Step 1
Step… you know… OUT. SIDE.
Step 2
Ask yourself, what do I notice? Let’s start with the weather.
DON’T check your phone! Now that you are outside, just stand there. If you feel naked without your phone, that’s okay. If you feel naked without your robe, then go put that on first.
Most of us these days, including me, look at an app to check the weather. Or we ask our so called “smart speaker.” The next chance you get, I want you to try an experiment. Let Siri and Alexa stay asleep, step outside and observe the weather.

I am a mother and this helped me!
THANK YOU! I’m so happy to hear that and know someone is reading this and finding it useful! thanks again, I’ll get back on a regular blog posting schedule soon. One question for you if you had the time would be to ask what kinds of other info or tips do you want? Places to go with kids? What to bring? How to keep them engaged? Maybe all of that?=) Thanks again TED
Moved out of Chicago area to “Wonder Outside” in North Eastern MN on Lake Vermilion 14 years ago and am so glad I did it! Even when I feel there is no time time in the day to go out and enjoy the great North Woods I realize I need to take a minute and realize I am experiencing it daily! There is so much wildlife here; black bears, owls, fox, deer, loons just to name a few. I am fortunate to live in the Great North Woods and also feel fortunate to have met and become friends with Ranger Ted and his beautiful family. So, get out there and enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer you whether it be with Ranger Ted or on your own 🙂
Thank you DAWN! Didn’t realize you were from that really big big city of Chicago on the big lake. We are very happy you made it all the way north past the Laurentian divide to one of the great gems in all of North America, Lake Vermilion =)! More coming soon to this site/ blog and podcast !
