Now that the air quality has improved a bit and it’s cooled down for the day, I’m relaxing on my patio listening to the crickets. Bliss.

Happy Book Lovers Day! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve talked about my writing. Lately, I’ve been focusing on journaling and internal work, but I’ve published four novels with indie house @shadowsparkpub!

Ugh. Ticks are so awful, and they just keep getting worse!

Earth child 🌎💚

A bouquet of red roses.

My husband surprised me with these beautiful roses the other day. 🥰

A black cat tattoo in the American traditional style peeks out from a hiking sock.

Peekaboo! Me and my silly cat tattoo went for a short hike today on a local trail. Just a mile. Enough to enjoy some time outdoors but not too long in the smog… Very grateful for access to green spaces.

🙌 Heck yeah!

Goddamnit Smash Mouth. Tricked a whole generation to manifest a world on fire. “My world’s on fire! How ‘bout yours?That’s the way I like it, and I’ll never get bored.”

Three women stand in the wate

These beloved ladies joined me at the beach where we communed with the Three Realms, made flower crowns, reminisced, and brainstormed for the future. One of our kiddos snapped a photo while we meditated. I’m so glad she thought to capture the moment! A lovely little Lúnasa.

Looking up into a tall maple tree with green leaves on a sunny day.

You see this beautiful maple tree? I’m not sure how old she was when a sapling, but my parents planted her when I was a baby. We keep growing and reaching for the light! #Druid

I wish I brought my hiking boots.

Had a lovely start to my Lúnasa celebrations. Hope y’all had a good day! 🍞 🌞 🌾

Me too!

Yessss!

😆

Back at the gym for the first time in too long.

Dani. 😱

Thanks!

My self-care after therapy involves an iced chai latte and this gorgeous view. Grateful to have found a supportive resource close to the river, especially when it’s so gorgeous outside!

Dear past me,

You just completed a mile-long trail in less than 30 minutes. Go you! 🙌

Nice! Good luck. 🙂

Thank you!

Omg that would be so fun. My kiddo keeps hoping for that!

A woman in blue shorts, a black and pink jacket, and a black and pink helmet.

Well…I started my own collection of motorcycle gear so I can ride on the back of my husband’s bike. 😱 Got a helmet, armored jacket, and gloves today. I just need pants and boots now! Watch out world!

Seeing Iron and Wine in concert tonight!

My tattoo is in the itchy phase. Must…resist…scratching…

I. Love. This!

💚 Thank you!

I had such a wonderful time with a beautiful group of women at a new moon ceremony tonight. It really helped to drive home a lot of what I’ve been working on through therapy and was so healing. Very grateful for this magical community. 💚 #Pagan #NewMoon
