Took a pause under some palm trees 💙🌴⠀ ⠀ What I love about journeying home is how much it feels like the perfect path that leads to comfort, adventure, freedom, love, possibility, and promise. ⠀ ⠀ What does home (or palm trees) mean to you?
Happy 77th birthday to my dearest Papa! 💙⠀ ⠀ There are so many words yet so little to fully describe all the feelings. If I could some up what I’ve learned from him it’s generosity, gratitude, grit and the fact that we are all deserving of happiness. He believes in working hard, playing hard, and I’m adding loving hard to the list. ⠀ ⠀ This photo was taken in February when he was first moved into assisted living and Jack was so sad to leave him. Swipe for today’s photo after he let Jack win 3 games of pool in a row. #alzheimerssucks

Unforgettable 🐘⠀ It’s world elephant day! We learned so much about these remarkable creatures while at Phuket’s first elephant sanctuary back in March. They rescue older elephants that worked and lived in captivity from various places throughout Thailand. An elephant never forgets. As a memory keeper I love these beautiful animals. The saying comes from the fact that elephants often retrace the same paths over and over during their lives. They live in close communities and even grieve for lost family members. They may not be able to make paper crafts, but it’s amazing to see how memory is a part of their lives, too. To me remembering the past means learning from it, preserving what is good (in a planner, scrapbook, or even here on instagram), and making changes to build a good future for all the creatures of the world. I think the elephant is one of my spirit animals.⠀ ⠀ One day when Jack is old enough, we are definitely going to volunteer at an elephant sanctuary for an extended period of time. Until then, I’ll just recall this happy memory - it’s one I’ll treasure forever. (Swipe to see this lady and JC and another of bath time with a special friend!) ⠀ ⠀ What’s your spirit animal? Or do you have a special elephant story?⠀ ⠀ #worldelephantday #elephantlove
Looking sharp, guys 💚😆
