    We’ve had so much sun that I’ve been playing and walking outside for at least an hour everyday :)

    Today I spent a few hours in Forest Park. All around me was the songs of birds, the sound of branches and leaves blowing, and the bright sun peaking through the forest canopy. No matter how many times I visit the forest I am always in awe when standing underneath a tall Douglas Fir.

    As I reflect my own abundance onto my everyday experiences, I feel a deeper connection to my place in the world. Embodying gratitude for me looks like taking more time with my day to day ordinary activities. The more I practice this kind of ease, the more I experience it in all facets of my life.

    I went for a 20 mile bike ride this morning through the fall trees. How wonderful to feel like part of the ecosystem :)

    I walk everyday and love noticing how slowly the the leaves and plants are shifting their energy back into their roots.

    On Saturday I spent the entire day in the woods walking and mushroom foraging. It's amazing to experience the diversity of plant life that makes up the entire ecosystem. When I dug around in the dirt for the mushrooms I was able to experience the mycelium web—what an amazing network of organisms!
