I love learning - discovering. The more I learn & discover, the more I’m thankful for. War, poverty, discrimination, so many social injustices, the fate of our earth ... so much to advocate for. I think we all need to take moments for what we are thankful for. Then be aware of how so many of those things we are thankful for so many don’t have. How do we change that? What actions can we take? How can we give back? How can I make a difference? Those are the questions. Often we might find ourselves thinking “I’m just one person, I can’t make a difference” But as the Dalai Lama says “you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tell me what are you thankful for⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tell me how you would like to make a difference in this world ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📸 @nolan.weisser ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Sweater made by @carolyn_munholland ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Yarn & pattern @loopslove
    • #Mood⁣ There must be some kind of way outta here⁣ Said the joker to the thief⁣ There's too much confusion⁣ I can't get no relief⁣ ⁣ Business men, they drink my wine⁣ Plowman dig my earth⁣ None were level on the mind⁣ Nobody up at his word⁣ Hey, hey⁣ ⁣ No reason to get excited⁣ The thief he kindly spoke⁣ There are many here among us⁣ Who feel that life is but a joke⁣ But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that⁣ And this is not our fate⁣ So let us stop talkin' falsely now⁣ The hour's getting late, hey⁣ ⁣ All along the watchtower⁣ Princes kept the view⁣ While all the women came and went⁣ Barefoot servants, too⁣ Outside in the cold distance ⁣ A wildcat did growl⁣ Two riders were approaching⁣ And the wind began to howl⁣ — @bobdylan (give me some @jimihendrix experience too) #musicthatgivesallthefeels⁣ ⁣ 📸 @nolan.weisser
    • Six years ago I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, chronic painful bladder, with lesions.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Six years ago I was at my absolute sickest.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣I could barely walk.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My parents had to help me in & out of bed.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My mom had to help me get on & off the toilet. She had to help me get in & out of the bathtub. She had to sit with me on floor when I had either fallen down from exhaustion or had passed out due to the severity of pain I was in. She held me and told me “you’re going to be ok”.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My dad went into a state of depression.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ After the loss of my older sister he couldn’t handle me being so sick.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I don’t blame him.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ He had been so incredibly strong for so long. The rock of the family. But this, this was too much.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ My family & friends were terrified.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Admittedly there were times I just wanted it all to end so the pain would stop.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I was in severe pain 24/7.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I would scream out.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I struggled with eating.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I was losing weight fast.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I lost 40 pounds in total.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ This picture shows me with 20 pounds gained.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Can you imagine me 20 pounds smaller than what I already am?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ It took me years to retrain my body to take in more food. My body became used to so little food that when I did start eating more my body would reject it. It was a slow process. I still don’t eat as much as what’s considered “normal”. But I’ve been able to maintain my current weight. Maintaining it without having to check my calories on a daily basis - which was fucking with my head.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Cannabis - combination of THC & CBD is what helped me to be able to eat.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣I don’t like talking about my weight unless it’s with my medical team, family, or close friends. People judge. I’ve been told “you’re too skinny”, “you need a hamburger” I’ve also had the opposite response of “I wish I had a disease that made me lose weight”, “not being able to gain weight - I would take that problem”. The things people say.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣But for the first time in a very long time I feel so fucking confident & in love with my body #interstitialcystitisawareness 💚

    • My next trip is in 10 days 😄 can’t wait!!! Going to take in some scenic views of Arizona & New Mexico on my way to my home state of Oklahoma. So excited see the changing of the leaves 🍁🍂 And taking out my Canon for this trip ... it’s been a while, hopefully I remember how to use it 😂 And of course I’m looking forward to seeing my family & friends in Oklahoma. Need to help my parents out since my mama recently had surgery on her hand (she broke it pretty bad a few years back when she was out taking out a walk a fell while texting me - don’t text & walk 😅 - so she had to get metal placed in her arm to heal the bones but then after the bones healed the metal ended up cutting through one of her tendons 😱 So her left thumb is out of commission for a while) & then my daddy needs to get a dental procedure done where he has to be placed under anesthesia (I bought him taffy & he lost a tooth 😂 #whoops) So with all of this going on I’m heading home for a couple of weeks to lend a hand - pun intended (I’m sure my mama is so tired of my hand jokes lol my dad & I have been doing imitations of Inspector Kemp from Young Frankenstein since it happened “Vee had better confeerm de fect dat Yunk Frankenshtein iss indeed VALLOWING EEN EES GANDFADDA'S VOOTSHTAPS.” 🤣) But really it’s so nice that I’m able to help them. They’ve helped me for so long with my health, feels so nice to be able to give back to them. I also have a bit of a project I’m excited to get working on ... going to be big, I’ll share more when it’s time 😉 #travelready 📸 @rachelcheatwood89
    • One of my favorite things about California is how the weather in the mornings & evenings are so cool. Get to bring out my new sweater 🥰 My mama always says how she wishes you she was more artistic like me ... I just have to say mama, @carolyn_munholland, your knitting is an art. I love you 💚 @loopslove thank you again for providing the yarn & pattern for this sweater, it’s my absolute favorite #sweaterweather 📸 @nolan.weisser
    • Living & loving life to my fullest 🌞 ⁣ ⁣ It’s difficult to place into words how I’m feeling. A weight feels it has been lifted with my health doing better. I haven’t felt this confident & so in love with myself since I was a child. Sunshine is shining within every part of me; every cell, every fiber of my being. I’m home within myself #inlovewithlife 📸 @nolan.weisser
    • Autumn in SoCal 🌞🌊 #beachbum ⁣ 📸 @nolan.weisser
    • Gotta stretch them hips when adventuring 😝🏜 #brycecanyon ⁣ ⁣ 👉 But really if you go on hikes with me you will have to get used to me stopping & stretching without caring about onlookers -scratch that - if you spend any amount of time with me I’ll most likely go into some form of yoga pose or dance position without thinking about it lol My family & friends are so use this that they don’t even waver in conversation when I put a foot behind my head 😂 #yogilife #stretchhhhh 📸 @rachelcheatwood89
    • Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah 🙌 The largest concentration of hoodoos (irregular columns of rock) found anywhere on Earth. Such an amazing site to see 😄 @brycecanyonnps_gov #gopro #hoodoos
    • Natural Bridge in Bryce Canyon National Park 😄🏜 #wanderlust @visitutah
    • My incredibly talent mama @carolyn_munholland knitted me this gorgeous sweater 🥰 Thank you so much @loopslove for providing the most beautiful yarn for this gorgeous pattern 🙌 #cozy 📸 @nolan.weisser
