~ when nature makes you an offer you can’t refuse

There’s a trio of women I see walking from time to time throughout the week. I noticed their energy right off the bat. It’s powerful enough to make you want to get out of their way…fast. No nonsense. On a mission. Fierce determination. They reminded me why I make it a point to walk this enchanted, nature-infused city whenever I can. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Madam Mother Nature.
Her portfolio is impressive. Mind and thought cleansing fresh air, energy balancing trees, grounding earth, and an abundance of ducks, ladybugs, and dogs to make any totem lover’s day. I’m not telling you something you don’t already know. Going for a walk is good for you: mind, body, soul, spirit, etc. It’s even better when you take time to notice how great you feel as a result of doing it. Mother Nature provides the ultimate eye candy that won’t ever give you a cavity.
You know what else is awesome about investing in a stroll, hike, or walk? It’s accessible to everybody regardless of how much money you have, where you live, what you look like, where you went to school, where you work, etc. And kudos to the dedicated folks who get their walk on in malls early in the morning or at the gym on a treadmill. But I gotta tell you, can’t nobody one up the great outdoors. It’s as if she whispers into your consciousness, ‘You need me. Now, let’s take a walk so I can remind you just how much.‘ Mercy. Mother Nature is Gangsta. Who knew? Namaste y’all…
