Hello friends, and welcome to the most secret... most magical place... on the entire internet. You are welcome here... to sit and listen to a little whisper of the infinite possibilities that live within YOUR HEART at all times. Who you are matters, and you have so much to bring to the world -- never forget that!
You were born on this planet
Only one of you exists
You matter so much
You have so many gifts
Not one person alive
Sees the universe like you
There's not much I know
But this much is true
Who you are is important
Your dreams are not silly
So keep walking that path
Even when it gets hilly
Each up and each down
A lesson you learn
A new opportunity exists
Around every single turn
Don't let go of ideas
They are meant to stay alive
As you nurture them with love
They start to thrive
And what starts as a glimmer
Will burn as a spark
And the light in your soul
Will brighten the dark
The more glimmers that rise
The more light we will see
The more people will bring
Their unique creativity
A ripple in a pond
It starts very small
But soon all that joy
Is shared with the all
It only takes a single
Person who decides to decide
That they won't live small anymore
That they weren't meant to hide
And as that blossoming happens
A flower so rare
The beauty, unimaginable
Extending infinite care
To all who are part
Of this cosmic river above
And we keep flowing on
Powered by that infinite love.

“Ah, the clandestine rendezvous of positivity and melodies! Thank you to the stealthy warriors of sustainability and comfort! Your commitment to reusable pee cloths is not just inspiring but a testament to making a positive impact, one discreet pee at a time. Let’s celebrate each other and uplift the world with our positive actions, gratitude and kindness.”
Gratitude for another day to soak up a laugh, a hug and to see that this day is all I have so be where my feet are.
I am grateful for the peace that camping brings me. Looking forward to enjoying some this weekend.
I am taking my 12 year old daughter and my niece backpacking with me for the first time. In the past three years I’ve also introduced backpacking to my sister, sister-in-law, one of my best friends and will be taking her and her daughter later this summer. It’s become traditional that when I take a female backpacking with me I give them a Kula. It’s so special being able to share the joy and peace I feel in the wilderness with those I love. Helping them feel comfortable peeing in the woods is a big part of the process. I cannot wait for this weekend and the memories we will make. I am hopeful it opens to door to many more trips and a continuing love of the outdoors in my kiddo.
I am content to be me.
