The happy girl can be the sad one, too

Before: I wouldn't write a personal post like this for fear of potential employers, current employers or past employers seeing it. What would they think? Would…

Had the best helper today picking up trash along our walking trail. 🗑 It may seem nasty to pick up someone else’s trash when you’re out and about but someone else’s bad behavior shouldn’t stop you from doing some good! 👍 Today is @keepnaturewild #ImpactDay where us #wildkeepers show how easy it is to incorporate this best practice into your outdoor routine! 🌲 Start with a small goal such as pick up 5 pieces of trash while I’m out walking my dog today (put the trash in a poop bag to reduce using another bag) and then build on that! 🐕 Of course don’t pick up anything that can be harmful to you such as metal, broken glass, toxic chemicals, or medical supplies unless you have the proper gear to pick it up safely and dispose of it. ❌ Once you start it’ll become addicting to do — I equate it to catching Pokémon 🤷🏻‍♀️
At first I considered not putting this photo up without cropping it because I’ve always been self conscious about my legs. But then I remembered how proud I am of them and how hard they worked this weekend and they deserve love and appreciation as much as any other part or feature on my body. So thank you legs for carrying me up mountains, across streams and through patches of snow. You’re the real MVP of this weekend. 🦵 ❤️
We decided to take the kayaks out for an adventure this glorious Sunday and it turned into a marshland cleanup! 🗑 @mjmccy grabbed the styrofoam cooler from the waters and as we walked back to our car we picked up trash along the way. By the end of our trek we had a completely full cooler which included: a shotgun shell, now 6 CD, shoelaces, beer bottles, cigarettes, straws and plastic bags. If you see trash: PLEASE try to pick it up. While you may not be “yours” this 🌎 is yours to nourish, honor and protect ❤️ . . . . . . . . . #keepnaturewild #wildkeepers #optoutside #naturelovers #outdoorenthusiast #leavenotrace #california #kayaking #wateradventures #begreen #ecofriendlyliving
I took this photo of Notre Dame in 2012 while I stayed in Paris for a month with my mom. I’m devastated because it, to me, is a living testament to 800 years of people, actions and beliefs. It’s a testament of passion, of pain, of hope, of trial. It is more representative of the heart of Paris than any other monument in the city. It’s a reminder that cannot be ignored as long as it stands. 🙏 ❤️
As an advocate for nature, I am excited that more people are seeking time outside. In a world that is so wrapped up in technology and always being available and “on,” running away to the wilderness where there is no way to reach you, is a welcome reprieve. But, as an advocate for protecting nature, I am concerned that geotagging and the attitude of “doing it for the ‘gram” is actually creating lasting negative impacts on these wild places.

I was raised by a strong woman and she was raised by a strong woman. Strength isn’t a one size fits all - it is tested, developed and shaped by a variety of faces, places, circumstances, situations, and societies. But what’s beautiful about strength is that it unites, it loves and it inspires. On this #internationalwomensday I challenge you to find your strength and share it — it doesn’t have to be with the world, it can be with a close friend, a family member or even just said aloud. Own your strength. It’s part of your legacy and could shape legacies to come. 💪🏼💪💪🏾💪🏻💪🏿💪🏽 Thanks to @morganharpernichols for this beautiful graphic. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #empoweringwomen #strength #shareyourstory #bebetterthanyesterday #womenshistorymonth #womensupportwomen #beyourownhero #standup
