NATURE HEALS

When I am immersed in nature is when I feel most connected to my soul.


Nature reminds me that there is purpose beyond the screens, daily routines, and all of life’s fluff. Nature has always been my favorite healer.


When I was extremely depressed with suicidal ideations the first thing I put on my ‘things that make me happy and I need to make more time for’ list was nature related (stargazing and hiking to be exact).


Nature cleanses us with water, grounds us with earth, restores our breath with the wind, removes darkness in my mind with the sun’s rays, and inspires me through the way it all works together, beautifully and purposefully.


The earth is our planet, and it is part of a galaxy, which is part of a universe and we can never fully understand or fathom all of this and the deeper we get the deeper we realize we have to go.


As I walked through the forest with sounds of birds, running water, warm sun, and cool shade surrounded by such lovely souls I found myself in the deepest state of gratitude.


I wrote a reflection journal and one line which I’d like to reveal here is: “This weekend I learned that the climb, spontaneity, and open mindedness is always worth it. I realize how supported I am and how abundant my life has a l w a y s been. I am truly blessed beyond belief”.


I took a leap of faith and reached out to my friend Fiona Kenney to see if I could come visit her.
We planned a very short and spontaneous trip and it was like we had never been apart. Our conversations still as fulfilling as ever before. Miss her right now even!

When we were out exploring and arrived at a beautiful spot that we made our day camp we both walked through rocks into a meadow, took our shoes off, and grounded ourselves. We then proceeded to fall asleep in the breeze and the sun with total peace surrounding us.
​
Waking up to such beautiful serenity is quite indescribable. We then fished with her fiancé Shawn Estey who was so incredibly accommodating, fun, and patient.


I learned so much about myself and life in this whole trip that I knew it was meant to work out the way it did.


If you feel hopeless, get out in nature.
If you feel alone, get out in nature.
If you feel sad, get out in nature.

There’s so much life to be lived, BE BOLD AND SAY YES TO IT😍🙌🏻⛰
