Lots of new followers, some familiar, some not. Say “hello” if we haven’t chatted before. I look forward to getting to know you.
My content here is mostly nature, running, grief, mental health, gardening, mindfulness and photography. FYI🤷♂️

When we had our small farm, Emmy Lou was our proud protector. A Great Pyrenees that took her job seriously, yet also wanted to climb onto our laps for some loving. Best dog ever.

I’m not a lazy person. Quite the opposite, actually. I’m often unproductive because of poor planning and organizational skills that I’m constantly trying to work on.
Poor organizational skills lead to: confusion, fear, lack of interest, overwhelm, and distraction. A common theme.

I picked these before the frost and hung them in a closet for a few weeks. Strawflower, zinnias, cornflower.
One for the kitchen and one for my counseling space. Subtle beauty of the stillness.

I sit in silence with the shadows of the early morning glow. Off in the distance the melody of birds calls to me, becoming aware of the wind rustling through the trees. A cool breeze flows over my skin. Beckoning me. Taking me away.
Good morning ☺️
