Surviving (NOT Thriving) | Adventurous Homebody Club

Hello friends,

1. I hope this newsletter finds you noticing little signs of spring! With the equinox this week, I thought I’d have more clarity on my goals for the year – but honestly? I don’t. Not even a little. 🤪

2. With everything happening in the U.S., it’s hard to think beyond the week ahead. It feels like so much of what we love is at risk – from our public lands to our education system to the rights and safety of our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ friends, etc… It’s overwhelming, heartbreaking, and heavy. How can I possibly plan past this week??

Psst! Consider taking 5 minutes to call your representatives and speak up for our public lands! I added a script you can reference to support our national parks and another script for the proposed logging of our forests.

3. Someone recently asked me how I balance joy with everything happening. I keep coming back to gratitude. Because if I’m not careful, I’ll overlook the good – the safe home, the loving partner, the friends I trust, the privilege of an able body – and let fear pull me down, down, down.

So, every morning, the second I open my eyes, I name five things I’m grateful for! And when anxiety starts creeping in, threatening to paralyze me, I return to gratitude. And I go outside. I believe gratitude and time spent connecting with nature will carry us through the next four years.
