Body Biology

At this very moment in time, nothing seems to matter besides our health, safety, and our relationships with loved ones.

As a massive wildfire is engulfing the place where I grew up, people are fleeing from their homes, patients are being transferred to nearby hospitals, and people are nervously trying to escape.

When catastrophes like this strike, it makes you reconsider all of your misplaced priorities.

Last night, I almost skipped putting my son to bed so I could finish adding my grocery items to my online cart. I had to stop and say to myself, “I can do this after he goes to bed. I never want to take these little moments for granted.” So I put down my phone and gave both my kids extra love last night.

It’s unfortunate that sometimes it takes tragedy to get us to realign what is important. If you are in a mental place where things seem hard right, I encourage you to count all of the things that you are grateful for.

Please pray for the evacuees of the Caldor Fire and for the safety of the firefighters working diligently to keep people and structures safe.

☀️ Soaking up the last days of summer 🌴

Usually I’m excited for summer to end, but this year I want to drag summer out just a 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 bit longer.

Nothing says summer like 100° weather, pool time, and palm trees, am I right?

I’d love to know your favorite memory from this summer. Drop it in the comments below!
