When I’m not writing or hanging out in the forest, I’m oohing and aahing at the sky. 🤩

When I’m not writing, I’m making music with my fellow trumpet cup lichen friends. 🎶

That time I convinced my brother to run a 5k with me, and then I had major regrets…but we did it! 👻

Two of my favorite things: frost and moss!! The forest floor was a treasure today. 💚

Ever wonder what happens before and after a forest therapy walk? This is why it’s near impossible for me to write this time of year! Blame it on being a forest therapy guide. Apparently, I can’t be that and a writer in the same season! 😂 #Nature #treefrog #frog #foresttherapy #writersblock

I have not been writing because I have been watching nymphs become cicadas. But I’ll go ahead and log this as writing research. 😉 #writingcommunity #cicada #nature

I thought about writing today, but then I came across this fallen log holding all the secrets of the universe, so I sat with her instead. 🙃

I spy a dreary day, edits, a pup, and a dumpling. #WritingCommunity #DogMom

And a half hour later, we get to write. 😂

Went to work after 259 days. This is exactly how I feel. And now…daydreaming of how to nap in the sun every day like my dog. 🙃 #dog #doglife #dogmom

I’ve had the most interesting (and fun!) job interviews. One had me bring children’s books to read to the committee. Another asked what kind of tree I would be. My next one wants me to bring some of my creations. I guess these polymer peas from years ago will come in handy! 💚

GUESS WHO WROTE A NOVEL IN 18 DAYS?!?? 2024 has been a rough year, but writing is on fire (in a good way) at least. 🙃

Happy New Year, happy writing, and happy editing!

I took a writing break to enjoy the hoar frost! Felt like living inside a snow globe! ❄️

As a soul caller, I feel deeply grateful to honor my family and all who guide us from the other side. Today, my family celebrated our New Year. Calling our souls—including the souls of our dogs—is a powerful way to ground ourselves and raise the next generation of soul callers. ✨

This is what happens when you want to read in peace, but you have needy pups. You can't see them, but Taco's sisters are laying by my feet. I don't even want to tell you what my attempts at writing look like around here...

“No Filter and Other Lies” by Crystal Maldonado! It’s in my enormous pile of books to read still. 🫣

And on the seventh day, she rested. Then she ate really good chocolate and continued to write in defiance.
