born to explore!

 
 
I have always craved adventure. And I always was striving for the next one. When you begin to work every day, all day and only have a couple days off a week, you begin to need adventure. I NEED AN ADVENTRUE. I need to feel the trees, blowing in the wind, their sweet sweet smell of pine and maple. I need to feel uneven ground, get a little dirty, and feel the demand of my body to move forward. I need to feel the air outside… oh what a concept. Outside. I sit in a cubicle, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am blessed, like I say all the time... I have a big window. I’m blessed again, but I want more than to look outside while breathing inside air. I long to be out, in the warm, cold air. I guess when you are locked up for so long your body starts craving the outside.

 
So I decided to adventure, this Spring, Summer and Fall. I have a couple friends and my boyfriend who are in for the challenge. I’m going to push myself to backpack, hike, swim, climb, camp and get lost a couple times. To not only get my body in shape and strong, but to get into the beautiful outdoors that God has created for us to explore.


I have learned that to heal my body from the constant sitting and non-moving every day, I need to move on the weekends, and move a lot. To fill the void of non-fresh air, I need to get in the air, the mountains, the desert and fields. I need to wander and be places untouched, silent and calm. I want to hear my breath and nothing more. I want to be surrounded by trees and fill my lungs till I can't anymore.
 
I want to get lost. and then find myself again.

things

"Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things."  - Elise Boulding

a note.

This is for the gentle goddesses with watery, empathic hearts, who ooze with oodles of compassion,  eager to soothe another’s suffering . This is for the luscious ladies with restless spirits who can’t stay in one place for long, because our souls are winged, always longing for adventure. Yes, this is just for us: The free-spirited females with fiercely   sensitive hearts . We are a balmy breeze, casually caressing arms lovingly, suddenly here, suddenly there, then suddenly gone. We are a thousand grains of precious pink sand, slowly slipping through soft fingertips, one by one. We   can never be contained   because we aren’t meant to be. We are born to ride the wild winds of passion, surf the turbulent oceans of despair, and relentlessly explore the great vastness of this crazy world — until our bodies collapse in ecstatic exhaustion. We understand deeply that life is a heartbreakingly  beautiful series of goodbyes, hellos, trium...

going on.

entering into my 27th year.... no kids (yet), new job, new start, fitness getting in check, health a top priority, BODY LOVE is going to happen, living the moments.... living each day with not regretting anything. loving, laughing, breathing, keeping it real. messing up, asking for forgiveness and reaching for grace. keeping friends close and letting those go who are walking away. dancing in the strangest moments, remembering to keep it simple.
