I learned a long time ago, if you feel off it’s time to unplug + reconnect to YOU💫

Adulting is no easy feat. Nobody wrote a rule book on how to approach the hards we endure of life. Just when you think you figure it out, there always seems to be something else to conquer, overcome or ride out. When big changes happen I know I have to highly focus on filling my cup to tackle them.

This weekend’s yes girl adventure was spending 5 hours on the water disconnected from the world with these beauties. Running a business and building communities online is my absolute favorite and having the way I do it drastically change has been very overwhelming for me. As a Type A perfectionist who truly cares about serving others and their goals, I take it very seriously on where my glow community grows into next.

The last two weeks have been challenging and that’s why pouring into me matters most. I’m my best when I can feel, think and move my best. Today’s kayak adventure was absolute perfection. I’m so invigorated going into a new week full of optimism, gratitude and a whole lot more energy to tackle the huge goals I’ve set for myself.

What’s your favorite way to reconnect to you? ⬇️ We’ll see how many body agrees tomorrow but this 7 mile adventure was phenomenal 😜

The Pine Barrens have long been a place where legends, tales, and mythical creatures are born ✨🌲

Curious about this region's folklore? Join us and pinelandsalliance for a family-friendly evening of fun and storytelling around the campfire Saturday, Oct. 19 at 5:45 p.m. at Rancocas Cranberry Farm! The evening's storyteller, our Senior Land Steward Russell Juelg, will delve into myths and legends that have been passed down for generations and discuss the true historical figures who feature in them. We'll also get to take in the sights and sounds of the Pine Barrens during the one-mile walk total to and from the storytelling circle along wide, level trails. Oddities, (a little) fright, and laughter are in store!

We are so happy to have Mackenzie on board this season! With a background in outdoor education, she earned her CDL to become the 3rd in a line of female boat wranglers and sugar sand surfers, driving that bus and doing trivia at the same time!!

Do you hear yodeling in the pines? Don't be afraid, it is not the siren song or a hootenanny! Follow the ethereal sound to the orange buoy and she will lead the way back home.

There’s no such thing as bad weather…

Thank you to the 14 wonderful humans that paddlepak’d 10 miles of the Batsto River this weekend. It’s so fulfilling to spend time with folks that love being outside in the Pine Barrens.

With low water levels on the Mullica, pinelandsadventures pivoted and scouted us an overnight trip - 2 miles up the Batsto via Quaker Bridge to Lower Forge then 8 miles back down to the lake. Much appreciation to all the staff for making our trip possible!

Stay tuned for more adventures, shoot a message if you’d like an invite.

Wrong way paddle to start the day, followed by hauling ass to catch up with the rest of your departure group on the very low, but crystal clear, Batsto River. ❤️ 🛶 🌲
