And a lot of that is because of my outdoor practice. When we moved here in 2016 I had never experienced anything even close to the weather, darkness, or other extreme wilds of Alaska. After a year here I had some friends through our CrossFit gym, but I still felt like something was missing. I wanted to know more about where we lived and be connected to it, but I wasn\u2019t sure how to make that happen. But when I started my year outside, I looked to community events to give me an outdoor activity or two each week. Showing up at that stuff meant I met people, which meant I got closer to my community and, well, the rest is history. Going outside helped me love where I live, but the way I discovered that isn\u2019t the only method. In this best of episode I\u2019m bringing by author Melody Warnick, author of the book This Is Where You Belong: Finding Home Wherever you Are, to talk about how spending time outside helps you love where you live.
