My journey of slowing down & embracing the simple joys that make life beautiful.
Each week I take you along on my journey of learning how to slow down, live in rhythm with nature, love through cancer, and embrace the simple joys that make life magical.
Welcome, I am Rachel O'Bare and I live in a tiny mountain town in Colorado at 8440ft. I moved here at the start of the pandemic (March 2020) when I was quarantined with my husband Kyle after three months of dating. After just one year of dating, Kyle was diagnosed with brain cancer for the third time. This past four years has been about learning how to slow down even more, find optimism in struggle, love through cancer, and learn how to cultivate calm.
I am excited to share this journey of life with you. Shining light on the simple things that make life beautiful, and finding light in the darkness.

Just a reminder that there are real humans on the other side of their social media profiles! I am overwhelmed with the insane love and support flooding in from this incredible community.
Thank you I see every comment even if it takes me a while to respond! And at the same time, we are not asking for medical advice or your medical opinion. If you have differing opinions on how we should be handling things please keep those as inside thoughts. If you are not in our position you truly can never know what we are facing. We trust and believe in the medical team we have created.
Again thank you for the love and support but in the face of all of this reading some of the things showing up in my inbox has been hard to read. I am a human and very much a wife and advocate for my husband, whom I have and will continue to do everything I can to be the best wife and advocate through this journey.

Your daily reminder that YOUR NEEDS MATTER!
We have to feel our feelings especially those who care for others because if we don't we make ourselves sick. You can feel sadness, fear, anxiety, and all the other less desirable emotions but that doesn't mean you cannot also have hope at the same time! You can cry in front of those that you care for and it doesn't make you any less of an amazing caregiver. You are human and your feelings are valid and matter, FEEL THEM!

Coming back to this practice every day no matter where I am keeps me grounded, calm, and connected to my heart. The medicine I know I need every day Today I woke up bright and early at 5:3o am naturally, I got up and ideally would have tea first thing but no kettle in the room, and the lobby was not open yet I started finishing editing today's video coming out in a few hours. (I am excited for you to watch it!) but once I was done and the lobby was open I went and had them fill my hydroflask with hot water. Is it ideal no but it's perfect. Kyle was still sleeping so I headed out to the amazing peaceful grounds where we were staying and sat and sipped many bowls of tea. The peace I feel from being in nature well-drinking nature is beyond words. Ready to move through this day with so much more ease and even more amazement for all the beautiful nature here 🏜️

We are beginning to pack to leave for Kyle's surgery! I do not want to forget a thing and I am curious if you were traveling out of state for surgery what would you make sure you had with you? What would you bring to help you feel at home and help you in healing?
