Yosemite

"Taking refuge does not mean hiding from life. It means finding a place of strength, the capacity to live the life we have been given with greater courage and sometimes even with gratitude."  |  Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, My Grandfather's Blessings, p. 164

My life has been in chaos as of late and I just needed to get out. I am thankful for my lovely and spontaneous friends, who were just as delighted as I was to be outdoors in the rain all weekend (we hiked with umbrellas, a first for all of us and not for the faint of heart). It was our first visit to Yosemite National Park and it was beyond wonderful and it will certainly not be my last.

Just wanted to share a couple of Yosemite photos to say things are looking up. xo.
