On my journey getting outside and reconnecting with nature in the last decade, it’s helped having a flexible idea of how I want to get outside each day. My goal is 30 minutes, yours may be more or less! I structured my schedule to include my kids, and it’s specific to my hobbies - yours should look different! The point is to make one 🤎🌻

Do you have a plan to get outside today? 

How are you enjoying spring time?

Have you been able to hike once a week for my 10 week Spring hike challenge?! 

LETS KEEP AT IT 👏🏾 

✔️ Hike one day a week for the next 7weeks leading up to the first day of Summer! Ends June 21st

✔️ Get intentional time outside every day for atleast 30 minutes (think micro adventures & dilly dallying)

✔️ Post about it & share with the community #WeColorNature2026 and tag @she_colorsnature 

We are building a habit of getting outside. One day at a time. I’m in it with you. 3 weeks down, 7 more to go!!! 🫶🏾

This was so much fun to do around the neighborhood with my youngest on a walk. He took it very seriously, finding yellow was his life’s mission and he loved it. There was a neighbor outside holding a yellow drill and it allowed me to stop and chat with a person I wouldn’t have, if not for the yellow he was holding. He was proud my son knew to call it a drill and rewarded me with one of my favorite flowers from his yard. More neighborly exchanges like this please 💛

A color walk is literally just going on a walk to single out one color along your way - the art of noticing.

Add this to your weekend plans outside!

Have you done a color walk before?

I absolutely loved how Indigenous culture cherished their elders and let them pray and eat first before every meal. I also love how valued kids were in every situation, not one child was treated as a burden in that space. American culture fails at this - but I will carry those values ahead with me everywhere 🫶🏾

I am loving that you guys are loving this series. We are steady at about 2 miles so far 2 weeks in. I literally died laughing when my app translated my sons squirrel conversations to “giggity- giggity” 🤣

I hope these videos encourage you to get outside. Please steal any or all of my tactics 🐞🌳☀️🤎
