Community solitude in nature felt like the ultimate reset. ☀️🥾🍃 I recently had the opportunity to attend a silent art retreat in an old monastery next to an enchanted forest. Each morning, I had the opportunity to walk the river and soak in the details, the light ☀️, the birds, and the quiet.

It’s not often I have the chance to truly be present deep in the forest. Part of me is always “on patrol,” listening and alert. It was wonderful to be in quiet community with a group of women who were out and about together.

What a beautiful world 🌎 we live in. Keep standing up and fighting for our environment, my friends. ♥️

It’s the tiny details… the unique pops of color, the vintage lunchbox, the local fauna prints, the baskets of rolled blankets, the ladder on the wall, a vintage camera… these are the quirky things that make me smile when walking into a VRBO for the first time. We loved this colorful house in Saranac Lake.

Being a guest in someone’s home vs being a customer at a hotel are two completely different experiences. I’m thankful for all the people who share their homes, making longer stays (and slow travel) more affordable, and fun, for families and friends. ♥️🥾🪴

A reminder that the best things come from getting out of your comfort zone 💛

How to get your FREE access pass ⬇️

If you have a permanent disability (including neurological disorders like ADHD, autism, OCD, etc.), you’ll qualify for a FREE lifetime national parks pass!

Here’s the quick breakdown:
• Must be a US resident with a permanent disability that limits daily life (doesn’t have to be 100%)
• Must provide a photo ID + proof (doctor’s note or official document)

How to get it:
• Best option: pick it up in person at a federal recreation site
• Or order online (takes ~3 weeks)
• Or download a digital pass instantly

It’s called the Access Pass, and it’s here to make nature more accessible for everyone 💛

It’s almost over, embrace it. ⬇️

Daylight savings is just around the corner. While I’m looking forward to longer days, it’s important to remember that winter is a season of unbusy rest.

Take advantage of these last few spurts of winter. When’s the last time you took a breath and connected with friends?

An impromptu “what if,” text to your BFF might turn into a restorative women’s weekend away (like it did for me). ♥️

Friends from across the state gathered at this whimsical cabin in central Wisconsin for a slow weekend of tea, coffee, books, puzzles, wine, and connection.

It was exactly the reset I needed.

𝒞𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓁. Don’t wait for summer. Don’t wait for things to get easier, simplier, better. Life will always be complicated.

Send that text. 📚❄️☕️
