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). #wildhearted #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #scubalife #scubadive #scubagirl #scubadivinglife #girlswhoscuba #girlswhoscubadive #scubagirls #advancedscubadiver #padi #padidiver #paditv #paditravel

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. 📸: taken at @themohicans this past October. Look for a story on our stay later this week on my blog! #wildhearted #thisissustainable #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizeyourbookshelf #diversifyyourbookshelf #weneeddiversebooks #diversebooks #diversityandinclusion #diversitymatters #diversityisbeautiful #themohicans #bookstagram #hammocklife #hammocktime #hammock #visitohio #ohiophotographer #ohioexplored #ohiofindithere

Looking for a gift that keeps giving past the holidays? Consider a vegan subscription box, ranging from vegan makeup to vegan snacks that in price and length. And it doesn’t stop at gift giving. These are perfect to treat yourself to something new too. There’s nothing better than getting “good mail” is there?! This one is a @vegancuts beauty box! The Vegancuts Beauty Box offers four or more deluxe and full-sized vegan skincare products each month. Each product is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. https://wild-hearted.com/subscription-boxes-for-vegans/ #WildHearted #vegan #veganlife #vegansofig #veganism #veganlifestyle #vegancuts #vegancutsbeautybox #veganbeauty #veganbeautyproducts #veganbeautybox #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreecosmetics #crueltyfreeskincare #vegangifts #vegansubscriptionbox #vegansubscription #veganblogger

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?! #forestgullyfarms #forestgully #tennessee #tennesseelife #tennesseephotographer #tnvacation #tennesseephotography #tennesseegirl #hobbithouse #hobbithole #hobbiton #hobbitlife #theshire #lotr #lordoftherings #roadtrip #roadtriptennessee #tennesseelove #nashvilleexplorersclub #nashvillegetaway #thisissustainable #sustainabletravel #nashvillestaycation #staycation #instagramtennessee

Today is #Unthanksgiving and #TurkeyFreeThanksgivi

Today is #Unthanksgiving and #TurkeyFreeThanksgiving to me. I’m all about showing gratitude and spending time with family (although I made the difficult decision to not see family today), but I can’t celebrate the typical reason today is celebrated. My mind immediately goes to the 46 million turkeys slaughtered just for TODAY. Also, to the Indigenous people who continue to be marginalized. Unthanksgiving Day (also known as The Indigenous Peoples Sunrise Ceremony) is an event held on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay to honor the indigenous peoples of the Americas and promote their rights. #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2020 #thanksgivingday #unthanksgiving2020 #indigenouspeoplesday #indigenous #indigenouspeople #indigenouslivesmatter #indigneouspeoplesmovement #nativeamerican #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamericans #veganthanksgiving #turkeysofinstagram #turkeystagram #veganlife #vegansofig #vegancommunity #friendsnotfood #turkeysarefriendsnotfood

I voted and all I got was this sticker.... and hopefully - basic human rights
- a right to choose what to do with my body
- to not continue to drown in student debt
- to see BIPOC and LGBTQ+ no longer treated less than
- to not be afraid to need to go to the ER
- the list goes on... Here’s to hoping I have fingernails still come Wednesday. #ivoted #vote #vote2020 #voteblue2020 #votehimout #voteforchange #votevotevote #votelikeyourlifedependsonit #voteblue #votingmatters #votingrights #votingplan #election2020 #election #blacklivesmatter #humanrights #humanrightsactivist
