The announcement I’ve been teasing all year is finally here…😱 I’m writing a book 🥹📖 I was really hoping by now I’d be saying “I wrote a book,” but dang…writing a book is hard! Like, way harder and more time-consuming than I ever expected. And the emotional toll? I truly had no idea what I was signing up for. But here we are, and I’m so excited (and a super nervous 😅) to finally share this story. I actually started sharing parts of this story on social last year, but the further I got into it, the more I realized I wasn’t doing it justice. There was so much more to it, and I knew I couldn’t tell it properly in a few posts here and there. So I decided to do it the right way…with the book I’d always wanted to write. So here we go 😳 I feel like I need to give a huge thank you to my friends for putting up with my lack of hanging out this year and for supporting me through this grueling process, and to my family for letting me run way too many ideas by them over and over again. But most of all, thank you to my husband…who has been very supportive of me writing a book that may or may not include stories about other boys 😅 Seriously though, this process has been way more emotional than I ever imagined. Can’t afford therapy? Write a book 🤦‍♀️ And my sweet hubby has been here through all of it 🥰 Thank you all so much for being here. I wouldn’t even be brave enough to do this without all your kind messages throughout the years. I truly can’t wait for you to read this literal chapter of my life 💙 If you’re new here, hi, I’m Cassie 👋 I spend a lot of time outside hiking trails, wandering around nature, and not taking myself too seriously. If that feels like your vibe, you’re in the right place 🌲 Follow along @thatoutdoorsygal 💕 - @thatoutdoorsygal
