What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love how precious and beautiful the outside world is. The sounds, plants, the way that nature takes its course. Nature makes me feel happy, calm, connected, & grounded. This can be difficult to attain because i have Autism and ADHD. I love the way moss feels and the sound of the water splashing when i ride my bike through a shallow puddle. Nature is just the world happening naturally and that is the most beautiful thing to experience.
I really like big cats. I love how fierce and agile they are. I love their colors and patterns, bold or camouflaged. The way they stare so intently and the sound of their roar!
I love exploring nature in my 'Adventure Boots'. Stepping outside & becoming one with nature, nothing is better then that. Any time i am outside, i am happy. How lucky am I to experience all 4 seasons in MI?! Swimming in the lake, scrunching my toes in the sand during Summer. Riding my bike over crunchy pinecones in the Fall. Tasting snowflakes & playing in the snow during Winter. Watching plants begin to sprout slowly, then all the sudden they are standing tall in the Spring sunshine.
