Adventures in Oregon: Deschutes River Trail

March 20, 2020March 20, 2020 / Kelly / Leave a comment

'In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.'-Alice Walker I love to be outside and there are few places better to do this than Oregon. Bend is a nature lover's paradise. The temperatures are starting to rise and the sun. Spring is … Continue reading Adventures in Oregon: Deschutes River Trail

I really love Norman! 'The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.'-Jenny Lawson The end of the year is always a time for reflection and 2019, I can honestly say, was the greatest year of my life.

Dispatches from the Road: The Oregon Coast

‘You will love the ocean. It makes you feel small, but not in a bad way. Small because you realize you’re part of something bigger.’–Lauren Myracle When I moved to Oregon, I had hoped to spend the weekend before my birthday in Philadelphia. Friends were getting married and my best friends just had a baby. … Continue reading Dispatches from the Road: The Oregon Coast

'It’s about taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they’re the same moments we take into battle with us'-Jenny Lawson I still cannot believe that I flew across the globe, by myself, and spent two of the most glorious weeks … Continue reading Adventures Down Under: Be Brave and Live Furiously

Adventures Down Under: The Great Ocean Road

'The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.'-Wyland I have come to the end of the road Down Under so it seems appropriate that the last thing I did was spend the day on the Ocean Road! Much like the Pacific Coast Highway, of which this is very reminiscent, the … Continue reading Adventures Down Under: The Great Ocean Road

Had some wild weather while visiting the Badlands but my tent survived and I woke up to the most beautiful sunrise! All about it on the blog, link in bio. I walked past Silver Rail Elementary almost everyday while living in Bend as it was right next to my apartment. My heartbreaks for the community and everyone who has been impacted by today’s mass shooting. I’m not sure why we cannot do anything to try and prevent events like today. My love to everyone there. ‘The center of the universe is everywhere.’ -Black Elk a tiny gusbug and a kitchen rug he peed all over…I miss it everyday. @magnolia can you please reissue @target!?! My favorite place… As I’ve gotten older, the more I care about how I live my life on my terms and not what others think. Texas State Bison Herd call @caprockcanyonsstatepark home. Coming soon…all about my summer road trip and a life unexpected. I do not remember a time that I wasn’t anxious, in big ways and small, but I thought I was crazy and crazy meant rubber rooms and surrounded by white walls. Eventually, it led to a breakdown at 17, a month after I graduated high school. Over time, I embraced that I had chronic generalized anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. I am not ashamed and had gradually mentioned it to students. Then, about 10 years ago, a student said that they had been struggling with depression and that I seemed okay, maybe they would too. I realized how big one small voice could be and then, I became an open book. I’ve heard from students (and followers) how my openness made them feel less alone and that’s all we can ask of someone…to be seen.
