Sometimes I cry and beg God to take me back to better days. I think of that year traveling around the Southwest. The freedom, independence, liberation. The sound of my breath, the meeting of the earth and my feet, that became my soundtrack of those days. I wonder how many miles I walked that year. My hiking shoes have been living in my van since I got sick. I got them out this week and they still have that red Sedona dust on them. I miss the big skies and the brightest stars I’ve ever seen. I miss staring at the moon every night. I miss waking up in new places all the time. I miss being able to move about in the world. I miss having options. I miss my old body. I miss my old self… I really really miss her 🧡

TBT to that time I had a few photos published in the Eno Environmental Arts and Literature Magazine at Nicholas School of the Environment.

Their mission is “To inspire a respect for our environment by engaging in thoughtful expression, through the use of artistic, reflective, and creative work.”

It’s such a gift to be here on this planet and I hope my photos inspire you to spend a little more time outdoors enjoying her beauty! 🌎

Hi all! As some of you already know I've been facing some health challenges this year. I got sick at the end of April 2022 while traveling in Arizona and have been working to regain my health ever since. I've had several emergency room visits, an array of testing, and have seen a handful of different specialists along the way. I have started to get some answers and am on a treatment plan now with my providers that seems to be moving me in the right direction!

Unfortunately I have not been able to work since June and am looking for ways to help with medical bills and related expenses. So in exchange for a print of one of my photos I'm asking for donations. I have a small number of photographs you can choose from (if you’d like one) which will be posted on my page and instagram account. An offering of $33 or more will get you an 8x10 print of your choice. Just send me a private message on social media letting me know which photo you would like. I have set up a spot fund page which I will link below. Also if venmo or the like is easier for you we can do that. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

In addition to the tremendous help this will provide me I hope these photos will inspire you to enjoy more time in nature and strengthen your connection to our planet. It is such a gift to be here and to be able to enjoy her beauty. And if you feel called to share this with others that would be wonderful. Thank you so much for your support.

With love,
Liz

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.

Finally slowing down enough to start editing some photos from the past 8+ months.

This was taken at the very beginning of my trip. Bright Angel trail at The Grand Canyon. April 2021.

I’ve been doing the van life thing in the Southwest US for almost 2 months now. That first week or two I could feel myself being stretched. Physically, emotionally, mentally. It was definitely uncomfortable at times but it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I’m a better version of myself because of it 🧡
