“i'd finally come to understand what it had been: a yearning for a way out, when actually what I had wanted to find was a way in”
Wild.
Cheryl Strayed—one of my favorite authors—wrote the life-changing read Wild about her trek across the Pacific Crest Trail.
Nature has always been one of my greatest healers. I believe that nature's healing powers can be used for each of us as a practice to better ourselves. The outdoors allows me to see the magic in my life again when I'm feeling lost. It reignites the desire I have for living. It allows me to realize I am here for a purpose.
A life goal of mine is to visit all of the National Parks in the U.S. Also, to check out as many hikes as possible in and around the Nashville area.
