Gratitude for you &2025

Mother Nature closed out the year with a chilly, breathtaking sunrise. The waves churned, the wind carried salty spray through the air, and the flock arrived a little later than usual—ready, as always, for a good squeaky-clean reset. They said, “Self-care doesn’t stop just because it’s uncomfortable. It’s how we stay healthy, strong, and connected.”

As this year comes to a close, my heart is full of gratitude.Thank you to everyone who has shown up here—quietly or loudly—with kindness, encouragement, curiosity, and care. Thank you for sharing in these moments, these stories, and these connections with the animals who continue to teach me daily.

Thank you, 2025, for the lessons, the growth and healing.Thank you for the human connections, the animal encounters, and the simple magic found in standing still with nature.

As we step into 2026, my hope is to keep choosing presence, joy, and time outdoors—letting nature lead us back to what matters most.

With so much gratitude… thank you for being here.

My bird friend kept pushing my hat down. :). silly times to end the year.
