877 miles.   It occurred to me today that the days are getting much shorter and the season will soon change.  I idly wondered what kind of weather the upcoming months will bring.  Weather is not taken lightly when we are walking through it.  Yet, at this point, what weather have we not walked through?  The rhythm of the seasons, while it influences the type of shoes we will wear, does not keep us from the dance.  Rather, shows us how to bend and sway in more graceful ways.
For that, I am grateful.

849 miles under our belt!  Wow! and also, thank goodness for the kindness of friends that happen to be going our way.  Some days are tough.  Some days you just have to have groceries and can't physically make it happen in the time that is given.  Most of the time, I just grin and bear the loss of  food but sometimes I just have to bite my ego and ask for a ride to the store.  Have I failed when I do?  I don't think so.  The ultimate goal is being completely aware and conscious of every choice we make.  We do what we can and sometimes we can't do it alone.   Those days go more smoothly when I willingly admit, I need help.  Cheers to the courage to ask for it.

Today we have been walking for exactly 35 weeks. 820 miles.  That's amazing.  Lately, we have taken some trips by sharing rides with friends.  It's a win win. Shared expense, company and our sweet planet is grateful that at least two family's are taking a car off the road ;)
Posts have been a bit spotty lately but I promise to resume as frequently as I can.  Sometimes you just have to walk away from the computer.
Be well friends.

761 Miles!  Honestly, it feels so easeful at this point.  We have actually been tossing around the idea of continuing after our year is up.  I know, crazy right!  It's just that we seem to have moved into a pattern that works.  It's not always easy.  Probably the hardest part at this point is when we need groceries like fresh produce and I am too tired to get it.  My life is so physical and the thought of going out again to get some romaine feels impossible.  But maybe I live in a world where the easy has been too readily available for far too long.  Maybe it should be hard sometimes.  Maybe if it was harder our planet would be feeling better.  Our destiny might be brighter with a little more hardship.  I frankly, believe so.
Feel your truth.

Love, Shonna

742 miles of carbon free travel!  It is blistery hot out there on the road ways.  Trying to stay hydrated and in the shade!  Hope you are too:)
Here's a challenge for you this week.   Find one place to walk to this week and you drive to normally.  It might be faster than you think;)

Live lightly.
