So much gratitude for my “birthday moon” tonight, as a friend called it – the most beautiful, bright, full moon – to close out my 30th year and welcome in a new one. I am back in Wyoming, where the solace of wide open space speaks most clearly to my heart right now, and I …

“Life is unfolding as it should.” One of my high school English teachers, Mrs. Hargreaves, said that in class one day and I never forgot it. I remember writing it in the margin of my notebook and I still find much comfort in it to this day. I’m currently obsessed with Ben Howard’s album, Every …

It’s Saturday night at my parent’s house and we’re having a pulled pork Packers party, cheering for our beloved team in the playoffs.

One of the best things about the Christmas season, in my opinion, is that there is a lot more board game and card playing. Some favorites in my family are Apples to Apples, Scrabble, Gin Rummy, Cribbage, Mexican Train Dominos, and Monopoly. We’re particularly serious about our gin rummy, holding full scale tournaments at family …

For HOME! There is nothing like stepping off a plane and taking a big gulp of fresh B.C air. I was greeted with some gorgeous sunny days and took advantage of them, going on some epic hikes in West Van and Squamish. For fall weather, fireplaces, cozy sweaters, good books and CHAI LATTES! For FAMILY …

I remember sitting beside you in church as a little girl, holding your hand as you moved through your rosary beads with your other one. We would squeeze our hands three times, a secret and silent code for ‘I love you’ and you’d wink at me and I’d pass it on to Mom. You would …

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” ~John Muir Two years ago, my brother and I roadtripped home from …

Today I turn 30 years old. It’s been a beautiful, messy, thrilling ride thus far and it’s only just begun. I am so grateful for my unique journey, and for all the experiences and people who have filled me up with so much love over the years. I can’t help but wear all …
