Here we are again for another episode of WildWood Wanderings! On a recent walk through the woods, on cycle day 2, I came across a field of wildflowers struggling to live in this drought we are experiencing. I felt a deep kinship with these echinaceas, black eyed susans, and milkweeds, together, as we struggle amid this dry season. I was hesitant to take out my phone to record this episode, because...

Welcome back for another episode of WildWood Wanderings! In this episode, I am sharing some recent failures and how I am moving through them. It can be really defeating to set a goal and not be able to reach it.

Welcome to episode 3 of WildWood Wanderings! In this wandering, I am exploring what community means and reflecting on how community shows up in the forest.
