“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.” Isaiah 42:16
This past week, I shared some pretty vulnerable stuff on here — my struggles with depression + anxiety, and my journey with retinitis pigmentosa. Between my vision loss and mental health, some days feel very isolating, but it was SO encouraging hearing from so many of you in similar positions. Everybody’s story is different (and it’s important to remember not to cast judgement on whose story is “better” or “worse”) but we are not alone! I appreciate that these topics are less taboo to talk about than they used to be, and I certainly intend to be more transparent about struggles moving forward. Vulnerability creates community. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you — thank you for following me and my ramblings on here (especially those who have been with me since the very beginning) and thank you for the immense support this past week. If you’re struggling today, I pray a prayer of peace and healing over you for mind, body, soul. Feel free to message me anytime! ✨
#ad Today is #WorldSightDay — an incredibly important day for me and millions of other blind and visually impaired individuals around the world. Today on my blog (link in profile), I’m sharing some intimate details about my story with retinitis pigmentosa, an incurable degenerative eye condition slowly rendering me blind. As my day-to-day life is so impacted, using products like these Herbal Essences bio:renew shampoo + conditioner bottles truly makes such a big difference (swipe to see the distinguishing etchings on the back of the bottles). It’s amazing to see more brands being radically inclusive... thank you @herbalessences for leading the charge! 🌿 #herbalessences #botanicalshampoo

I went to Canada a Mac user, and came home a dedicated @dell user. My editing process has been forever changed with the ultra-fast #DellXPS 15 2-in-1 (scroll to see how I edited this photo of the infamous Peyto Lake, shaped like a wolf!). I never knew I needed touch screen, now I can’t live without it (I even try to touch the screens of other computers). ⠀ Have questions about this computer, my editing process, or traveling to Banff? Leave me a comment below!
New on the blog — sharing a few moments from a recent shoot here in the mountains with two of my favorite brands, @zappos (fast, free shipping anyone?) + @merrell. I think I’ve found my new trail + travel shoes — so comfortable! I only work with brands I genuinely love and believe in, and this truly was a match made in heaven. Link in bio for more! ✨ #sponsored #ZapposStyle #createyourtrail

I seek to continually educate myself on how to be a better steward of our planet’s wild places. As a visually impaired woman who doesn’t drive, I used to think I’d already made my contribution towards helping the environment, as I take public transit and bike everywhere. But I’ve since come to learn that regardless of lifestyle changes we’ve already made, there’s ALWAYS room to improve, especially in our daily routines. There are innumerable resources out there — educate yourself, register to vote, and pick up your trash (and other people’s). #NationalPublicLandsDay
