Michigan by Birth. Alaska by Choice.

Michigan by birth. Alaska by choice.
My soul has always craved the wild and all of its untamed beauty; and the past handful of years my soul has found a home within the Alaskan wilderness in a way words can't really begin to express or describe.
There's this peace that settles over me every time my feet are back on Alaskan soil & there's a feeling of tranquility mixed with zeal every time my feet touch back down on Norris Glacier.
It's been a honor to call Norris Glacier home again for the summer. (Not just because it's a badass place to live and one day my kids will get to brag about how cool their mom is.) But because its wilderness has opened its arms to my soul once again and given it a place to rest.
Every morning I stand on the porch of my kitchen and try to take it all in. The mountains, the snow, the dogs. Every detail, every avalanche, every weather day good or bad, because I know in the back of my head there's a clock ticking counting down the days till summer ends and I have to leave this glacier. So while there's still time, I'm thankful for this piece of wilderness I get to enjoy and call home.
I've found my wild.
