Hey Reader!

If there’s one thing my dogs know how to do, it’s making every walk feel like an adventure. Whether it’s a sunny stroll or a frosty winter hike, they remind me to embrace the little things: the crunch of snow underfoot, the fresh scent of pine, and the thrill of spotting a squirrel (okay, that last one is all them).

Last week, was sooo cold! Subzero temperatures, a good excuse to stay indoors.

But that didn't stop us—bundled up in layers, dogs trotting ahead with tails wagging. They couldn’t care less about the cold; every stick was the best stick ever and every pile of snow smelled better than the last.

​

Our daily adventures reminded me of a few important life lessons:

1. Be present. Dogs don’t stress about tomorrow’s to-do list. They’re all about the now—whether it’s sniffing a new trail or greeting a fellow dog walker with tail-wagging enthusiasm.
2. Move every day. A walk doesn’t have to be perfect or long to make a difference. A little fresh air (even in the cold!) can be a game changer for your mood and energy.
3. Enjoy the simple things. A walk isn’t just exercise; it’s time to recharge, explore, and soak in some nature—even if it’s just a neighborhood loop.

This week, I challenge you to channel your inner dog: throw on your warmest coat, step outside, and savor whatever adventure awaits—even if it’s just a brisk walk around the block. You might be surprised how much better you feel afterward!

Until next time,
