Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life? -Mary Oliver

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you think. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, difficult as it is...
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land;
there is no other life but this.”

~ Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

heartbreak seasons
become growing seasons.

the ache that you feel here is
going to get you to fight for yourself…
and stir you to want to find yourself.

from the ache is where you'll
start to grow wings.

The incredible mental health benefits of spending time in nature are backed by science. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, immersing yourself in natural environments can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while boosting mood and overall well-being. Take a moment today to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and reconnect with the healing power of nature! Join me in embracing the power of nature’s therapy by getting outside more and nurturing our connection to the world around us.
