Most people probably wouldn’t consider this a “break” being that it’s more work to live day to day than normal, but there’s something to be said about being alone in nature doing what you have to to get by with minimalist things. I mean I’m still car camping after all, but everyone I work with tells me I’m nuts for going off alone. I think they’re nuts for not…

Today I rode Fort Dickerson park. The climbs and trails were a bit more like home. I parked at Baker Creek though and caught a lap of Devil’s Racetrack to finish up. Now refueling with SoKno tacos, which are pretty damn tasty.

It was one hell of a ride including road, greenways, singletrack, and some double track. Tested a bit from most of the South Loop. After a beast 27 miles this Perpetual is hard earned, well deserved, and fucking delicious.

You may need a fiddle to challenge the devil in Georgia, but in Tennessee you will need a mountain bike 🤘🏼

When I'm in my body I feel better + I trust myself more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's how we're made. We have the gift of senses + sensation. Experiencing the world through our senses is incredibly healing on so many levels.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know how uncomfortable it can be to return to the body, to the senses after living years, decades in a disconnected state. It is new and unfamiliar, and it takes time and patience. Creating a safe, empathetic space for you to explore is deeply important to me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reward for working through the discomfort and coming home to yourself...- I don't even know how to begin to describe it to you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Wisdom lives in our bodies - come explore yours 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Opportunities to reconnect to your body, your wisdom + nature:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s hard to believe but September is here!

When exploring options for fall hikes don’t forget there are many resources out there to assist you in planning the perfect outdoor trek.

You may wish to check out the Tennessee State Park Hiking Page (all links in FLC’s bio). This page lists all of the state parks that offer hiking trails, including our local Seven Islands State Birding Park, at the bottom of the page.

This page also includes a link to geo-referenced PDF maps for several TN State Parks. These maps can show your exact position on a trail. When the map is opened using an app on your smart phone, a dot/reference point displays on the device's screen at your exact location. These maps use your GPS, not your cell signal, so they work even when you do not have service. As you move along the trail, the dot will move with you. The map will guide your way for as long as your device's battery works.

Here are a few regional resources to check out when planning your next hiking excursion (links in FLC’s bio):

He's NINE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kairos, his name speaks to Deep Time, soul time, the wiser than chronological time, Wisdom's time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He came here on his own time, chose us by some miraculous grace.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We grow continuously as he grows each trip around the sun.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is funny, sensitive, thoughtful, sweet, curious, brilliant, friendly, creative.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is a gift to us and to the world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am deeply humbled and thankful to be his Mother.
