Serene Nature Post to start your day with ease and some tranquility 😌😌

Oops! I almost forgot to post my weekly post! I apologize y’all, I’ve got a couple notes in the works but I’ve just been a little busy with applications and all. Soo….I don’t have a written post this week again🙊🙈🙈.

BUT…. I love hiking and parks. There’s something so serene about being in nature and the wilderness that I truly thrive off of.

So I thought I’d leave you with a little picturesque scene from one of my nature walks last fall. Sighh, oh how I do miss the seasons when snow isn’t on the ground. (I think I’d be less salty if I had a working car to be honest)😅😬

(I also had to shovel my way out of my neighborhood this morning, just to get to work, because the snow plower didn’t come to our house this morning🤦🏽‍♀️. So that wasn’t making me like winter any more than I already barely did)

Book Reflections: Eyes to the Wind by Ady Barkan

I have a private instagram where I document all my lil book reflections and selfies and silly photos with my friends, but I thought I’d bring some of the book reflections over here. Below is a reflection I wrote down in the midst of reading this book. I got to the end of the chapter and was so illuminated by it’s contents, that I quickly wrote down whatever I could.

As a privileged daughter of two doctors I’ve always been taught to behave humbly around others and constantly be aware of the privilege I have. And while I loved that lesson, I think I tended to mix it with this sort of guilt-trip; Where I’d feel guilty around my friends because I knew I had blessings and opportunities that they did not have. I felt guilty for just being me. But reading this taught me a lot about what one can DO with privilege instead of wasting time, feeling guilty for having nice things in life!

This man’s plight and fight for justice, all while dealing with a terminal, and progressively worsening disease was such an inspiring moment. He truly spoke (and continues to speak) till his last breath. I honestly recommend everyone, no matter who you are, to please read this book. Death is a fact of life we will all inevitably have to face, but this man’s one story can really change the way you think about things. And perhaps live through action instead of in fear.
