October 4, 2016

Today's rain carries more characteristics to early spring weather because green spaces are still abundant against the gray sky. Fall has arrived though and days when the sky opens up set me in a desire to close my eyes and listen to sounds that mix well with the drops falling to the roof, so here are some of my favorites today: Sufjan Stevens. Bon Iver. The Apache Relay. Air Traffic Controller. The Lumineers. The National. Houndmouth. Typhoon. Take in the rain. Take in the sound. 

Sufjan Stevens — "Futile Devices"


Bon Iver — "29 #Strafford APTS"


The Apache Relay — "Can't Wake Up"


Air Traffic Controller — "You Know Me"


The Lumineers — "Ophelia"


The National — "Fake Empire"


Houndmouth — "Sedona"


Typhoon — "Summer Home"

When I learned to lock Fear away and embrace Bravery instead, a world shaking mindset change happened. Courage started rooting deep - I was held and carried by the wild earth, and I tiptoed away from the pool of stagnant water I believed was meant for me. I realized when I crept away from mundane stillness that beauty is in every corner. I laced up my shoes because I wanted to chase it, to evolve a lion's heart that craved bravery.

It’s time to courage, my friend. Join me in April for A Month of Bravery Missions — if your curiosity has been seized, I invite you to head to the link in my bio and register. There’s a place for you, Brave Explorer 🌲 Let’s put your sleeping fears to rest.
These are a few of my favorite things... climbing over logs + scrambling through rocky canyons, coffee dates + snipping blooms, weaving + writing + wearing comfy clothes for adventures.

Happy #bangsblitz day, everyone! @bangsshoes is a rad adventure show company that gives back to creative entrepreneurs around the world 🙌🏽 #bangsblitzday #livebangs #bangsambassador
Gift a bouquet to your love, give fresh blooms to your sisters, forage in the dirt for flowers for yourself because it’s satisfying to cultivate beauty for yourself. Happy Valentine's Day, loves. You are worthy, brave, deeply beloved and cosmically lionhearted. Give yourself flowers today and put them on your wall so your sweet soul might enjoy their beauty. 🥀🥀🥀 * pick up or forage a bouquet
* take each individual stem, thank it for being unique and lovely
* tear off a piece of strong tape in whatever color you choose
* turn the stem upside down and tape it to the wall
* do those steps until you have a flower wall in your space
* remember you're loved each time you glance at the blooms as they dry and beauty is preserved 
Love you and you and you, today and everyday. If you need to be reminded of your courage, dear Lionheart, please check out my post right before this one 💛
