Things I learned this summer:
- how to effectively roll a kayak (aaaaand ride big water even though it’s not pictured here)
- how to do anything and everything with a ramp (pickle, pesto, cornbread, sauté, the whole dang thing)
- how to make side hustles full-time hustles (check out my prints!!!)
- how to actually support myself and make a living wage (not to anyone’s surprise, non-profit salaries do not pay)
- how to take care of myself (I’m running and writing again)
- TO WEAR A DAMN MASK (this pandemic is real and it’s up to us to heal it)
- aaaand that this upcoming election is not a party polarized decision — but of fascism vs. democracy (so freaking VOTE like your life depends on it — disclaimer, it does)
- that the only consistency I know is that life is a pattern of learning and unlearning (and I will always be a lifelong learner)
Take care of yourselves out there. Know what keeps you sane. Educate yourselves. Do good and be good. AND VOTE.
Thankful for these mountains and my people through all of it 💛
