Hi nostr! I recently started writing a substack about my #running, new #carnivore lifestyle, and #faith journey. Here is the intro post:

The Journey Begins

Heartfelt writing on apprenticing to Jesus through my experiences trail running and in the everyday, accompanied by my own nature photography.

#runstr

A stream of leaves. There's water under there, I swear. 🍂 Fall is the best. 😊 #grownostr #fall #photography #nature

Happy Halloween, nostriches! #halloween #grownostr

A shower of leaves! I love fall. The colors slowly, slowly build and then it seems like - poof! - the leaves are all on the ground. A reminder of the transience of all things on this beautiful Earth. Appreciate every precious day, my friends. ❤ #grownostr #nature #fall

Fall in the woods. Grateful. #grownostr #photography #nature #fallfeels

Good morning, nostriches. Been talking a lot of morning walks lately to enjoy the fall air and morning light, as I ease back into running after a major trail race where I sustained a minor injury. (But I had a great race on a tough course in tough conditions, so no regrets!) Today's gems: #morningwalk #morninglight #naturephotos #grownostr

A sneak peek at fall. Light on a stump draws my eyes. Good start to the day. #runstr #grownostr #haiku

Mistflower. Appeared as a volunteer in my native perennial bed a few years ago and has been slowly spreading. A pretty addition and good late summer nutrition for the insects! 🐝 #grownostr #gardening #nativeplants

Good morning nostriches! Riding high this a.m. 😁 There's just something about hitting the trails at sunrise on a Wednesday to bust out some hill repeats that makes you feel like a badass and gets the day off to a good start. 😁 I highly recommend it! Wishing you all a beautiful day! Pic from the cooldown...such lovely dappled light! #runstr #grownostr #morninglight

Amazing how much the light changes in a couple of morning hours...here's pics from my first and second pass on the same bridge during today's trail run. A reminder to be present bc "you never cross the same bridge twice." Or something like that? 😄 Enjoy the day, nostriches! #grownostr #runstr #morninglight

From today's trail run/hike...so grateful to be in such a beautiful place on such a beautiful day! Now off to the farmers market! #grownostr #runstr

Latest stop on vacation...beautiful pond on a friend's property. After visiting three friends at rural properties, definitely seeing the perks.... #grownostr #dreams

Nothing like picking fresh homegrown blueberries right off the bush after a hilly run in crisp Vermont summer air! Time for some coffee and to enjoy the view! #runstr #coffeechain #grownostr

Evening at the lake after a day with friends. My heart is full. ❤ #grownostr #goodlife #gratitude

Cheerful zinnias to help you relax this evening - or wake up, depending where you are in the world! #grownostr #gardening

Headed out again to spend quality time with friends and family on five stops in three states in less than two weeks! New England summer weather is sounding amazing after the last couple weeks of humidity and heat at home "below the Mason Dixon Line," as my mom for some reason likes to remind me. 🤷‍♀️ Plus, here's a stream from my latest trail run for your enjoyment! #runstr #grownostr #travel #qualitytime

Hello, milkweed tussock moth caterpillar! 😁 #grownostr #gardening

Welcome to my garden, little one! 😊😁 #grownostr #gardening

Obedient Plant blooms well on the way! I love watching my garden go through the seasons. 🌸🌱 #grownostr #gardening #nativeplants

GM Nostr! Yin yang eggs, totally unintentional. 🍳 A reminder to find balance in our lives. As my junior high principal said every morning, "Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours." Go get 'em, nostriches! 😁 #grownostr #powerofpositivity
