Beautiful moments and heartfelt connections. I took my mom on a nature adventure yesterday in true Monica Monday fashion. 🤣🤣🤣 We had 3 places on our list to visit and making the most of the day and opportunities we took quite a few detours. 🤣🤣🤣 Make every moment count. First stop was the San Francisco Botanical Garden. This place ended up being our favorite of the 3 Garden Tour. San Francisco can be busy and this place felt incredibly intimate. We did go first thing in the morning on a weekday but regardless there is so much space and so many beautiful beings to share space with. It is easy to be present with exploring the various textures, scents, and sounds. I loved all the benches to sit down on and appreciate the space around you. I also loved the various pathways making it feel like you escaped to some other world. AND, you can bring food into this garden. #sanfrancisco #goldengatepark #sanfranciscobotanicalgarden #natureinthecity #californialove #californiaadventure

This year is all about Me. Getting down to my essence and purpose. Finding oneself requires some sacrifices. So I'm working on stripping away things that don't support Me, whether that is material possessions, stagnant or unsupportive friendships (I was going to say toxic but that's not always the case), mindless scrolling, non-nutritious foods, hectic places, being too "comfortable", and so on. And meanwhile I'll be cultivating, nourishing, and refining the things and relationships that do support me. But also, I'll be getting out of my comfort zone, because I think many of the most memorable and growth inducing experiences involve pushing physical and mental limits, overcoming obstacles, learning new things and meeting new people (this is the hardest one for me). I'm so grateful for those people in my life who are growing and exploring alongside me, challenging me, and pushing me to be a better version of myself! I'm also very excited about the next couple of months, I've got some adventures on the books and I am looking forward to sharing them with you here, obviously. #almost50 #goldengatepark #sanfranciscobotanicalgarden #offthebeatenpath #shotonpixel #pixel8pro

In the winter of 1940, horticultural history was made at the newly-opened San Francisco Botanical Garden when its exotic cup and saucer magnolia (Magnolia campbellii) became the first of its kind to bloom in the United States. Huge crowds of excited and curious visitors stood in long lines to see the stunningly large pink blossoms of this famous Magnolia that still stands in the Garden today! The Botanical Garden is now home to more than 200 Magnolias—many rare and historic. The Garden’s current collection includes 63 species and 49 cultivars. Don’t miss one of the most significant conservation collection of Magnolias in the United States in full bloom through the end of March 2024 at San Francisco’s Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park. https://gggp.org/san-francisco-botanical-garden/ @gardensofgoldengatepark @thechateautivoli #magnificentmagnolias #SanFranciscoBotanicalGarden #sfbotanicalgarden #urbannature

I’m feeling springtime around the corner, despite the constant battering of storms that California has been receiving. Yesterday I paused on my front porch to witness the emergence of a monarch butterfly out of its chrysalis that I’ve been watching. The metamorphosis was amazing to witness!

At the @gardensofgoldengatepark Open House in San Francisco, California, on March 4, we had the pleasure of touring the gardens and got an exciting sneak peek into some operational updates and new facilities. We also listened to intriguing talks on programs, marketing, and planning processes. Thank you so much for the Gardens of Golden Gate Park for their time! Everyone enjoyed the tours and learning about the updates. #GoPublicGardens #PublicGarden #PublicGardens #botanicalgarden #botanicgarden #SF #SanFrancisco #ConservatoryofFlowers #SanFranciscoBotanicalGarden
