Happy New Moon, Reader!!

​

We're in a new moon in Libra with a Mercury retrograde. So, even though new moons normally represent renewal, in this case, it may actually be guiding us to reflect. Turning inward to then go forward. If you've been feeling stuck or like you've been spinning your wheels lately, go ahead and blame Mercury retrograde and let that sh*t go.

​

This update I'd like to share a recent feature we got on A World In Reach for her blog series titled "Hostels Around the World." Be sure to check out HI Whistler if you're in B.C. this winter! I've also been reminiscing about two years ago in Italy. Check my story highlights. Mmm.... Good times.

​

Don't forget your blog post and free meditation before you go!

The moonwandering blog is about to start hosting some seriously awesome PNW camping content. I've been casually sharing trips from my hardshell roof top tent all summer, but I've finally taken time to compile the research and give you a post to help you get your own!

​

We can't all afford to buy a fully decked out van or RV for our #vanlife dreams, but most of us have a car! These roof top tents attach to the top rack of your car so you put your wanderlust tires to the pavement this season. Don't worry, you can get a rack if you don't have one already.

​

Think of it like your own private bedroom on wheels. It saves me so much money from hotels and it doesn't feel like "tent camping" because you're totally up off the ground. All of the options come with retractable ladders and memory foam mattresses. I love mine because I can extend my stays and have more relaxed trips without breaking the bank. Check out the post to decide for yourself which roof top tent is the best!

Free Meditation

Last, but certainly not least, your free meditation for self-compassion. Adapted from the research of Kristen Neff and the book "The Force of Kindness" by Sharon Salzberg, this self-compassion meditation includes powerful imagery and to promote self-kindness and release your sense of guilt or self-criticism. Treat yourself as you would a close friend, with love and compassion. We all make mistakes, and we heal from them through thoughtful compassion.

Take care Reader. See you in a couple weeks,
