A year ago I wrote that what I loved most about the Wellness Almanac's instagram project is it gave my brain a chance to override it's snap judgments and linger a while with people from my community. In their lives. In their shoes. And that brought me to a realization that I love them. A … Continue reading Instagrammers, we thank you for reminding us why this is home
We're back with another guest post by Sam McKoy as part of our series recapping his instagram takeover. This is a photo of my dad following me up the mountainside of Rohr on the Duffey Lake Road. . .
