Today’s #summerofrich adventure included some much needed self-care, facing two huge fears of mine head on by walking across a suspension bridge; only experiencing a minor panic attack, connecting with nature and chasing blue dragonflies.



I’ve had this trail on my list of places I’ve wanted to explore for a few years now. It was a bit of a further drive than most of our hikes lately but well worth it.


I’ve been trying to fight off one of my most unbearable flare ups for the better part of the week now; my body literally feels like it’s on fire and these unrelenting muscle spasms are causing me more and more emotional distress with each passing day.

I took comfort today though in having so many blue dragonflies buzzing all around us. They are said to inspire spirituality, creativity, change and transformation. Ultimately, blue dragonflies symbolize a period of joy and positivity, peace and tranquility; all things I strive for while hiking.



My next tattoo, perhaps?
