When I was a little girl, I said a prayer. I asked earnestly to never forget what it feels like to be a kid. I don’t know exactly what my thought process was at the time. (I was quite young.) But there was something I saw in the grown-ups around me that I KNEW I… Continue reading The Prayer

It’s Okay To Go Slowww…
I went hiking for the first time in about a month. It was glorious! Being on the trail is like air to me. Too long away from it and I feel like I’m suffocating. As I began climbing the mountain, I felt a difference in my body. I set out to meet the trail in… Continue reading It’s Okay To Go Slowww…
