🎉 Celebrating 10 years of fluff, unconditional love and nonstop talking with Katara. ⁣⁣

We woke up to snow today, which is kind of perfect for her birthday! She’s a little crankier in her old age but the howls and fluff remain. 💖💖💖⁣⁣

No, hobbits don’t live here. 🤦‍♀️⁣
When I first moved to SLC, I learned about this rumor / local lore that a community of hobbits existed. It’s not true! ⁣
It’s actually a piece of property that Dr. George Allen turned into a sanctuary for birds (& people who wanted a break from the city). When a developer purchased the property and kicked the renters out, the local community asked SLC to purchase the property and save this little nugget of nature. 🌲🦚 🎨⁣
The city is in the process of turning it into a public park and I am excited to see it when they’re done. This is what happens when you stand up for your community and talk to your local mayor and city council members! 🤓⁣

When was the last time you put your phone down? ⁣
This year I have worked on my screen time by turning off notifications and uninstalling sm when I need to focus. This allowed me to make time to do things I enjoy, like ride my bike and walk with my dog in new places. Treat yo self in the way you want — it doesn’t always mean spending money. 😎⁣

K, the last one was a funny but I kind of had to considering how crazy people went for toilet paper! 🤪 One thing I’ve done this year is write out what I’m grateful for in my planner every week. Focusing on the good helps you feel a little bit better when the world around you looks like a dumpster fire. ⁣

It’s just me, my dog, and that sweet sweet mountain air. Breaks from media, smog (and ppl) is greatly needed right now. 😎⁣

😎 I’m starting to feel better again. I’ve gone through a long journey with my health (& it’s not over, it’s life long for everyone) so I can try to live a long life. I’m able to walk without instant pain, which is a good sign! I’m working on the Joe Dispenza mindset so I can live without pain. He helped a family friend so I am invested because she saw great results. His meditations make me laugh for some reason but overall I like his work. ⁣

🌲 I hiked to Stewart Falls, which near Sundance Resort in Utah. It was so pretty and lovely. I haven’t been out much since the COVID-19 pandemic, but I took my mask with a filter for the chairlift and for peace of mind. 😷 Everyone was very respectful of my mask, I really appreciated it. I took my mask off when I was hiking since no one was around, and put it back on once I got back to the resort. Easy peasy!⁣
⁣
🥾 The hike to Stewart Falls is very pretty and I recommend the chairlift option, as you get some great views. But you can always hike from another trailhead at a parking lot if you don’t want to visit the resort or pay for a lift ticket. ⁣
⁣
Here’s to more outdoor adventures and living life with a smile! ...Even if you can’t tell when wearing a mask 😉⁣

🐬 Today I am advocating for Empty the Tanks Wor

🐬 Today I am advocating for Empty the Tanks Worldwide 2020 on behalf of captive cetaceans. Why should you care? Well, there are many reasons but here is mine: ⁣
⁣
I was fascinated with marine life as a little girl 🤓 and was so excited when I went on vacation to San Diego where I could visit Sea World (and see real marine life in person!). I went to Sea World's Orca and Dolphin show, where they tried to sell us the idea that these cetaceans "liked to perform" and immediately saw through the lies. 😞⁣
⁣
Little Laurel made eye contact with one of the dolphins in a tank and started crying because she knew immiediatly they did not deserve to be held captive in a concrete tank. 😢 "How are they able to use their eco location if it just bounces off the walls?" None of the trainer's answers satisfied me. I would rather swim in the vast beautiful ocean than a small pool the rest of my life. Why would they want to be stuck in a tank?⁣
⁣
My mom tried to console me at the exit of the show as I cried about how the dolphins needed to be in the ocean & free, and families leaving the show stared as they walked by. That was the day I decided that all dolphins and orcas (all marine life really) deserved to swim in a straight line as far as they wanted, instead of being confined in a pool. 🦸‍♀️🦹‍♀️⁣
⁣
During these times that you feel traped in your home, I urge you to remember this: Your captivity is temporary. Theirs isn't. ⁣
⁣
Ways you can help:⁣
🐬 Watch films like Blackfish, The Cove, A Fall From Freedom, & Born to Be Free. ⁣
🐬 Chose an activity that does not include any swim with dolphin facilities. If you refuse to buy tickets to dolphin shows, they will ultimatly close when the profit is no longer there.⁣
🐬 Attend educational events outside of marine parks like SeaWorld. Do not visit any marine park or aquarium that houses captive cetaceans. ⁣
🐬 TAKE THE PLEDGE not to support dolphin captivity!⁣
🐬 Make a $5 donation to support the Bali Dolphin Sanctuary.⁣

🐦 Every winter season there’s a day where birds go crazy in my neighborhood. I don’t know what they do, or why, but they are really loud and fly from branch to branch. It usually snows here shortly after.⁣
⁣
It’s probably why Alfred Hitchcock made that bird movie. 🎥 🔪🔪🔪⁣
