Went for a hike in the woods yesterday to escape the relentless heat. Stopped by to see my majestic friend.
It reminded me to keep looking for small moments of light when the world is dark. Hope this helps you too.

View from my morning hike.
A gentle reminder:
Stop scrolling and get outside for a walk. You won’t regret it. 😉

A series of storms rolled through yesterday. This photo was taken after the last one, on a walk.
It’s a gentle reminder: everything is temporary. The sun will shine again.
Keep going. ✍️

Good Morning. ❄️
The kids are outside playing in the snow and I’m going to squeeze in a brief yoga session and finish some draft edits.
Happy Wednesday, friends.

Sunday mantra: Be patient with yourself, you’re doing the best that you can. You’ve been through so much and you deserve a moment to rest.
