Early mornings in Waimea Canyon. Are you a morning person OR a night owl? I’m 100% early morning🙋🏼‍♀️❤️ My ultimate goal is to be at peace with myself, eliminate toxic feelings, elements and energies from my life, unlearn negative and harmful practices and thought patterns. To stop checking for people that don’t check for me, create a space for myself that is nurturing for growth so that I may generate loving energy for myself and others, nourish my spirit and balance my energies. I have big dreams and I deserve to live a life I love and let that love radiate - Via The Minds Journal #freshairandfreedom
HUMAN CONNECTION: ‘Be so happy that when others look at you, they become happy too’. I am a very personable person and always find myself making conversation with others, no matter where I am. Whether it’s on a hiking trail, in a line at a grocery store, on the street, in the airport, anywhere. If someone is wearing a name tag, I actual use their name (I know crazy right). If I like someone outfit, hair, tattoo etc. I tell them, if someone looks like they need a pick me up, I smile and ask how their days going. The smallest engagement or compliment can go a FAR far way, and you also never know what will come from that encounter 🤷🏼‍♀️. I love networking, human connection and hearing pieces of people’s ‘stories’. I definitely get this character trait from my father, who is a social butterfly. It can sometimes make those with me uncomfortable, ‘Oh there she goes again making convo with strangers’, but I don’t mind one bit lol. It’s so easy these days with cellphones (and yes I’m guilty too), too lower that engagement with others as we all seem to be very attached to our phones. It makes me sad to see those going through grocery lines and instead of engaging with the cashier who’s bagging their groceries, on their phone not paying attention. Maybe that’s just me. Does anyone else love making conversation with others when they are ‘out and about!? Would love to hear your thoughts on it #freshairandfreedom
CHEESEEEE. If you haven’t been to Kauai you should add it to your list 🙋🏼‍♀️ I have my blog ‘Keen on Kauai’ linked in my bio and will be doing another one from our previous trip. I’ve been twice now and unfortunately both times the North shore has been closed. A couple weeks before we went last year there was major flood damage done to Napali Coast (pictured behind me), and since then it’s been under restoration, set to open up again here in June. If I were to go back to Kauai again it would be to hike the Kalalau trail, a 22 mile out and back trail that runs from Ke’e beach to Kalalau beach on the North side. Who was fortunate enough to hike it before it closed? ❤️ @keencanada @gopro #freshairandfreedom
Who has been to Canyonlands National Park? It blew me away. I could’ve spent an entire day just admiring the vastness of the canyon. We were here two nights in a row - first we could barely stand due to the intense winds so quickly grabbed a couple photos and ran - but the next evening we took with us a blanket and some snacks and sat for two hours before the sun even set. It was the perfect way to end a long day of hiking! @eddiebauer #liveyouradventure #whyihike #ebcontributor * * I am wearing the Downlight Stormdown Vest in the Peacock colour ❤️
FOLLOW UP POST: Bug bitten. Ocean blown. Scratched up. Sun burnt. Tired and sore from hiking and sleeping in a tent and in the car for the last two plus weeks. But filled with happiness and gratitude. Grateful that I get to travel and that my body allows me to do what it does. After yesterday’s post I received endless DM’s and comments and just want to say I did read every single one! I appreciate every word and the support you all have shown on here and those who reach out and are positive with their engagement on this platform. I try hard to be ‘real’ and show the ups and downs but it often seems like you can’t always win. You’re always going to have those who are quick to judge or react - Instagram should be a positive uplifting place and we all have the power to follow those who bring us joy and challenge our views and unfollow those who make us feel like less. After the post yesterday I lost quite a few followers and perhaps that has nothing to do with my words - but perhaps it did. This is meant to be a positive place and if you don’t agree with what I say or post feel free to click that unfollow button. Again thanks to ALL of you who continue to follow along on my adventures! Just touched down in Calgary and am SO excited to sleep in my own bed and do laundryyyyy and see my boys! @timber_tails @crp13 #freshairandfreedom
BODY TALK: I posted this photo on my story the other day and had a few responses saying ‘Happy to see body diversity on Instagram’ and I responded ‘What do you mean?’ They said ‘Well usually it’s girls with wide hips, tiny waists, big boobs, and just curvy, it’s nice to see someone with a body who’s more relatable - flat chest, flat butt’. I didn’t really know how to respond at first... and was a little hesitant but I feel like this is a good opportunity to speak on this topic. I didn’t know whether at first I was to take it as a compliment or not. I’ve never been ‘girly’ and never been any of the above... I’m pretty ‘boxey’ and I put in muscle super quickly. At one point I was doing CrossFit A LOT and one day someone told me ‘You have huge traps’, what did I do after that... welp I questioned doing CrossFit - and if I was too ‘manly’ so I added more running and less upper body training. I went from being a small skinny runner in college to a more muscular CrossFitter / ‘adventurer’ and it was hard to get use to the changes. Being a woman it’s tough with social media cause we are constantly comparing ourselves and being hard on our own selves but we can’t, cause we will live forever wishin’ we were different. Am I 100% comfortable in my own skin now? Mmmmm I wouldn’t say so. I wake up some days feeling good and others I wish I was built different, but this is the body I was given, so why not embrace it?We are all human - life would sure be boring if we were all the same #freshairandfreedom #bodytalk
Anyone else obsessed with ridges and heights? 🙋🏼‍♀️ This kind of thing fills my soul and puts the hugest smile on my face. I rarely get frightened by it, though on the other hand I am terrified of the ocean and waves - crazy how we are wired so differently! Tag someone who would do this! @gopro #kauai #awaawapuhi #glydergirl * * I took two pairs of hikers with me on this trip! The Mid Waterproof Terradora and the regular Terradora hiker. It was great to switch it up! @keencanada
Kauai I am kind of obsessed with you ❤️ We have hiked over 70kms so far in 4 days and excited for a couple more days of exploring!!!!! @ka.gnon Some people call me ‘crazy’ for wanting to do so much and hike or ‘workout’ on vacation but to me this is my type of vacay ✌🏼 We also have had our fair share of beach time - it’s just about getting up early and making the most out of every day!#freshairandfreedom #kauai
