Nature keeps me grounded, and makes me feel alive. The mountains are my church. I love hiking in the summer and fall. Nature inspires my work in many ways too. I love the changing of the seasons, and find new ways to romanticize the season I’m in. I’ve honestly never been a fan of the winter, so I look for ways to love it, like switching out my home decor, having my own little hygge ritual that includes tea and sometimes a little sweet treat like a muffin, cookie, or slice of cake in the afternoon to perk myself up. I even swap out my daughter’s books seasonally. I’ll settle for winter, because it means I get fall. Fall is my favorite, and without winter, there would be no fall.
