Boone Trip Day Two gave me a day on one the dopest trails to wander on since living in NC.

📍Boone Fork Trail > Section of the MTS > Hebron Falls > Tanawha Trail.

Hope to see you on the trails and remember, stay hiking, stay healing. ✌🏽💫

Ps. Don’t forget to be a good human and leave Mother Earth better than you found it. 🫶🏽

My sister surprise gifted me this thriving Mother-In-Law’s Tongue aka Snake Plant. 🥰

My adoration for plants was rekindled during my recent training as a Forest Therapy Guide. Since completing the program, my sister has helped nurture and deepen this connection.

Plants remind me that when we feel drained of life, we must learn to water ourselves. We do this with acts of self-love and gentle reminders of our worth. With practice and belief, these small acts take root — and like the plants, we, too, will rise, grow, and bloom. 🌿

Just as we water ourselves, our relationship with the land reminds us of reciprocity — it offers healing, energy, and renewal, and in return, I offer care, gratitude, and reverence. By tending to plants and supporting their growth, I nourish my own roots as well.

To my sister, , thank you for giving me more than just a plant! 💛🪴

Hope to see you on the trails and remember, stay hiking, stay healing. ✌🏽💫

Thought I was scheduled to open at the 9-5 but I wasn’t so off to the trails I went! I checked out Lake Johnson Nature Park for for a quick near to me outdoor fun before I went back to work.

It’s a mostly paved trail with beautiful scenery and a lake that the trail loops around. Locals say it also has a nature trail that you can venture on but I had on White walking shoes so I did not check that section out. Next time!

📍 Lake Johnson Nature Park
🌳 Lake Johnson East Loop Trail
🥾 2.8 miles | Easy | Loop

Part of the paved trail has a couple of steep inclines. Trail is bike, dog, and stroller friendly.

Hope to see you on the trails and remember, stay hiking, stay healing. ✌🏽💫

Took myself on a much needed nature therapy session at Medoc Mountain State Park over the weekend.

6 miles of acceptance, being present with my emotions, release, reminiscing, healing, and leaving with a lighter heart. ❤️‍🩹
