I love substack. Opening this app immediately fills me with a surge of optimism, envisioning a future where I can write professionally and build more and more meaningful relationships. I’ve been toying with a few article ideas and I need your advice and motivation to get the ball rolling. Can you drop a vote of which you would like to see immediately?

Made me laugh - I went camping for the first time this weekend. It was incredible. All this talk about being a city girl is overrated. I’m ready for more time in the wilderness and time spent hugging trees.
Timmy, James and I, found ourselves hauling a ridiculous amount of gear to the ferry. We were going to have to swim to shore and deliver our 12 articles of luggage safely and dryly to land. The rainy mist that came out of nowhere was not going to help the cause. We began to discuss the potential of the weekend being Fyre Fest 2.0. Fear, confusion, and the unexpected had us laughing hysterically while we waited in line for our ferry ride to Catalina. Photo evidence above of our successful rave in the wild.
