Can't wait for days like this. The sun is coming back faster now, and it makes me so excited to get on the water in the spring. 🥹💖🤙🏽

This time last year I was hiking into a yurt for a nice weekend away. Hopefully I can do the same this year with a new backpack. I've finally retired this one after 7 years of backcountry adventures 🥹💖 #backpacking #outdoorsky #alaskalife

So...the world is crazy and I keep feeling the millennial existential crisis creeping into my small bubble of sanctity. But then my partner shares views like this and I'm a little more okay. 🥹💖 #workview #alaskalife #aviation

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

YOU GUYS! Book signing was so great. I'm floored at all of the wonderful feedback and community. Love you all so much. 🥹💖 and a SUPER special thanks to my co-host Joseph Jackson. You really made talking about the books and fly fishing easy for this really nervous newbie. 🤙🏽🎣✨

Feeling cute when my furnace decided to die for the second time this winter and I have to use our wood fireplace as our main source of heat. 🔥
Yes, typing with fingerless gloves is annoying. #butimwarm #notreally #homeownership #lumberjackchic #alaska 🤣

Yay, my Native Plants of NC stickers are back in stock! (another top notch job from @stickerninja.bsky.social 💜💜)

And now they're in two sizes: one for your car bumper, one for your notebook, so you can easily be identified as a native plant nerd wherever you go.

Now might be a good time to point out, Little Free Libraries are important. Sharing knowledge and stories is important. It's how we know and remember and learn and grow. #littlefreelibraries #booksky

It actually snowed and temps are to drop into the negatives. Finally some winter in Alaska. ❄️🥹

It's Monday. The snow all melted yesterday. Now it's trying to blizzard with tiny snowflakes that might stick around for a few days. But hey, at least there's tamales now 🥹 #tamales #latinakitchen #vamosacocinar #kitchensky
