Beauty along the Path

Most times, on hikes and in life, the destination is the top and we forget to look along the path. Sometimes that's were the true beauty lies.
On a recent hike I saw plants that looked like they had escaped the ocean floor.
The pattern in the bark of a tree.
A Newt that Aubree carried to the end of our hike.
If I wasn't looking down I would have missed the forest floor that was teaming with life under my feet. I find that I do that with my day to day life as well. I look forward to the next big thing, the weekend date night, the soccer game, the outing with friends instead of being present in my day to day life.
The other day Aubree and I were at the library. I sat on the couch while she played with a dollhouse. I was tempted to go on my phone and scroll but then I stopped and listened to her while she acted out her day. There was so much beauty in that small moment that it became the destination that I didn't know I needed.
Hey, thanks for the info Heather. It actually makes a lot of sense. Haven’t thought about that before. Looks like I’ll be adding a little salt and a little maple syrup!
A great all natural deodorant is made by Little Seed Farm. Honestly, it is the only natural deodorant that seems to actually work for me.
Great information Heather, I’ve been there too and just a side note for those gals (like me) who suffer sensitivities to chemicals, my savior was apple cider vinegar to “kill bacteria” after washing and then I used coconut oil rubbed in the pit area. I also added essential oils of lemongrass or geranium for a scent. The ACV was only as needed sometimes takes a few days to kill all bacteria causing smell and then daily with the coconut oil.
Thanks for sharing
Love this ❤️
We are definitely going to try out this recipe!
Great topic Heather! It's definitely one not talked about often and one that you just have to try to figure it out on your own, at least for me anyway.
