It’s Friday night and I’m snuggled in bed with some light reading 😉 and a big mug of bone broth from the lovelies at @beewench_farm . I’m a party animal. Be jealous. @officialnaomiklein #naomiklein #thischangeseverything #capitalism #climatechange #research #brittanyappbooklist #wherethereoncewaswater
I’ve been devouring this book... It is LITERALLY the most beautiful book I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. If you call California home, and/or desire to know more about this magical & ecologically diverse land, I recommend you dive right in, as I have, to this brilliant work of art & science. 💚🌿 “The California Field Atlas presumes that every natural feature of California is alive and deserves an emancipated rebirth from the old human paradigms of utility and extraction without reciprocation and gratitude.” “The Field Atlas is a manual of geographic literacy, with both a scientific agenda and an artistic one - one is not political and one is.” Very much looking forward to meeting author & naturalist, Obi Kaufmann @coyotethunder this weekend in Big Sur. I’ll probably be a blubbering waterfall of gratitude, and I am totally okay with that. #californiafieldatlas #obikaufmann #california #atlas #californiaecology #cawater #californiamaps #artbook #watercolor #readersareleaders #brittanyappbooklist #research #wherethereoncewaswater
It seems I’m a tad under the weather, ugh. But have no fear... I’m in bed before 7, and nurse dog #BreakerDogMan is here to snuggle me back to health! (And he does NOT play mess-around when it comes to snuggles)... 😍 #whywerescue #rescuedog #nursedog #deckerratterrier #bordercolliemix #doglove #woodshumanesociety
It was a great honor to document the @run4salmon . Thank you @chiefcaleensisk & the Winnemem Wintu Tribe for showing us all the way to move forward with grace and reverence for life... #Run4Salmon #water #wherethereoncewaswater #waterislife #salmon #nodamraise #winnememwintu

If we listen, the mountains speak.... 💙 “As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can". - John Muir #johnmuirquote #mountshasta #mtshasta #sacredplace #rootchakra #earthchakra #wherethereoncewaswater
Mt Shasta Magic. I feel like a new woman after a couple hours on this sacred mountain. 🙏🏻 #mtshasta #sacredplaces #healing #rootchakra #earthchakra #gratitude #wherethereoncewaswater
This project has required patience, perseverance, trust, and vulnerability. It has challenged me, held me, fed me, and at me deepest core, it has changed me. On days like today where I feel the entire weight of the world in my body, I remind myself to be grateful. Grateful for this growth and expansion. Grateful for our precious & powerful Earth Mother and for all the Earth Warriors out there who I know are working for a better world. Grateful for this life. Mount Shasta keeps calling me back. I have been here many times while making this film, but today is the first day she has shown herself. I learned recently from a friend that this mountain is considered by many to be the Root Chakra of our planet. I can feel her... asking me to find my center... asking me to ground. Tomorrow I will join the Winnemem Wintu Tribe and @run4salmon for the final day of their epic prayer journey to bring the salmon home. Car troubles and heart troubles kept me from joining them today, but tomorrow I will be strong and ready to stand in prayer and ceremony for the salmon. Thank you all for joining me on this journey. Your support means the world to me. You light me up, and I am deeply grateful. Sending you love today amidst a world that feels like it’s spinning out of control. 💙🙏🏻💦 #mountshasta #winnememwintu #run4salmon #salmon #cawater #keystonespecies #documentaryfilm #wherethereoncewaswater #rootchakra #earthchakra
Happy Dog. New Library. Beautiful Sunday. 💙 #homelibrary #brittanyappbooklist #readersareleaders #breakerdogman #whywerescue #rescuedog #home
Thank you @hilarysgraves for reminding me that having my face in a book is far more important than having my face glued to a screen. 💙🙏🏻. I have a rather large stack of books waiting for some face-time, and this felt like the right one to start with... “To foreclose on our emotional life out of a fear that the costs will be too high is to walk away from the very thing that gives purpose and meaning to living.” - @brenebrown #brittanyappbooklist #brenebrown #daringgreatly #quotes #books #brenebrownquotes #vulnerability #readersareleaders
Sometimes it’s important to get loud. Here in SLO county, the safety of our water is at stake. @yes.on.measure.g is our battle cry. Protect our water. Say no to fracking. Say no to underground disposal wells. Say no to big oil using our groundwater basins as their dump. Bill McKibben was in town on Monday to encourage us all. To remind us why this is SO important. If we are to have a livable planet for future generations, we must win every one of these local battles. And as my hero @kandimossett said “While there are certainly alternatives to oil, there are NO alternatives to water.” I will be voting YES on MEASURE G. And I invite you to join me. 💙🙏🏻💦 #yesonmeasureg #nofracking #banfracking #shareslo #slocal #protectourwater #waterislife #billmckibben @350org @centerforbiodiv @heidiismighty @natalierisner #wherethereoncewaswater
There ain’t no party like a Yisrael Party... 🍇 I have some overwhelming (and overdue) gratitude to share for Judith & Chanowk Yisrael and their ever-inspiring @yisraelfamilyfarm ... 🌿 Not only are they heroes in #wherethereoncewaswater AND in real life, but they also graciously hosted a rough-draft feedback-screening at their #urbanfarm in Sacramento. I count my blessings every day to be connected with modern day heroes like these two. Thank you both for opening your lives, your hearts, and your farm, and for sharing it all so generously. You inspire. 🙏🏻💙💦 #transformingthehoodforgood #yisraelpassion #yisraelfamilyfarm #oakpark #sacramento #documentaryfilm @friendsoftheriver @chanowk_plants_seeds @beets_by_j #urbanfarming #kisstheground #healthysoil @growbiointensive
