Thanksgiving is a period of remembrance and mourning for me. A time to recall true history of my indigenous ancestors. A time to reflect on what it means to be truly thankful, to be truly compassionate. Over 46 million turkeys are killed for thanksgiving in the US alone, every year. This is Sun. Sun is safe. Sun is loved. Sun is here to symbolize the life all turkeys deserve. One of my many ways of giving thanks this year, is by becoming a #TurkeyGuardian for Sun at @thegentlebarn. By donating once, you too can become a guardian to a rescued turkey and receive a guardian certificate. I want to help facilitate a beautiful life to rescued animals and this is a great way to do so. I hope you’ll become a turkey guardian too ❤️ #thegentlebarn

I quit modeling as a career 2 years ago. Adios to years of promoting fast fashion, facilitating revolving trends that make people feel left behind if they don’t consume enough and not least the impact the industry has on earth-people-animals. Now- I’m so grateful when an eco-conscious project presents itself. When @sanlorenzo_bikinis asked me to be a part of their new sustainable retro collection, I was stoked. It’s projects like these that I’ll gladly take time away from the kitchen to create.

I knew I wanted to marry you before I offered you mint tea, on our first date. I made that mint tea too strong and almost burnt your eyes out. Probably because I was too busy thinking of how I was going to keep all of this in. - but hey, we’re still here. You are good. You are kind. You are my everything. To a man who is truly alive, seeks to constantly help others and leads with his heart in everything he does - I am honored you want to spend the rest of your life with me. ❤️

We’re moving. We took a trip to upstate New York to explore the land, visit the town and my favorite animal sanctuaries. In pursuit of a place to call home, acres of land to grow our own food and build our animal sanctuary - this was 1/4 of the exploration trip. I urge everyone in this time to try and find land, even the smallest bit. Learn to grow your own food, work the land and create food independence from billionaires and their corporations. Do what they and so many others aren’t doing, appreciate the land. Be earth stewards. I can’t wait to find where we want to set our roots. Next stop Montana, Texas (my home state) and Colorado. ❤️
