I am so grateful for @suzdemps and @hannahgracepees ❤️ meeting them 3 years ago was a blessing in disguise at the time and one that I fully realize now. I’ve also realized the importance of community. I always idealized and idolized being 100% independent and being alone. That was my goal. But now I see the need for both community and independence and just how powerful having supportive and loving people in my life impacts my health and happiness. #friends #friendship #photography #memories #beach #flashback #gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYbaoVhtsj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l27w0wyj9v5d

First half of yoga teacher training down and the main lesson I’ve learned (although there have been many) is that you cannot pour from an empty cup. Once you find a way to take care of yourself, especially during a time when many people have become jaded by the idea of “self-care,” you find a way to help the world. When you work on yourself and make yourself more resilient to the turbulence of life, you add one more healthy and happy person to the world. Don’t be scared to prioritize your needs. It’ll only help. I’ve also been very lucky to experience this therapeutic yoga teacher training with one of the most supportive and inspiring group of people I’ve met! I am very grateful for having each and every one of you in my life. @soulcharleston #yoga #therapeutic #yogi #teacher #yogateacher #training #selfcare #mindfulness #meditation #life https://www.instagram.com/p/BqWKAP-BxfH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f4c77havrvt1

“Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying, ‘Our interests first, who cares about the others,’ we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what gives it grace and what is essential: its moral values." —French President Emmanuel Macron, Veteran’s Day 2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDo2WahhqF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uj9au3wo0lpn

Enough of this: “politics aren’t my thing,” “I’m not interested,” “what’s the point, it’s rigged anyways,” and “I don’t know who to vote for.” Get up, google what’s being voted on and go do your thang. . . . . . #vote (at City of Randleman) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkRhmhB6G9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13vmgssxrw4zn

Woke up this morning realizing how lucky I am to be surrounded by a group of beautiful people with big hearts, immense strength, a hopeful devotion and unconditional love and compassion. There are not enough words for me to describe how much I love all of you guys (and even more who are not pictured here); so, I’m just gonna put these pictures here to show off to everyone else how lucky I am because I haven’t done that enough. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” —Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 . . . . . . #love #friends #friendship #community #together https://www.instagram.com/p/BnY4B7mjIfC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mz1wu6v1yxgb

“The rain to the wind said, You push and I'll pelt.' They so smote the garden bed That the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged--though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.” —Robert Frost . . . . . #rain #poetry #words #blog #life #lifequotes #wordstoliveby #writing #literature #day #rainydays #rainyday (at Charleston, South Carolina)

Remind ourselves that for every ounce of tragedy there are pounds of happiness. For every sprinkling of hatred there are boundless amounts of kindness.

“The water it takes to produce the average American diet alone—approximately 1,000 gallons per person per day—is more than the global average water footprint of 900 gallons per person per day for diet, household use, transportation, energy and the consumption of material goods.” @natgeo TIPS: there are some really fascinating water footprint tools online to get an idea of how much water you use a day and A LOT of different ways you can start saving water—which will also save you $$. You can start with this National Geographic article (Link in bio) that gives info and tips on how to start saving water now!! . . . . . #sustainableliving #environment #sustainability #world #water #savetheplanet #climate #water #problems #are #local #beinformed #education #activism #nationalgeographic https://www.instagram.com/p/BmmJL-Tj-hp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g0eynxuw25hw
