∘∘∘ The Misogi: The Passage 𖦹 The day began at 4:30am preparing for our journey with Monika’s homemade #coldbrew coffee—with little to no sleep the night before. I think I got maybe an hour of sleep. These #polaroids were snapped around 6:30am on the boat soon after we waved goodbye to the dock and howled collectively (all 10 of us) up towards the heavy grey skies. Our stomachs filled with butterflies, anticipation, excitement, and curiosity of the unknown. 𖦹 Our logistical plan was still relatively debated until the first brave swimmers jumped in. Tyler & Dakotah swam together the first mile in a mere 30mins with ease along the shoreline while Jordan & Blake kayaked by their sides, and everyone else waited on the boat to cheer them on as they got closer. This is how it went for the remainder of the wet & chilly day. Switching turns swimming & kayaking & boating. 𖦹 Each of us completely exceeded what we considered our “limitations” the night before. I alone swam 2.5 miles, and kayaked 2.5, while Jordan swam 1.5 and kayaked at least 6 miles. As a group we collectively swam over 30 miles across Lake Wylie—through the pouring rain. Some of us had horrible leg cramps, some of us felt like crying in the wet rain, some of us we’re new swimmers, and some of us were swimming only 6 months after having bariatric surgery. In some moments it felt dangerous on the lake, but we all continued to pushed ourselves beyond. Through any fears and any doubts. And at one point, our souls surged together while the rain poured down and Dakota screamed, “THIS IS MISOGI TIME BABY.” {to be continued..}

We had a fun morning strawberry 🍓 picking in the farm! Creating memories with these two goobers is always so exhilarating. #strawberrypicking #mckinleysmilestones #coraexpressions #summerfun
