I found me!

What I found out was that I do not give into things easily, I am stubborn and I am strong. When I was a kid, these attributes were not very much appreciated, but they are serving me well now, LOL ☠

I have been walking a little here and there and taking pictures everywhere...I think this is my "thing", my "make me happy", my "passion". I feel whole when I am in nature with my camera and dog.

Here are the latest pictures from my walks...

The view from my Mom's front yard, she also have a walking trail right outside her house!

 

The view from my Mom's front yard, but on a different day.

Me and Pup enjoying the sun on Summer Solstice ☼

I am pretty sure Pup and I are not supposed to be here, but so glad we are! ☮

Love this shot, this is one of the moments where I feel whole. ☯

Me and the sun, it is a beautiful thing :)

Anyone know what this is? It is a cool plant? It has flowers in the Spring that turn to these sticker things in the Summer.

Well that is all we have for now folks! Thanks for reading, love and light! 

 

SNOW!

There is no better motivator for me to get up and go outside then snow! Not sure if my love of it comes from my Norwegian roots, being born during a major snow storm or if it is the kid in me that I refuse to let go of but I love it! The more snow the better ♥

Alyssa made a snow heart for me!

Playing in the snow! Took the sled on our walk today and had a bunch of fun...my dog is obsessed with snow and likes to have it thrown or kicked into her face. She is a maniac!

Hearts are everywhere, you just have to look!

Myself, enjoying the snow

We saw this on our driveway at the end of our walk...told you, hearts are everywhere ♥

 My heart is full now! Here is some random snow pictures...

Can you see the heart?

How about now?

Snowy Oak

Dramatic contrast...much more dramatic in person but still cool in photo.

Good Morning Nevada County! Sunrise after the snow storm...

The morning after a snow storm is one of my most favorite times in Nevada County.

Another Snowy Oak

I just loved this scene and decided to capture it.

 Hope you enjoyed, until next time I be walking :)

P.S. I have been gathering things for a basket that I hope to giveaway soon. This basket will be full of items to promote healthy living! Stay tuned...

We needed this!

Just me, Pup and woods...nothing but forest ♥

I really pushed myself today. So hard I found my self grunting and moaning and screaming! My dog is such an inspiration for me, I sware!

We took the big hill at the end of the walk today, rather than at the begining. Holy cow, I felt the burn and it felt good ;)

In the beginning of the hill I could not get Pup to slow down and go my pace. She was a consistent 8 feet ahead of me until she reached the top and stopped. I think that she knew I was gonna leash her and have her help me up the hill, smarty pants! Towards the end she decided to come down and leash up. She guided me the rest of the way and made me push myself as I did not want to tug her to hard; hence the screaming at the top of the hill, I thought I was gonna keel over.

When we got home I got caught up on all of the tummy exercises for Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of  Dr. Oz's 7 Day Belly Workout. My lower back is popping and tender on some of them, but I am hoping that will all change as weight is lost.

I made an appointment to get the heart monitor put on next week. I am nervous, but hopeful that all I need to do is get healthier and that there is nothing wrong. Time shall tell...

Love and light and thank you so much for reading! I want you to know I appreciate it!
