We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.” Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. - Alan Watts

the quiet winter's progress has congealed inside me, taking simple yet surprising new forms. as I continue to reconstitute some of these ideas in private, before sharing with you dear reader in the coming months, I give you this brief update.

 

In my last newsletter, I announced that I'm partnering with the Okanogan National Forest to operate run-fish-run trips at alpine lakes near home (which I'm honestly coming out of my skin with excitement about). This go-around I want to let you know I've also partnered with Tenkara USA as a guide in their network - you'll be using their rods on our trips - as well as with Adventure Mamas as a collaborator.

Not only will I be the only independent female fly guide in the Methow but this is the only run-fish-run guiding offered anywhere. Ever. Perfect way to check out a new reason to run, bask in the beautiful turquoise water, and explore the Methow.

Pre-register and choose a date for your fishy adventure.

One-third of my mission and my engagement strategy with clients for the past five (almost six!) years is the practice of self-care. Though I understand and heartily preach the benefits of strategic rest, paring down unnecessary activities in one’s personal life, time alone, meditation, eating well and often, and getting enough rest, sometimes I don’t practice what I know to be true.

Over the holiday season and right on into the new year, folks have been giving my services to their friends and loved ones. MN coaching has been given to a ripe new mama at her baby shower, a boyfriend on his birthday, and a sister for the holidays. 

Treat your favorite spirit-athlete to a consult or a run with me.
