The Dangerdar & The She Solo

August 9, 2017 Kelsey Sather

Three things I've gained from overcoming fears of venturing alone.

If you live in southwest Montana, I recommend checking out The Gallatin Forest Partnership’s work on creating a management plan for the Madison and Gallatin Ranges. The partnership involves a diverse group of stakeholders— anglers and hunters, ranchers, mountain bikers, conservation groups like @greateryellowstone, among others. Their proposed plan seeks to preserve wilderness, maintain a healthy watershed, (very relevant to Bozeman residents), as well as balance the recreational opportunities these majestic mountain ranges offer. Link to read more about the agreement is in my bio; you can endorse the agreement on their website.
Also, with it being negative something today, I’m just gonna say a summer hike sounds reeeeally good right about now. Picture looking north from Blackmore Peak in Hyalite. #montanalove

It’s felt great to get back on skis. I’ve missed the feeling of floating down a powder field and the physical burn of navigating churned snow. Bridger Bowl has changed quite a bit since we grew up playing here, but the views remain as spectacular as ever. Thanks for the great day, @jare_contraire!

One of the distinguishing traits of the fantasy genre is, of course, magic. Magic is defined as "the power of influencing a course of action through mysterious forces." When I was crafting the magic system in my book, I looked to history. Many themes bridge the myths, folklore, and mystical spiritual practices across space and time. The common belief in plants' magical powers captivated me the most and played an increasingly important role in my work. While magic often influences the plot of a fantasy book, I am more fascinated with how the characters relate to it and how it shapes themes like power and oppression. With plant magic, human-nature relationships becomes even more dynamic as the characters ask themselves, what are the benefits and consequences of manipulating the natural world? A question I believe is front and center today. 📸 @speedcoachingandcreative

This dude turned two! Leash etiquette hasn't improved much, but he's still the sweetest little adventure pal. #gambitdabandit

To start, feminine strength. Over the last five years, I’ve explored this concept across genres and platforms, most visibly with the Work Behind the Body series. While these interviews with female athletes often highlighted the physical prowess women embody, I also know our strength, as women and as humans in general, isn’t limited to the metaphorical sword. Historically, being strong often meant being emotionally stoic. Emotions were a women’s folly, and those who expressed raw feelings were often called crazy or overly sensitive. We see this changing for the better. Emotional intelligence grows as a celebrated concept, one encouraged in the youth. Not always, but more so. The rose offers its own strength, and not just in its thorns. To feel, to love, to empathize: these strengths win wars by their potential to prevent them altogether.
