This one is not an easy one to share but I'm gonna do it anyway. Often I'm having a hard time with the fact that all I went and am going through and the disability I am living with now is invisible. My surgeon did a great job hiding my scar, but sometimes I can't help thinking that I wish it was in the middle of my face. When people look at me they see a young healthy woman and think that I can do everything. Nothing is less true. So while being out on a 24 hour solo in the Inyo Mountains I decided to paint my body and ceremonially mark all I went through in the past 1,5 year in a way of integrating it more into who I now am. I put my scar right in the middle of my mountain lion face. Every dot, spiral or line stands for a medical related procedure I went through: 70 injections, 60 pt sessions, 7 broken bones/fractures in my pelvis, 17 hospital visits, 15 bone scans/mri's/xrays, 4 huge screws, surgeries, icu stay, shock wave therapy and so on and so on. I still feel traumatized and notice ptsd symptoms showing up, especially from my time in the ICU and the time I wasn't able to move. Talking about it helps, and making visible too. So I've been trying to do that lately. It's uncomfortable and not easy, but it's time I really start living the new me in a gentle but true way. So ya, here I am, scar in the middle of my face. #paowarrior #periacetabularosteotomy #hipdysplasia #riteofpassage #invisbledisability #gratefulforeverystep #bekindnotallscarsarevisible

My first love... Sometimes it's good to reconnect... I can't walk much these days, and I certainly can't "thru-hike", but I can hike a few flat miles and that is something I am so damn grateful for. I'm learning a new way of walking now. It doesn't take me far but it sure takes me deep. #lifeolife #johnmuirtrail #jmt #sierranevada #tuolumnemeadows #paowarrior #invisibledisability #hipdysplasia

O Sierra, you never fail to crack me open! #sierranevada #bigpinecreek #bigpinenorthforktrail #natureishome #sierra

It's so sweet to be back in Payahuunadü / Owens Valley ❤️ . #payahuunadü #numuterritory #owensvalley #theditch #hotsprings #heartland

This is one of my favorite pictures of our skitour through Swedish Lapland. It was taken the day we skied through Sarvesvagge valley. It was also the day I had dreaded because of the avalanche danger. But when we got there the danger was very low and after some real nasty wind the sun got out and it turned out to be the greatest day of our whole tour.⠀ .⠀ #sarvesvagge #sápmi #sarek #sareknationalpark #sarekskiexpedition #lapland #backcountryskiing #adventurenorthofthearcticcircle #fjällskidor #vintertur #visitsweden #laplandskitour #paowarrior #laponia⠀ ⠀

It's so beautiful at home this time a year! Nature is exploding in all colors of the rainbow and my heart is feeling pretty much the same. Nature shows me over and over again that despite all life goes on and the wheel keeps on turning. I might be in some sort of winter phase with all my health problems going on; spring is still here, reminding me that many parts of me are so fully alive and full of love for the creatures around me. Yes I think I can stand still and move forward at the same time. #natureishome #tinyhomeliving #behumanstaywild #natureismymirror #tinycabin #liveoutside #paowarrior #beekeeping #tinyhome #livingoffgrid #offgridliving #tinyhouse

Ya I know it's not the season, but just wanted to let you know well in advance that you can book me for your next christmas party 🎅🏻! In order to create this look you'll have to provide me with temps of -31F/-35C so I can dress up properly. No, the freezer won't suffice and no, I won't take off my clothes! 🤪 📷 This picture was taken after 19 cold but beautiful km through Rapadalen Valley in Sarek. While the sun was still out I didn't need a mask but as soon as the sun went down everything froze. So for the last stretch through the shade I had to put on my mask cause while hair turning white is no problem, the skin of my nose turning white definitely is. It's a really painful and strange feeling when your nose gets frostbite. #iwillbeyoursantaclause #sinterklaasfeestje #sarekskiexpedition #rapadalen #sápmi #visitlapland #sareknationalpark #sarek #skitouring #fjällskidor #visitsweden #herestothemadones

I guess it's obvious why this campspot gave our tent its name: Rudolph! After a long but beautiful day going through Sarvesvagge we found this beautiful spot not far from Predator Square where the big four live: Brown Bear (still asleep at the time), Wolverine, Arctic Fox and Lynx. 🐾 We saw fresh tracks of the last three. 🐇The snow hares' tracks you can see in front of Rudolph is living a dangerous life here. It also turned out to be the coldest camp since camping was born. Let's say I'm happy I still got all my toes! #whentreesbecomeantlersandtentsbecomereindeer #sarvesvagge #predatorsquare #sápmi #sareknationalpark #sarek #sarekskiexpedition #lapland #hillebergthetentmaker @hilleberg_the_tentmaker #rapadalen #fjällskidor

Dreaming of the desert today. It's a good thing I'll be spending June and July in one of my favorite places on earth, right in between my beloved Mountains and the Desert. I'll be around for work but I'll definitely try to squeeze in a hike or two. My bones are gonna be so happy with the desert heat. #tovowaha #owensvalley #inyomountains #sierranevada #heartland
