Do you ever get to the point where you just don’t want to see another notification, another text, phone call, email? I certainly hit my limit recently. Full-on stressed out over small things. I really needed a reset. Enter a place with hardly any cell signal. Getting outside always helps me, but spending hours whereContinue reading “Day Hike in the Red (River Gorge)”

Vegas, Baby!
Other than a cake at the office, I’ve never celebrated my birthday before. 35 seemed like one worth celebrating. As the timing happened to nearly line up with visiting a friend, it seemed like the perfect two in one celebration. My adventure started with a connecting flight that was delayed an hour and a halfContinue reading “Vegas, Baby!”
Forest Bathing
Have you tried forest bathing? No, I don’t mean taking off your clothes and scaring the other hikers. 😆 For many years, humans have innately known what science proves in different ways over and over again. Nature is good for you on a deep level. Good for your eyes to stretch out to a distanceContinue reading “Forest Bathing”
Strong for Summer (and for life) part 2 of 2
I am a little bit of an REI gear junkie, lol. I just got an email from them last week saying that I’ve officially been a member of the co-op for 10 years. 10 years!? I got the membership as an adult and after shopping there pretty regularly for a while. Strange how time passesContinue reading “Strong for Summer (and for life) part 2 of 2”
Finding Motivation to Keep Pushing
This quote from – Anatoli Boukreev – I have said it before, I don’t climb to set records. First, I’m not that great at it. 🤣 The primary reason that I climb outside, is because I love being outside. The secondary reason is that it is a badass skill. And the joy that I getContinue reading “Finding Motivation to Keep Pushing”

Kayaking at Lake Wilgreen
The first time I went kayaking was around 8 years ago. I went to Tempe Town Lake and absolutely loved it. I knew that I wanted a kayak just from that one outing. It took a few years, but when I moved to Kentucky, one of the first things that I did was to buyContinue reading “Kayaking at Lake Wilgreen”
South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip Part 2!
I am constantly amazed at the variety of nature across the US. I guess that it shouldn’t be very surprising as it is geographically a very large country, but it truly never ceases to amaze me. I can’t say that I had ever hiked a forest to ocean trail before. Enter the Awendaw passage. EveryContinue reading “South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip Part 2!”
South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip
The beach is my happy place. Remember when I said that my next adventure was going to be a big one? Most of my childhood summer vacations were to somewhere in nature. National Parks, local nature preserves and lakes- camping, hiking, hanging out. This was before cell phones were around or were smart. And IContinue reading “South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip”
