I’ve been following who puts out a lot of accessible and interesting research finds. One he’s shared a lot about recently is the benefits of viewing morning sunlight. While he speaks of many, three big benefits are improved sleep, focus, and mood. I am ever so grateful to spend many mornings outside with my clients, marveling at the beauty of it all. A big thanks to those who wake up early to join me on the trails. 💛[Photo taken approximately 20min after sunrise.]

One of my top recommended books for the year. Lerner explores the complexities of relationship dynamics at every level and how anger, stress, and anxiety can serve as guides to understanding oneself and others. She offers practical, user-friendly examples and communication solutions. A must read!

The end of a year is a good excuse to take time to reflect. How did you grow this year? What did you learn? Unlearn? What did you start? And end? How did you feel stuck? How did you take a risk? What do you want to do more of? Less of? Do you like who you are becoming? Which relationships have meant the most or surprised you? What hardships have you made it though? What did you let go of? Did you have enough time for rest and for play? How did you feed your spirit? ••• What is your favorite reflection question? 🤍💚

Recommended resource: Whitaker offers a comprehensive overview of the history of alcohol consumption, the effects of alcohol on our brain and bodies ( some surprising!) and effective tools to help create an embodied life you don’t need to escape. I highly recommend it! Note: she’s a bit crass and very political; take what you like and leave the rest.

Visited River Legacy Park today for the first time. Hiking trails were closed but the paved trails still offered a great deal of beauty and peace. We will be back!

And just like that, nearly all of a sudden, everything changed. Love how nature’s process can mirror our own. 💙

The fall foliage in Dallas-Fort Worth is more vibrant this year. Here’s why
“But this year’s foliage has expanded outside of its usual range of colors because of a chemical compound known as anthocyanin, city forester Chris McMaster said. The pigment is produced as a result of prolonged moisture in the air from rainfall.” 🍁🍂

If you haven’t spotted the foliage yet, it’s best to head out to parks and other green spaces soon before it’s too late.

Met a new friend for coffee today to discuss outdoor therapy. Upon leaving, saw this reminder… “from little seeds grow mighty trees.” Such a metaphor for life, for relationships, for therapy… What seeds are you planting or sowing? What seeds are coming to fruition? As a therapist, I often consider myself a guide or just a small part of someone’s process and while I don’t know if I’m joining in the client’s planting, watering, or harvesting phase, I am here to help and trust the process.

How tall might you guess a great blue heron is if it stood next to you? (Without looking it up!) Nature has a way of bringing out curiosity and play, which are vital to our well-being. Next time you step outside, allow your mind to wander curiously about the natural world around you. 💚

The In His Image body image conference was incredible! covered the different types of body image and barriers, Kristen Cairns spoke on body image through stages of motherhood, we heard from a Gen Z panel on challenges to body image, a professional panel about honoring God with our bodies and finally, I shared about honoring God with our bodies through movement and exercise. If you missed the in person event but are still interested, you can catch it online starting November 1st. Visit to sign up!
