Alaska, I love you. Wild, open and free! To spend time up here will heal your heart and nurture your soul. Extra bonus: explore it with someone who means the world to you. Another layer of goodness for your wellbeing. This is just the beginning of my trip and I can feel the difference in my state: calmer, relaxed and more joyful. Best way to connect with your heart is to get into the wild. Thanks to my cousin for being such a wonderful host and loving nature at much as I do. It has made us closer than ever, in the most authentic way. I am truly blessed and grateful. More to come….just you wait!

This is a critical time for the protection of the Grey Wolves. Congress is in the process of removing them from the Engaged Species List. This is just the opposite of what they need right now. They need to be protected to keep a balanced ecosystem. Removing them from the list opens the doors for more mistreatment. Many states are not capable to manage wolves and another important wildlife ethically and scientifically. Call your Senators and let them know you do not support the Trust the Science Act. You may phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request. If you do not already know your Legislators (Senators and Representative), you can identify them by entering your zip code at Congress.org. Not sure what to say? Here is a Sample Script: Hi Senator ______: As a supporter and proponent of science-based conservation efforts and logical wildlife management, I request that you VOTE NO on the Trust The Science Act. This bill is anything by scientific and will further hinder gray wolf recovery efforts. If the Act passes, unethical practice will occur in many more states, and will threaten wolves with extinction, damaging on our natural ecosystem we need to survive. Please do not let the “Trust the Science” Act pass. Thank you.

We moved into this home summer of 1974. And 50 years later, we will be officially moving out. With every ending, there’s a chance for something new. I am grateful for this home: a lot has happened under this roof that made me the person I am today. And I am excited for my next chapter: one that is packed with visions and dreams. This is the beginning of something new. Stay tuned…so many exciting news to share.🦋

It’s a beautiful day. 💛🩵🤍🩷

I’m very serious about self care, especially when it comes to mine. It is one of my highest priorities, and I make decisions with my needs factored in. I didn’t have it in me this past week to deliver a newsletter that I thought was worthy of my audience. My newsletters are one of my favorites ways to engage with this community. I have fun putting them together and love the feedback and interactions. Yeah, it’s a bit of a personal letdown, which means there’s also a lesson. So I paused to think what I needed to do next. When I realized that I just wasn’t going to deliver, I chose to act with grace and kindness in moving forward. This includes the thoughts and actions towards myself. I understand why I didn’t get the newsletter out, and I’m going to be very nice to myself about it. We have a choice on how we want to navigate life. If your actions are calm and respectful, that is how you treat yourself and what you bring into this world. Isn’t that a beautiful way to make a difference? Tune in next week. Newsletter is coming and it will be worth the wait. Take good care of yourselves. 🫶🏻 To be on the list, sign up through my website. Link in the bio.

Yup, lots of transition taking place these days. My family is definitely at some major crossroads. Like any form of change, it has been hard on my mind , body and soul. There’s no resentment in what’s happening. I’m just aware and accepting of the situation. Something that I am truly adamant about: making sure we take care of ourselves during our challenging times. Our vulnerability is something scared: it’s our true self, fully exposed. We all deserve love, tenderness and compassion, especially during these times. Even our closest darlings can’t be there for us all the time. And that’s OK. That’s why we need to learn to be our own best friend and be our own advocate for the care we need. And that’s why I turn to nature: always there for me, giving me what I need to be my best. In a way, nature IS my best friend - and for that I am grateful. Take good care of yourself. You totally deserve it. 🫶🏻

Hi! My name is Carrie, and I’m a wellness coach specializing in mindfulness and ecotherapy. I am here for people who are wanting to navigate through life mindfully. Mindfulness means being in a calm, present state so that when life comes at you, you’re able to respond with love instead of react with fear. This state also allows a clean connection with your mind and heart, giving you peace and stability. To help with the transition, I present each mindful practice as the ritual it is (since a ritual is way more special than a routine). If you’re curious and want to know more, I have a FREE handbook on mindful wellness tips. My bio has the link. And remember, home is where your heart is. 🫶🏻

My Aunt Linda. On paper, we were not related. However, in life, she was more than my aunt. She was my everything. I first met her when I was around 3 years old. Instantly she took me in under her wing and became my greatest role model and has had the most incredible influence on me. She saw my inner sparkle long before I could and wanted to see me shine like no other. There was just something about her. I could turn to her for anything and she was always there, unconditionally. And she always gave the best advice that came straight from her huge heart. I could not have navigated through life without the wisdom she shared. Her lessons have saved me many times. Cancer took her away from us in 2006. I was pissed for a very long time. She touched so many people’s hearts so deeply. I was certain that we needed her here. As the years have gone by, I am realizing that a spirit so special has work to do beyond what I can comprehend. That has given me peace. When I was 15 she took me to NYC for my first time. That was also the first time I experienced club dancing (of course she took me). Today, I know she’s looking over me, making sure I don’t let my sparkle go out. And I also know that when I’m dancing, she’s dancing with me. Always. She is who I dedicate my book to, and today is her birthday. ❤️

Nature can calm us. Give us peace. Being in a peaceful state allows our hearts and minds to be truly connect. And this is when we connect with our souls. And that is a beautiful thing. Step outside, engage with nature and get your inner peace on. Thank you, Mother Nature. 🫶🏻💚
