    // Today, my brother heads on the journey of a lif // Today, my brother heads on the journey of a lifetime to begin walking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. I know the journey from south to north will be measurable in more than miles (which I’m praying with be 2,190). The lessons he will learn from nature and his mind & the people he meets along the way could open doors to new ways of seeing and being. I am so STOKED for Kenneth as he takes his first steps on this journey. He has been preparing for this moment for years - visualizing, researching, preparing. He became obsessed with ultralight backpacking, which is SO RAD because his pack weighs 20 POUNDS!!! I can’t wait to meet up with Kenneth as he gets into NY, CT, PA, MA, MH, ME...! We are all cheering for you, Kenneth! I love you bro!

    // Good morning ✨ Who else is excited for weeken // Good morning ✨ Who else is excited for weekends like this?! I can’t wait to camp, backpack, climb, and adventure in the sunshine! I started planning a few trips and I’m getting very, very excited hehe 😁 What are you looking forward to this spring/summer?!

There is pure magic in being intentional with time, energy, and self awareness. It takes courage to ask for what we need and to speak out heart. I’ve been practicing this by not just saying “It’s all good” when I’m feeling stressed. I’ve been more honest and raw, even when I’m judging myself for sounding “too negative.” My positive self wants to find the light in all situations. Yet, some situations are just dark & ugly & stressful & annoying & yucky & sad... and THAT’S OKAY! We sometimes try to fix these things. To feel better. To get on the other side. Yet, if we just sit... stay a while.... and get to know ourselves even in the darkest moments, we may become lighter and more free. We become more comfortable with our whole selves. This is an act of self love and compassion I plan to continue practicing. Because I deserve more than self-judgement... and so do you!
🖤🤍🖤🤍
Here’s to the light and the shadows that coexist in all of us. The light in me honors the light in you. Namaste, my friends! And HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

    // Hi 🙂 today, I grant you permission to rest and // Hi 🙂 today, I grant you permission to rest and restore. Have a beautiful Saturday 💕 productivity can be simple. It can be nurturing. Today, let it be whatever you need it to be. It can be a morning laying in bed, or a meal shared with a loved one. It can be reading and writing, or watching your favorite show. I started with an easy morning today. Gentle stretching. Watching Vikings. Sharing morning coffee with my parents. It’s been simple and I’ve needed this feeling.
💕How are you resting and restoring today?
xo, kristen
