Today’s Half-Price Book Haul
One of my favorite spontaneous activities is making a trip to Half-Price Bookstore on South Lamar in Austin, TX. I never know what treasures I’ll find there, but many of the books that have guided me on my journey have been discovered on those shelves. I stumbled upon *Women Who Run with the Wolves* one day and was immediately drawn to the cover, featuring a woman and a wild wolf that reminded me of myself and my dog. We spent so many years hiking countless miles together, and I’m grateful for every moment; those experiences helped shape me into the Wild Woman I am today. It took me nearly a decade to finally dedicate time to reading that book, but once I did, I was blown away by the revelations it held about my own life.
So here I am again, like with so many other books that have shaped me—another haul, another day. I’m so excited!

2. The Wild Year
3. Get Rooted
4. The Joy of Forest Bathing
