Autumn really is the most gorgeous time for forest walks. Bella & I wander into the woods together each morning & afternoon. We hunt for faeries and she helps me find all manner of treasures, like vintage bottles & wild turkey feathers. Our autumn forest walks are precious to me. The air is crisp & cool. The sunbeams are bright & warm. It’s our little slice of heaven. ♥
Hello, darlings. I am popping in with a little life update and a big announcement. Let’s start with the big…
There are seven seedlings growing in my windowsill. A couple of months ago, I filled eight little cups with potting…
Every Friday, I post my favourite links, posts, & resources from around the Web. Expect to learn, grow, & be inspired.
1. burning questions with Patti Digh: poetic choices: If you read nothing else from this week’s Carousel, read this post. This is honestly one of the most moving & profound interviews that I’ve ever read.
2. UPDATE ON THE JOURNEY TO EVERY COUNTRY: Incredible! Talk about an incredible journey…
3. Why I Quit My Job to Travel Around the World: This seems to be “the dream” of so many in my generation. I love to read the stories of those who go out & make it happen.
4. Be Your Own Guru: Because, in the end, no one else can stand in my shoes. No one else can live my fears, dreams, love, relationships, desires, intellect, challenges, life and lifestyle. No one else can enjoy or suffer the outcome of my decisions or actions. No one else is better equipped to know me. No one else can act but me.
5. Staying out of Starvation Mode….: Crucial information if you are trying to maintain a healthy body weight & optimal fitness.
6. Paying it WAY Forward: I discovered Colin and his blog a couple of weeks ago when he did an interview at Untemplater. I developed an e-crush on him & his lifestyle immediately thereafter. I really like this post that he wrote about paying it forward & the idea of “karma.” Great stuff.
7. How To Find Balls: Hehe… I’ll let this post’s title speak for itself. 😉
8. what i learned at couples counseling: I love this post—not just because I think counseling is always a good idea—but also because the advice contained within is so fantastic.
9. The Mindfulist: The Concept—Each day, meditate or think on a new topic. Slow down and focus! How to participate—1. Meditate or create with each daily prompt 2. The prompts come in two flavors. Work/tech-related, found here at The Mindfulist. 3. If you’re public and want to be social, tag what you create #mindfulist
I like it.
10. How to Master the Art of Mindful Eating: Fantastic advice about how to eat, the way that food is meant to be eaten. (Bonus = a delicious recipe!)
Happy Spring, my loves! ♥♥

Beautiful!! You are so lucky to have that forest near where you live!
Thanks, Elle! Yes, I am so so so so lucky. I love it.

I find trying take pictures with my camera really fails to do the sun justice. In moments like these, I can smell the winter coming and it brews a collection of memories and feelings. The feeling pulls at my soul at the center of my chest. It’s a beautiful feeling and you have captured really awesome photos. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Charlie! I know exactly what you mean about the feeling at the center of your chest. It’s like the sun just slips in there and warms everything up. You are wonderful. <3
