CONFESSIONS OF A TINY LADY WORKING AMONGST TREES
International Women’s Day. Do I feel ok? To be honest I’ve been struggling lately.

How does it feel to be up in the crown of a tree? "Just climb and you'll find out," I answered myself. And so I did with my friend Sam, a professional arborist. Leading up to this moment, I have been super excited and looking forward to it for days. At this crucial stage, I... Continue Reading →
