There is a magical spot just off the main road in town, where sunflowers crowd in to smile in front of the rocks. At sunset during sunflower season, it is one of my favorite places. QOTD: Do you have a secret spot you like to go -- one that no one else se

Hey, everyone! Sorry to be gone for so long. The first weeks of school rushed in, and there hasn't been time for anything else. However, I'm finally back, and it's so good to be here. I missed you all! QOTD: What have you been up to these past few weeks?⠀

Sometimes you have to let go if you want to fly. QOTD: What have you let go of? Habits? Thought patterns? People? Outdated dreams? Anger or resentment? Something else entirely? Whatever it was, I hope it helped you soar. Note for the curious: I took this

Tourist season has hit our town. As the people pour in, I find myself dreaming of vast deserts and lonely beaches and quiet forests. (It's the introvert in me. I'm an INFJ all the way.)⠀ ⠀ QOTD: Are you an introvert or an extrovert?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Me: What shouId I say about this?⠀ ⠀ 8yo: Beautiful red-and-white cactus with a tad of green. I love that it doesn't take up all the water in the universe because it's a succulent, so it doesn't need that much water.⠀ ⠀ Me: Sold!⠀ ⠀ QOTD: What do you when

Snow makes the perfect backdrop for Delicate Arch. My brother and I did this winter hike -- along with a thermos of hot chocolate to treat ourselves when we got to the top! It's a local hike for me, but I still don't make it as often as I'd like. ⠀ ⠀ QOTD

STORY TIME: When I was a child, a "fixed mindset" was the norm. Either you were good at something or you weren't. If you weren't good, you could practice and maybe improve a tiny bit, but you'd be better off concentrating on your strengths and improving t

This is the Windows section of Arches National Park with the freshly-snowed-upon La Sal Mountains rising behind. Winter is a (relatively) quiet time of year to visit the park -- and, with the snow on the mountains, it's also my favorite. It's a perfect pl
