The sun has set on our time in the Land of Enchantment. The skies were breathtaking, the food was impeccable, and the secrets of the land are held by Diné, some of which, we’ll never know. That’s what makes this place so special. It doesn’t give away it’s magic to you. You have to earn it. Thanks for holding us while we grew, NM.

We came for the watering hole. Hank stayed for the sticks, Jessi stayed to protect Mom, and Mom stayed to look at Dad’s muscles 🤷🏻‍♀️ Successful Sunday Adventure with the Turner Gang 🍃 (at New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgIzlH5OBI_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feeling a lot more like this than myself lately. Between shadow and self it’s hard to not fall back into old mindsets while still honoring new growth. Just like the light of day after a long dark night, ready or not, it’s coming. (at Self Worth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgAhNg3OWDy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday I hiked to the top of a hill to talk to God, cried a lot, asked for a sign, saw a lot of bee butts, spotted and are (duh) a copious amount of wild raspberries, and found a four leaf clover. Little reminders that we make our own luck; we just gotta bet on ourselves and become our own damn lotto ticket. 🍀🤞🏼 (at A Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSQAsWupjbi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here’s a photo I never posted from 2018* because I didn’t think it fit into my feed’s ~aEsThEtIc~ lololol *for date proof, peep the lack of my ||’s 😂🤔 (at Forest Park, Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfOomCDwQF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Being 28 and finding a new hobby is probably my fav thing about 2021 thus far. I have been thinking about this a lot because it’s deeper than just “I found a new interest!”. To be honest, this wouldn’t be something I would be able to say if my mental health wasn’t in check. So shout out to everyone that’s taking care of their mental health to the point that they can *fathom* trying or pursuing something new. And here’s an even bigger shoutout to those who aren’t in that headspace right now. Because there is hope. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel. There is so much potential to grow in and of yourself. So keep pushing. Regardless of whether you reach that point of readiness tomorrow, next week, or next year, I’m proud of you, and your interests will still be there. The birdies were waiting for me 😉🪶🐣 (at Embudo Canyon, Albuquerque) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMZlpODOJQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m having an ~eMoTiOnAl~ day. It could be because it’s Father’s Day and there is a lot of pain there. It could be that it’s Cancer season and ya girl is tried and trueeee that water sign. It could be that it’s my moms birthday and I always feel like the holiday overshadowed that for her. It could be that I’m catching up on the last season of Greys and literally every dead person is revisiting this season and I’m feeling a lot. So here’s a photo of Sycamore bark because these trees can literally survive in a ton of weird environments, because apparently, we can too.
