time & movement in nature 🌱

after 6 months of traveling and house/dog sitting internationally, we are back in the States for another housesit. luckily, where we are staying in situated on 800 acres in beautiful Colorado- there’s space to breathe. space to feel alive. space to be. getting back into a culture where there’s a lot of hustle and bustle, I’m having to really be intentional with my mental and physical energy. these flowers on the land make me smile and bring me a sense of peace. a reminder to focus on the stillness and beauty within each moment. ✨

a pretty dreamy place to wake up and be creative. spending 3 nights a family members boat in Maine and there’s nothing like waking up in the middle of the ocean. so much energy. so much peace. taking time to be creative is healing to the soul. 🎨 🌸 🌊

when your husband says, “let’s go on a walk and get some sun before we’re on an airplane all day”…. 🥰

curious if anyone has read “Fiat Food” by Matthew Lysiak? 🥩 🥚🧈

I just love a pretty sunset. 🌅✨🤍

we’re in Vienna, Austria and saw earlier this week on the @BTC Map that a restaurant close by accepted Bitcoin. we’ve been thinking about this all week. this moment to take part in making Bitcoin a market of exchange- being a part of the change. when Brett came to me a few months ago and told me about Bitcoin, my first question was, “Yea but how do you use it?”. I had doubts. I wasn’t sure it was “usable”. seeing it in action tonight is something I’ll never forget. using Bitcoin is real and possible. (oh, and the burger was pretty amazing. 🍔) @Brett

first picture: me in 2022. my last day of my teaching career after putting in 5 years of hard work. 5 years of endless IEP meetings, feeling stuck inside buildings, holding stress from administration and parents, & never feeling like I was doing what I was meant to do. I was told in college, “You should just be a teacher so you can have summers off to be with your kids”. this was the narrative I believed and chose to move forward with. fast forward to me today: I don’t have kids, I live out of two backpacks, I don’t own my own house or car, I travel the world with my husband caring for other people’s homes and pets, & my passion for opting out of the system is stronger than ever. it’s funny to look back and realize that I always had a deep-down feeling that something was off, that something wasn’t right… I just couldn’t see it at the time. I think past me would be really proud of today me. 🤍 #optoutoptin #lovethejourney

the first thing I do when waking up is: ✨open the windows ✨fluff the sheets and comforter ✨let all the light and breeze in sunlight and fresh air rejuvenates and brings energy into indoor spaces. the closer we can be to nature, the better. 🌿🦋☀️

when my husband first came to me and mentioned he was orange pilled, I thought he was losing his mind. 5 months later and I’ve definitely been #orangepilled. so thankful to be losing our minds together. ;)

grounding and getting sunshine listening to @Jeff Booth on What Bitcoin Did. what a good feeling it is that time is not being wasted when learning about Bitcoin. “Most people are spending their time complaining about the current system while it’s getting stronger. Instead, all they have to do is move their time to Bitcoin and they’re repricing all of the current system”.

as I’m stepping more into this online space, I’m really reflecting on value and conviction. instead of following fads and mindlessly getting stuck in the scroll, I’m finding myself looking in to see the world outside of me. thanks @primal for creating this amazing tool to help create a better world. here’s to more mindful, intentional living. 🌿🦋🐄☀️🪲🤍✨

we’re currently in Austria pet sitting this sweet girl, Ivy. we love watching for squirrels.

reality of house and pet sitting: sometimes you have to jump over the neighbors fence to get the dog from eating a hedgehog. sorry to the neighbors listening to us scream “Aus” in very bad German.
