too!
•
If you don’t know what you want,
Give yourself permission to explore & move towards something that you *may* want.
By trying things on, we learn what we want & what we don’t want.
•
What do I want?
To host group hikes again
To use the power of connection, nature, & exploration to help bring people closer to themselves & each other.
•
Have a great week friends 😘
•
If you’re digging some vulnerability, comment below with what you want. 🪄✨
•
I’d love to hear your goals & desires.

Life’s too short, for the both of us,
to not follow our hearts & what brings us joy.

Deep Soul Growth • It isn’t easy. It’s dirty

Deep Soul Growth
•
It isn’t easy.
It’s dirty, uncomfortable, & sometimes makes you drop to your knees.
•
It’s not hopping on a plane.
It’s not trying something for the first time.
It’s not a yoga teacher training *gasp*
•
It’s doing years of work, chipping away at your stories.
It’s becoming sick & it’s embracing your new beautiful self as you put together the pieces of your new reality.
Maybe it’s years of seeing therapists, confiding in your safe friends, & working with healers.
•
It’s learning the fine line between showing up consistently
and setting boundaries & practicing rest.
It’s remembering the strength that exists within you
& the strength that you’re creating.
•
To anyone else that these words resonate with,
Im right here with you. 💜

In sickness & in health • When we made these vow

In sickness & in health
•
When we made these vows,
I didn’t think that deeply about it...
I guess that
I assumed one of us would be sick,
& the other would act as a healthy & strong caregiver.
I never imagined that we’d be sick together with the same disease.
•
There are days when I snap at you,
When I yell.
Days when I don’t recognize myself,
Because of how my personality has changed over the last year.
Mood swings, irritability, severe depression & anxiety.
My Multiple Chemical Sensitivity & Light Sensitivity that can be irritated at any moment & knock me off of my feet.
•
Today, I’m grateful for us.
I’m grateful for our strong foundation, love, & dedication to one another & becoming healthy.
Together, we’re making strides towards health & making our dreams come true.
•
Thank you for loving me in sickness and in health.
💜

Yesterday while driving in Grand Marais,
It was icy & we lost control.
•
Moments before impact,
brock screamed we’re going to hit & that it would be ok.
•
I thought “shit, Rudy”
(he doesn’t ride in a crate),
Which quickly turned into
“shit, i’m going to hit this tree
(my side of the car was going to be impacted),
& then brock and I embraced each other’s hand/arm and our vehicle hit a snowbank.
•
Our vehicle is damaged,
Rudy was shaken but ok.
We’re ok so far.
•
I’m grateful that there was a padding of snow between us and the trees.
I’m grateful for strongly built vehicles.
I’m grateful we’re alive,
I’m grateful to have my family to hold,
& that everything turned out the way that it did.

If you have an inkling that you may enjoy somethin

If you have an inkling that you may enjoy something,
Give it a shot.
If you don’t like it,
No biggie,
Try something else
OR focus on something that you enjoy.
•
For years it’s been a goal to learn how to cross country ski.
After watching a webinar on Skijoring (it’s when your dog pulls you on skis 🐕 -⛷)
I logged onto a few park websites and signed up for 2 lessons.
•
First I started with Skate Skiing.
For someone who’s never stood on skis before
(Yes, I’ve never gone downhill skiing!)
It was awkward.
My poles were constantly in my way.
I fell several times.
I hurt me knee.
Skate skiing was such a humbling experience.
And I didn’t enjoy myself.
•
After my lesson- I went back & forth on whether or not I should invest in skis.
It’s such an expensive sport to invest in when I didn’t enjoy my experience.
Would I actually feel comfortable skiing in my own?
•
Luckily, I also had a classic ski lesson.
Classic skiing felt more beginner friendly.
It was refreshing how natural it felt.
I actually enjoyed my time on my skis.
I could see myself doing it on my own in the future.
•
If you *think* you might like something give it a shot.
You’ll learn what you like
& what you don’t.
You’ll be proud of yourself for trying your goal.
•
Also, yes that’s me & a group of strangers.
If you don’t have anyone that wants to join,
Do it anyway!
Independence can be such a powerful skill.
[PS i didn’t ask anyone to go with me- i like being independent when it comes to outdoor recreation -
it makes room for spontaneity]

I’ve been taking all of the Instagram hiatus’

I’ve been taking all of the Instagram hiatus’ over the last few months.
They’ve become an act of self care.
It gives me space to sit with myself,
learn & read,
& create digitally & in the kitchen.
•
I just took a week off of insta,
& spent much of my time buried in a book.
•
I started this beautiful routine of adding in reading after my well-established morning routine of meditation
before I check my phone in the A.M.
•
What’s your morning routine look like?
Comment below & let me know!
•
Also a huge thanks to @springerlorna & @kylieserie for recommending this read.
Im so, so happy I finally bought it.
