Japan during Sakura season! 🌸
It's been a million years since I've been on this platform, so this is a much belated share. We had the absolute honor of going on a much awaited trip to Japan this spring. This was the first time either of my older kids had been out of the country and what experience it was! Learning the customs, the culture through direct experience really helped to connect us to this origin point for my kids through their father. We built some great memories and made some new friends!

I have rarely been able to share so deeply and personally my lived experience. Going through big life and death circumstances with the people that you love most makes it almost impossible to write about anything else. I hope that if you read this, you receive something that you can carry with you into life's most tender and glorious times. Maybe those times for you are right now.

A reindeer, two princesses, a death eater, the joker, Jason, and Among Us walk down main Street. . . And get candied. Hard. 😂. Happy Halloween, y'all! And if you're in Silverton Make sure to stop by the neighborhood ( ) where it's as fun as Halloween every day they're open! Tomorrow is their one year anniversary of being here and spreading their cool all around town. I'm so glad that Monica and Dave made this dream a reality!

The great thing about coming down off the mountain is that now everyone wants to go hiking with me! I feel the most myself in the woods. I feel the most of myself on a mountain.
