Mountains give us a chance to fall in love with the land.

Younger me liked to say, follow your heart. Older me loves to say, lead with your heart. Believe in yourself, big change is coming. 

Been exciting to see so much momentum growing in the fediverse embracing the opportunity to create "public social media".

Happy #mountainmonday Sharing a few photos from last Monday #splitboarding Mt Ellinor. Was going to head to #MtRainier last week but it was closed mid week. Hope thats not a new budget cut. A lot challenges ahead, stay positive theres gonna be a real needed opportunity to show support, lead and share what you know. #NationalPark #nationalforest #natureheals #support #leadership #opportunity

New paths are opening in my life, beyond what I could ever imagine. Im a bit lost for words in this moment, just looking up and processing. Bigger opportunities for myself on the horizon yet a sorrow sinks in. Setting clear, honest intentions. Intentions to share the beauty I find; positivity in hopes of helping more people; surrounded by love to give. Life has a funny way of revealing itself, especially when you least expect it. Never give up! Know this, if it wasn't for your bad days, how would you know when you are having a good one? 

For now I need some time to reflect, to grieve, to cherish those I recently lost and focus on what my heart can give. Self care is all I can ask from you, please be kind to yourself. I am aware & conscious to what is happening around us, please don't give up. I recently lost a dear friend, someone I knew who had the most potential to give, who light up a room bright for every kid. We are all connected; we are all one.

My friends, Im going to share a secret blessing I found during the first round of trump. Many mountains give hot springs. Soak your body, relax thy mind and heal your woes. Surrender a moment and revive your soul. Mother natures sacred way of telling you: you are loved, embrace the warmth around.  

Sometimes taking a moment to slow down & recharge creates space to let go. I have never left a hot spring angry, worried or stressed. Accept this free gift from the heart of mother earth.

After I experienced the deep pain of grief; I didn’t really know what to do with myself. I asked what do people do in these situations? Before I could finish that thought…. I had a powerful moment of realization and awareness. I said to myself “I don’t want to hurt anyone, and I don’t want to hurt myself.” I knew I needed to connect with something real and the typical 9-5 wouldn’t be an option. I set out for the mountains, finding myself living at a ski area working 6 days a week in lift ops & freeride coaching. When the season came to a close I knew I needed to stay connected with more opportunities in nature so I went up to Alaska and worked as a guide. I made this video highlighting my first season there. Its a pretty rough cut, slow edit, admittedly slightly boring, but shows a lot of the amazing things you can experience around the Kenai Peninsula. Be patient, be kind, give yourself time and space to love yourself. #natureheals #Alaska #guidelife #Kenai

#Selfcare with plants. I'm awfully exhausted right now. But there's still a plant blooming in my garden that's a friend to me. You can talk to flowers and they chatter with their scent.

Spent my afternoon walking in the woods. It was needed!

Sharing a recent photo that very likely was the furthest I have ever gone for a photo. Whatever news the day may bring, know we can all go much farther than we think we can. This photo is proof. I have never gone that far, I wasn’t sure if I could or even should and now I share what you put into your mind you can do. Believe in yourself. These are words I need to hear today, this post might be more to me than to you but I truly hope it can resonate with you too. If you have a big idea, don’t hold it in, share it. We have amazing tools built to connect online with amazing people all around the world, let’s support the change we wish to see together.

11 years ago I lost my brother to opiates. He was the typical (American) teenage opiate addict starting with Dr. prescribed pharmaceuticals quickly becoming terribly addicted leading him into the needles of the streets. Loosing my brother that way rocked me, it still rocks me as this battle still continues horribly in the US. In his honor I brought him to the top of Mt Baker. I share to spread hope knowing there is healing in nature. Be kind to yourself. #natureheals #grief #mountains #healing

I make circles to remind myself that I am whole, to bring all the scattered aspects of myself together as one healthy, functional, interesting Self. The opposite of dissociating, the counterbalance to disconnectedness. I make a lot of circles, and I make them from the natural world which heals me.

So, feeling run-down and crummy the past day or so, but Covid test came up negative. Last night, I bundled up, went to the edge of the woods, and picked white pine needles (for tea) from a nearby young pine tree. I treaded slowly, since I deliberately didn't bring a flashlight (the snow had made things bright enough to navigate). The sky was clear and I did some stargazing. I am so grateful to be able to go out and do these sorts of things physically, and I thanked Mother Earth and the pine tree for healing plants and a beautiful view of the heavens. Feeling much better today -- like I had a bit of a reset last night. There's something about being in nature at night -- especially in the winter, the only sounds being owls, or hearing an occasional non-human footstep -- even if one feels malaise -- that is so healing.
