  • Shelter

    Peace isn’t always found in grand places.

    Sometimes it’s a small shelter, a familiar view, and knowing you’re safe enough to watch the world instead of run from it—learning that not every battle has to be fought.

  • Winter

    Winter always feels like nature’s way of pressing pause, giving us time to reflect and recharge. In these quieter moments, I’ve discovered that the warmth of past adventures, heartfelt connections, and cherished memories bring a little sunshine to my snowy days. So even when the world outside is a blanket of white, I remind myself there’s always a bit of summer within me, waiting to shine through.

  • Magic days

    The trees droop laden with the innocence of snow. Footprints lead the way to somewhere you want to go. While the season chills us we still wander through magic days. Enjoy. -Mandy Ricks

  • Hope

    Sometimes, against all odds, all logic, we still hope.

    That’s what the holidays are all about: hope.

  • Find the Wild

    Find the wild

    Listen quietly to the sound of the wilderness

    Trees rustling

    birds chirping

    the breeze whispering.

    Breathe all of it in and you will feel like the wisest of us all.
