The Adventures of Little One: Eye-Opening Tales of the First Hero’s Journey

A fun and entertaining way to learn how to overcome some of the most common obstacles to discovering what you’re meant to do in the world, The Adventures of Little One tells the tale of the first hero to go on a quest to find his calling. The stories follow him as he confronts ogres, battles demons, and tries to solve the mystery of the Serpent God, all the while struggling to overcome many of the same challenges we all face as we figure out what we’re meant to do in life.

The Dark Light of Depression

Four years in the making, this personal essay tells the story of how depression, anxiety, and nature helped me rediscover what matters most–and gave me hope that the world can too.

I had another magical encounter in the woods, but before sharing that, let me acknowledge that it’s been a minute (or roughly 120,960 of them for those who are counting) since I last sent something out. A good friend who noticed this wondered if something was wrong,...

The Mystery and Magic of Trusting Our Intuition

What do we do when logic and intuition collide? One day several weeks ago, I was perusing my favorite mud puddle for animal tracks when I came across something extremely odd. The mud puddle, which is more like an inland, mini-mudflat that lies next to a small stream...

Land Acknowledgement

My lifelong relationship with the land and waters of my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia is a story of mutual sustenance--the land gives generously and unconditionally to me, and I do my best to give the same in return. I'm beyond grateful to the Mvskoke (Muscogee) people, the original caretakers of this place, and honor their enduring presence, wisdom, and stewardship. I grieve the sustained oppression, violence, broken promises, and inhumane removals that forced them from this land.

As part of my desire for healing and justice, I commit to daily practices that nurture native life, encouraging others to value this land, and protecting it now and in the future. I also actively seek to learn from Indigenous people and support Indigenous-led organizations and initiatives.

You can deepen your relationship with the land where you live by learning about its original caretakers here.

May our actions nurture a culture of care for generations to come.
