Someday grief feels like an experience all alone and most days it is. Surrounded by 10 people or 100 , it’s just lonely.Today on my hike I was reminded about all those people who are alone in a crowd. Today I challenge you to ask someone how they are doing and listen to the answer and if you’re checking off a box don’t bother. It takes a lifetime to heal so ask someone how they’re doing today and be ready for the answer. Sometimes it’s not always about the answer it’s about the question so be a genuine listener. Thinking about so many people in pain and grieving today. A good friend once said to me “you got 8 minutes?” Sometimes 8 minutes is all it takes. And for me a nice long walk with a good playlist or lately a great hike helps brings the peace and some perspective. Seeing this green ribbon at the top of the Ute Rock reminded me. We are not alone🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY AMERICA! This years celebration is special as we celebrate our 250 years of freedom and independence as the greatest country in the world. But in the midst of such greatness exists some real sadness, as this marks the 1 year anniversary of the Kerrville floods and the many other tragedies where precious lives were lost. Take time celebrate time but don’t forget to pause and remember the lives lost not only in Texas but across the US this past year. We must celebrate our freedom this year, IT’S BIG but we can never forget the cost in each and every life lost enjoying that very freedom. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Thank you to and the vision of for telling our story and the beautiful story of others to the world. You will find our story in the Be the People link in our bio. “If we want a country of the people, by the people, and for the people, then it’s up to each of us to Be The People. We’re problem solvers. Dreamers. Builders. This is the radical spirit that inspired our country’s founding. But 250 years later, some say that’s not who we are anymore. That we can’t get big things done. That we’re too divided. And that for some to get ahead, others have to be left behind.
This simply isn’t true. And we can prove it. The things we do for each other are more powerful than anything that divides us. Be The People is a call to action. A call answered every time Americans step up to make things better, stand up to overcome differences, and show up to help each other succeed.
Let’s show the world what it means to be an American.” 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
