As the morning warmed up, steam began to rise off the lake, creating an amazing scene for sunrise at Sparks Lake. Getting here required a 4am wake up call after only 2-3 hours sleep coming off a packed 16 hour day. Part of me didn’t want to get up, but something @chrisburkard said the other day has burrowed its way into my brain. Creating something spectacular isn’t necessarily about being the best, it’s about willing to be uncomfortable, to put yourself where most people will not, to create something where others won’t go. That’s the mantra from here on out. Happy world photography day, and happy creating.
We’re hooooome! It was so important to me that our family fit in some rest time before the school year begins, and it felt so so good! A typical day at my parent’s house included slow mornings with walks around their property with coffee, throwing rocks in the river, and conversations on the deck. Then it was TOOOOOO THE BEACH, aka our happy place! The morning is always better because it’s less windy then ❤️ When the afternoon hits it’s quad rides, bug hunting, badminton 🏸, some Mario Cart on my childhood Nintendo 64, and more rock throwing into the river again 🥰 Tim didn’t get to surf this trip, but that’s ok, because we live so much closer now!

Although I could have stayed much longer, it was nice to hear Jaxon and Theo say how much they love our home—our Salem home! It makes my Mama heart happy knowing they are starting to enjoy it here!

We still have a busy month ahead, and I have so many exciting things happening with my Young Living team and business, so it’s time to make another cup of coffee and jump back into it! .

JESUS LOVES YOU!
Gorgeous Sunday hike.
One of the many many reasons I love living in the PNW.
I swapped my leg day at the gym with a 5 mile hike that had this view at the top. I’ll take it.
Also hikes are way more fun with friends and puppies. Thanks @jonolind for the awesome idea.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. #pinkcloudfitness#hike#PNW#fitness#outsideworkout
I have always wanted to feel at ease in my body but have never genuinely felt that way… but going plant based flipped a switch for me. ✨A new sense of calm took over and with time, I realized that if I treated myself right via food/rest/self love that my body was capable of just about anything!

Looking back on these pictures and seeing how genuinely happy and at ease I was climbing up this 60 ft rock with my bare hands blows my mind. This is the healthiest I have ever felt .. and I am only 5 years into living this way! 🙌🏽What is the most extreme sport you have ever tried? I think this one definitely takes the cake for me. Rock climbing is NO joke. My arms were sore for days afterwards 😂 in places I didn’t even know were possible to be sore!

At least 25 years ago I went to this place in Vegas called Fly Away where you could indoor sky dive over a DC10 engine. Kinda scary, but so fun! Then there was this time a few years later when I actually jumped out of an airplane, which was also kinda scary but fun!
On Saturday my wonderful spouse took me flying again for our 15th anniversary!
The staff at @iflyportland was cautious of my rebuilt shoulder and so was I. We were afraid it might dislocate with the forces put on it by the wind in the tunnel. I got a bit of extra instruction about what to do if it did. I am elated to report that @_nancymd is the awesomest ortho surgeon around and my shoulder was fine! I got to fly again and I am deeply grateful to Bart for this wonderful gift and to Dr. Shipley for being so good at her job 💛💖💛

Well, this summer just flew by.😭
As we are heading into the fall and that back to school season, I thought I'd share the kiddos' wellness routine.
This could get long. Fair warning.😂We are big on #prevention over here and maintaining healthy bodies rather than waiting until something knocks us out to deal with it. .
The kids each take a daily whole-foods based multivitamin, chewable probiotic, 1tsp of cod liver oil, and a chewable vitamin C tablet. We also use our amazing therapeutic grade essential oils in all parts of our lives, especially in our wellness routines! 💪💪💪
.
We switch up our brands of supplements on occasion but the one thing I always look for in a multivitamin is that is sourced from whole-foods vs synthetic chemically created sources. Our vitamins aren't supposed to be just isolated nutrients. Whole food nutrients work together to give the body the best and to make sure it aids in the best absorption of vitamins.
.
Probiotics are live bacterias and yeast that are good for our digestive system and gut health. Gut health is SO important and determines the health of the rest of our bodies. Eczema, alzheimers, autism, various autoimmune disorders, etc all stem from bad/lacking gut health. Prescription pills and antibiotics strip our gut health. Vaccines strip our/babies gut health. Bad diets, processed foods, and GMOs strip our gut health. Bath and beauty products with synthetic chemicals and toxins strip our gut health. If I had to only focus in one thing in our prevention of illness, it is our gut health.
.
Cod Liver Oil is my choice for getting in our good fatty omega fats because it is also quite high in Vitamins A&D. We care about keeping our brains in tip top shape.👌
.
Vitamin C is a supplement we ALWAYS have on hand but honestly don't take it everyday. We up it in "sick" seasons or when hanging out with a lot of other kids. I love Young Living's Super C because my husband, kids, and myself can all take it. It tastes good and is enhanced with rutin, citrus bioflavinoids and minerals to balance electrolytes and enhance effectiveness and absorption of Vit C. .
And of course Thieves essential oil to top it all off and keep us healthy!💕

“Air woman. You feel like freedom. Like the breaking open of the skies and the pouring of the rain, until we are on our knees screaming with life. Queen of the clouds - you feel like freedom, the kind we’d sell our entire lives for.” - @thebrookesolis 🕊⚡️ #libra
I look dumb but my bestfriend takes amazing photos.
Kayaking with friends was the perfect way to end my day yesterday after work. It was such a peaceful and relaxing evening 😌 And we had a bear hangout with us for part of it!😬
Pretty #satisfying to have these four clouds all together in a perfect square! Also I am loving this 12” x 12” size lately. Which one is your favorite?!
Daydreaming about boating & floating in the Columbia yesterday. 🚤
Two years married to the love of my life!💕
