Hello all! As you know, in-person shopping is coming to standstill for many and thousands of businesses are struggling to identify how to maintain a sense of normalcy in their customers' lives as well as in their business. I am really passionate about collaborating with small businesses on their website/online presence and would like to support those looking to bring their brick and mortar online or identify new avenues of serving their customer base. If you are a small business looking for: 💡website development, growth and/or maintenance 💡email marketing 💡social media content 💡virtual assistant then I'm your gal! Send me a DM or comment below and we'll chat about how we can navigate these choppy waters, together! Now enjoy this picture of me as a sassy 6-year-old soccer player who hadn't yet torn her ACL 3x. ⚽
Welcome the newest member to the Fry-McCoy family: Edna! 🐶 🐾 Edna is a 14-year-old Shar-Pei Mix who we discovered through the @muttvillesf hospice program. @mjmccy and I immediately fell in love and knew we wanted to be her forever, however long that would be. Most friends & family aren’t surprised that we’ve adopted a senior pup as we’ve adopted senior cats in the past. What can I say, I love vintage! 😉 We hope that when people meet Edna they see that twinkle in her eye and pep in her step that wouldn’t be possible without the fantastic fosters, rescuers and adopters that take on senior pets - especially hospice cases. We hope she inspires someone to open their heart to others like her so they get to enjoy their golden years like she will with us ❤️
I really really miss Hawaii and spending time outside with this guy. ☀️🏔
It’s easy to dismiss ourselves and our impact on people, places and things. “I’m just one person” is a toxic and limiting mentality that stops you from experiencing more. I truly believe in every single person on this earth and the positive impact that is capable. I believe that sharing experiences through storytelling & art will always be the most important way of enacting positive change. I won’t stop sharing my love and admiration for this planet and how lucky I am to experience its beauty. I won’t stop sharing how our consumer habits can be better and we can do better by Mother Nature. We hold the power to make our future brighter through the choices that we make. Whether that’s through voting or through who we give our money to... we never know when our choices may inspire another and another and another. There is the potential for a chain reaction of GOOD every day we are on this Earth. 🌏
Today is Christmas and @mjmccy and I were scheduled to kayak the Wailua River but our tour was canceled due to powerful storms last night causing the river to flood. So we instead went to a beach down the road from where we are staying. I was shocked at what I saw. Plastic for miles. 🥤 I said to myself I am only one person but that won’t stop me from doing my part and began to clean. Marty found a bin for us to use for the time being and we went to work. Families walked past staring and murmuring to themselves as they saw us slowly make our way down the beach. While I hoped folks would join us in helping, none did. After almost an hour, we were approached by a local woman who was stunned at our efforts. “Usually tourists complain when they see what’s happened here. They’ll say they paid good money to fly here and can’t understand why the beach isn’t in pristine condition. Then they leave instead of helping us.” She explained to us that the plastic came from a trash island in the ocean and wood in the water had come down from the mountains via the river and it was important to get it out before it sank to the bottom. Once it sinks it begins to decay and release methane which kills the marine life. All of this debris, plastic and wood, came to the beach overnight. So, we went to work. 🌴 Before we started the swimming area was covered in wood - no water to be seen. After 2 hours we could see our progress with the water slowly clearing up as we took more and more out. Thankfully, 4 others offered to help as Marty and I were beginning to burn out after almost 3 hours of work. I share all this not to depress you but to ignite you to action. Whether it’s picking up trash in a parking lot, buying and using a reusable water bottle, keeping metal cutlery in your car or purse instead of using plastic, or just sharing this post with friends and family. We all can make an impact and inspire others to do and be better. We are in charge of this Earth and we are responsible for it. 🌏 I did not personally put that plastic into the ocean but who put it there DOESN’T matter when I can do something about it RIGHT NOW. ‼️
Keeping nature wild isn’t just about picking up trash, it’s also about leaving as minimal of an impact as possible when we visit these places — that includes leaving your 🖌🖍🖊 at home. The purpose of spending time outside isn’t to own it, claim it, mark it, or exploit it... it’s about appreciating its beauty, protecting it, loving it, and advocating for its growth. When you spend time outside do take pictures, do soak in the majesty, do share your experiences but do it in a way that allows generations to experience its purity, too. 📍on Patwin land #keepnaturewild #wildkeepers #impactday
