Not really a Valentines Day kind of gal but I love

Not really a Valentines Day kind of gal but I love this dude with my whole heart ♥️

Also since I didn’t know Max’s official February birthdate, we decided to make it February 14th so Happy 9th Birthday to my best friend.

My milk comes from a cow (mug), but not an actual cow (or any other animal)!

Before I was vegan, I drank a lot of dairy milk. I mean, a lot. When I went vegan, I didn't have a problem with finding plant-based milk, but I also didn't feel like I found any I loved to just drink.

Drinking it and being satisfied with it in my cereal were two different things. (#AD) So, it's always exciting about new plant-based companies and products!

I just found out about The Not Company's (@notcous) NotMilk™. Whether in my daily coffee, overnight oats, or just to enjoy a glass of milk, it definitely passes my test!

You can grab NotMilk™ at Whole Foods in either whole or 2% (I'm a 2%-er!). #NotaDiet #Sponsored

“When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame

“When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” - @amandascgorman

Today was a good day. Plain and simple. And, Amanda Gorman was astounding.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds but for now, I’m just going to enjoy today.

Despite 2020 being a year of not much movement, I did manage to get my Advanced PADI Cert.

Now I only hope that 2021 will allow me the chance to put it to use!

I’m making a list of diving locations that won’t require much driving.

So far, I’ve got:

Bonne Terre Mine in Missouri
Pennyroyal Quarry in Kentucky (where I got my certification)

Anyone know of any others within driving distance of TN (except for FL as I have most of those on my list).

How diverse is your bookshelf? 📖 Decolonizing

How diverse is your bookshelf?
📖
Decolonizing your bookshelf is an important step to take to become a more conscious and informed traveler – it helps us to navigate our personal identity and privilege as we explore our world and intersect with histories and systems that extend far beyond our lifetime.
📖
Decolonizing your bookshelf is about asking readers to actively resist colonialist notions within narrative, storytelling, and literature. This includes the tendency to prize and acknowledge certain types of authors and narratives over others. It is about reassessing your entire understanding of the literary canon. This history also means that non-white readers have had to process stories and historical events through a white author’s lens.
📖
Read the rest of my article on @impacttravelalliance about decolonizing your bookshelf.

We finally made it to The Shire (or at least the one less than an hour from Nashville - @forestgully)

What an amazing little getaway and sanctuary this place is. I’ll be writing a full post on the blog soon with all the details!

Have you ever stayed in a hobbit hole or LOTR themed accommodation?!
