The Sunday Post: Silence

Jacksprinter’s Sunday post is silence. Nothing could mean silence more to me than watching the sunset over Roy Lake and capturing the magical, silent moments of the days end. Peaceful. Lovely. Silence of heart, soul and mind.

Or capturing the last bit of day’s light over Cranberry Lake in Siren, Wisconsin.

I can’t think of a better way to enjoy and experience silence and peace of mind than a beautiful sunset.

  I love that phrase…”taste the silence”! I need it now. Been very hectic since we’ve been home. Stress has entered my life again. Wish I could get that silence….will have to due with pictures!

This photo was taken over five years ago in an epic trip hiking the high peaks of the Bolivian Andes. It was one the many trips I took with my dad to South America. I believe strongly in the power of inner generational travel and am excited to be planning a future mother-daughter trip next summer to Peru with @travellinggood ! Check out there account for more information!

You may have noticed that I have not been on Instagram much this past year. I’ve been very conflicted about IG lately and it’s impact on so many things. So conflicted that I spent hours researching and writing a post “Is Instagram Changing the Way We Travel” (link in bio). In the post I rant about many things but the most important one is this thought. Perhaps the most important issue of all is that social media is changing the way we travel and see a place. Instead of seeking out all the beauty and mystery in the world and being curious, we are too caught up in getting the perfect shot and hitting send, and not seeking out all the wonderful things about travel in the first place. As much as I often want to just shut down all of my social media accounts and throw up my arms in frustration, I can’t. You simply can’t run a business (or a blog) without social media. So putting the negative things aside, it is important to remember that there are actually a lot of incredibly positive things about social media. Think of the connections you make with fellow travelers and also the ability to inspire, create and show off the incredible beauty and diversity of the world. For those who don’t have the luxury of traveling, you can be an armchair traveler and learn more about the world through the impressive array of photos and stories found online. There are plenty of truly amazing, real and authentic influencers out there doing a lot of great things on social media. Some are even changing the world! So instead of giving up, we can choose to be more mindful with our own use of social media. If you are like me, you may not have a huge social media following and that is ok. If my social media is used as a way to offer some inspiration in how me as a traveler sees the world, then it is a success regardless of my small following. Instead of becoming so obsessed with the numbers, the comments and the likes, we can focus on being our authentic selves. When we travel, we can choose a place to visit because we truly want to see it. We can put our phones away. Connect with the beauty of the world around.

One of the most amazing gifts of being a mother is watching my child grow and become their own unique being. My daughter age 12 seems to take after me in my love and curiosity of this beautiful world we live in. She dreams of traveling and seeing the world and aspires to make a difference as well. There are tragically so many problems that her and future generations will have to face. At times the list is daunting. Yet I feel comfort in knowing that tomorrow’s adults will take a stance on so many issues I find unacceptable. ✨✨✨✨

A few years ago I went on one of the best trips ever, to the Osa Peninsula where for an entire week I explored local travel. I stayed at a jungle cabin without electricity and rode horseback at sunset along a deserted beach. Here I had a canoe ride in a private lagoon with migrating birds and Howler monkeys roaring off in the distance. Local rural travel is what I love best. I love connecting with the culture and people in the places I visit.

I accidentally hit a button on my phone and in came years of iPhotos I took with my phone! This photo is special as it brings me back five years ago when I went hiking with my dad in Bolivia. I have always loved the mountains and my dad and I have hiked around the world together. Looking forward to our next hike this summer with my son as well. Three generations.
