I was thinking I wanted a ridiculously expensive side-by-side to get around the ranch someday when my dad said to me, “who needs a side-by-side when we have the Baby Jeep!” Which is what we call our 1951 Jeep Willy. Then we decided to take a ride in the Baby Jeep to check out where the elk like to hang out and I was sold that this 73 your old Jeep can really get us anywhere and it’s just super cool to drive! 🤣

Change is hard, even when it’s to follow your dreams. It’s been a rough few days, I’ve been missing my people, trying to build new connections, figuring out my new routine and where to start with all of this. But instead of wallowing in it I decided to go to my favorite spot on the ranch for a little perspective 🫶🏼

When the world feels chaotic, even scary, sometime

When the world feels chaotic, even scary, sometimes I just need to find balance! ✨My favorite way to do this is grounding, to walk barefoot and wiggle my toes in the grass. 🧘🏼‍♀️ Sometimes I meditate, but usually I just wiggle my toes in the grass and find gratitude in the beauty around me. ♥️

Grounding, aka Earthing, is the process of physically connecting to the earth’s surface. 🌎 Grounding has proven to reduce stress, inflammation, pain, and improve sleep to name a few. Most importantly it is easily accessible and free!

How do you find balance?
