Mountains have a way of bringing the right people into your life. Celebrating International Mountain Day with memories of the connections made and the landscapes that touched my soul. 🏔️✨

One of the best things I found in 2025 (thanks to my coming back to Instagram and the algorithm) is Book it Around DC (@bookitaround ). It's an audiobook walking group that gets together about once a month and we all listen to our own audiobooks and walk.

I ended up going to 3 walks in 2025 and it was such a good way to get out of the house on the weekend and be around other book lovers. As an introvert, I love getting together with other people to do our own things so this has been perfect for that. In December we even had a social afterwards with cute little treats on a cold snowy magical day.

Thank you so much Kit & Morgan for starting this group! I can't wait to go on more walks this year!

Shoutout to the IG algorithm for bringing this audiobook walking group to my feed.
These past few months have been heavy and this walk was the reset I needed.
It reminded me of the book girl I was before motherhood and I miss her bad. Real bad.
Ended up walking a little over 4 miles without even realizing it.
Already looking forward to the next one 💜
