“When you feel life coming down on you like a heavy weight,
When you feel this crazy society adding to the strain,
Take a stroll to the nearest water’s edge, remember your place,
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came,
So which way is the wind blowing?
What does your heart say?”
~Xavier Rudd
Sometimes, the water fixes somethings.🙏🏼😊
I’m excited to head to the cold mountain water’s edge for the Saltwater Mountain MINI RETREAT on Aug 23rd! This MINI retreat is full. Registrants will hear from me this week with itinerary reminders. 🥳
Our November weekend retreat registration will be up on our website this week! Early (Venmo) sign-up is available now. Text (207-641-7353) or DM here with interest and I’ll send you all the details.

What’s behind door number 3? Felt like maybe Narnia, but just a 3rd bathroom. Only took me 20-something years to notice it! 🤣💃🏿 A perfect spontaneous summer dip tonight - kind of Narnia-like. 🤩🙏🏼

“In those two minutes, you ask yourself existential questions about what time even is, what a body even is, what a feeling even is. It’s just a sensation, right? But knowing that pain — and there is pain — is just a sensation does not help you right now because that took three seconds to figure out and you still have a wild wagon-train trip to California to go.
Did you mention that there’s a man with a ukulele there? He appears to work for this cold-plunge outfit, and he is wearing that dumb hat and quietly strumming — is that? — Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”? You love that song and have never enjoyed it less. Your hatred for this man only buys seven or eight more seconds, and as you cast your mind about, looking for something else to get you through, a strange thing happens.”
🤣🤣
It’s nice to read a nice article all the way to the end. This part made me laugh.

I resisted the trend until I couldn’t any longer.
