Sometimes the best kind of growth happens when you stop striving and simply let yourself be part of the moment. The stillness, the light, the quiet, they remind us what being whole really feels like. #lakechelan #sunsets #ilovewhereilive

In July 2024, AVIS Rapid City & PurCo falsely claimed $4,307 in hail damage after I returned a car undamaged. SD AG & Progressive confirmed it was a scam. PurCo later raised it to $6K+. Take photos, get a written return inspection, & avoid AVIS/PurCo. I spent 40+ hrs fighting this. #rentalcarscam

A perfect evening on Friday - calm waters, Beaver moon rising near the Cline Spit.
