Tomorrow, September 26th marks the annual holiday to celebrate America’s public lands. Traditionally this is day where many gather to do service projects and support our public lands.
While we my not be gathering, we ask that we each do our part to get out and support our public lands.
As we celebrate and show our gratitude on National Public Lands Day, though, we cannot ignore the history of the land on which we recreate. Our newest blog "Tips to Build an Inclusive Outdoors: Start by Supporting Indigenous Communities" .
I encourage you to read this blog post for steps on how to learn more about our public lands and the people they were stolen from. Link in bio.
📷📍Ancestral lands of the Havasupai, Hopi, Hualapai, Kaibab, Moapa, Navaho, Paiute, Zuni, and Yavapai-Apache.
Today we were supposed to be gathering in Bend for our Escape... we postponed it to May 2021 (link in bio for more info). Our hearts are sad, but we found some joy in the memories from last year!

No sewing machine - No Problem!⠀
⠀
Because not everyone has a sewing machine and/or extra $$ to spare right now... we wanted to share this quick and easy way to make face masks using items you probably have in your outdoor kit.⠀
⠀
Materials needed:⠀
-> Buff or bandana⠀
-> 2 standard rubber bands⠀
-> 2 small rubber bands⠀
⠀
Instructions:⠀
-> Fold Buff into 3rds⠀
-> Slide regular rubber band over one end of buff⠀
-> Fold buff end over rubberband (adjust amount to determine width)⠀
-> Secure with small rubber band⠀
-> Repeat on other side⠀
-> Use rubber bands to secure over ears.⠀
⠀
Easy Peasy.
Check back soon for a buff giveaway announcement!⠀
Full disclosure... we did not come up with this idea but wanted to share it when we saw it. Thanks @ourayicepark for the inspiration.
Happy New Year’s sisters and friends.

This past decade was one of deep discovery, random paths, big race goals accomplished, mountain summits, desert wanderings, healing oceans, beginnings, ends, high highs and low lows. A decade of leaving my 30s behind and embracing my 40’s. Almost all of these experiences happened with other people... friends, family, colleagues, strangers, students, teachers, mentors... this is what made this decade so remarkable. For me it is never just the experience, but the people I have met along the way that continue to shape and inspire who I am. If our paths have crossed... thank you. Know that as I reflect on this decade you are there and I am grateful for you and how you helped me grow.
✨
I have to say...as I stand here ready to step away from this past decade... I am so excited to charge into the next one! I am excited to continue building this community and following my passion of getting women outdoors. I can’t wait to see what is next... there are so many people that I have yet to meet that will become part of this journey. So many experiences that will continue to shape who I am.
I am excited to discover what my 40’s and 50’s will look like. I’m pretty sure the fact that I will bring in the New Year wearing 🦄 leggings mean that there is magic ahead!
✨
Let’s find the magic together!

This past year has given me so much to be thankful for that honestly I find it a bit overwhelming at times. 🍁I’m thankful for all the new people that have come into my life this year, those who have made it so much richer, those who have helped me grow as a person, and for each of you in the AdventurUs Women community. 🍁I’m thankful for the friends that were already there but stepped up and supported me in so many ways that I will be forever grateful. 🍁I’m thankful for making the time to see an old friend who was sick so I could reflect back on our time together when he passed. 🍁I’m thankful for all the beautiful places I’ve experienced both close to home and far away... places that fill my soul and center me. 🍁I’m thankful for my friends that are family and my actual family for their love and unconditional support. 🍁I’m so thankful for my little family... my husband who made sure that AdventurUs Women became a reality and for little Betty with her endless puppy 🐶 kisses and companionship.
I’m always thankful for sunsets.
