Meet an endangered wild mountain gorilla for the first time in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
We spent an hour together.
Seeing the humanity within each of them helped me to find my own wildness again.

Meet Floof, a juvenile Pine Siskin who repeatedly landed on me and let me hand feed him for a season.
It’s pretty wonderful when a wild creature chooses you. 🥰
There is beauty right in front of you daily. Notice it.

We have a big winter storm incoming so #tbt to my morning lattes last summer with my littlest deck critters… back when the living was easy.
Remember: Winter may look bleak. But Summer *will* return.

Breathe.
These are bobcat or small cougar tracks. 🐾
I battle anxiety by focusing on the beauty right in front of me & refusing to be changed by the ugliness in others.

Whatever it is *you* always wanted to do, it’s not too late.
Wouldn’t 11-year-old-you be thrilled if you did it?

The Ndare Ndare Forest is a nature preserve in the Eastern Province of Kenya & this waterfall is fed by glacial water from the top of Mt. Kenya.
It was magical, thanks to our friends at Lewa House.

Happy Saturday morning from the Steller’s Jays of the Nighthawk Hill
Coffee Klatsch.
Every morning 20+ of these brilliant blue corvids loudly arrive at the first flash of my purple robe, screeching their excitement.
Fly, my Pretties, FLY!

For most of the year, she looks like a stick.
But late each winter when Olivia blooms I’m reminded of how growth happens, even in darkness, even when things look bleak.
Take a deep breath.
Bloom anyway. 🌸

You never know who may show up for coffee on Nighthawk Hill, but Mary Ann is a strong bet.
We’ve been sharing our mornings together for almost a year, since she was a scraggly little kit.
She trusts me. 🥰

We had just finished hiking thru an incredible ghost town and found this gorgeous spot near Telluride.
You never know what wonders you may find if you just keep moving.
(That’s The Notorious D.O.G. or “Tori” as a pup)

Polly Jean (PJ), Tori & Orla are snow dogs in the midst of a pretty dry winter here on Nighthawk Hill.
This is their joy when they find a patch of snow. 😍
I hope you find joy somewhere today too. It’s important. 💚

As you begin your week, here’s a photo of my dog Tori intensely watching a documentary about dangerous Bolivian roads & the truckers who drive them.
Bring *that* kind of focus to your week. 😉

Good morning from the Ndare Ndare Forest in Kenya.
These waters are glacial melt from the top of Mt. Kenya.
There is far more to this world than oligarchs. There is SO MUCH BEAUTY!
And it’s all worth saving.
