Got to spend a weekend in Tahoe with some friends so we could laugh, cry, and talk about our fears. On the way home I saw this gorgeous sunrise and two wolves in the wild. Just what my soul needed. ❤️

I wrote When Things Are Hard, Remember during an uncertain time in my life. Many of us and children may feel stress or uncertainty this week. I find books and writing help me during those times. I hope this may help you too #WhenThingsAreHardRemember @BeamingBooksMN @HodaAndJenna

Wrote 1000 words so I decided to take a walk while I prep for the next 1000. Not a bad view.
