I would rather experience something than read or write about it. Describing something that I just did seems to diminish the energy buzz I feel as an activity I enjoyed ends. Maybe that’s why I’m not much of an adventure journal writer. After a full day’s hike, I want to lie in my sleeping bag …

There’s nothing that energizes me quite like a nice walk in the woods,especially if it’s in the woods on a long-distance trail! Walking from the Len Foote Hike Inn back to my car at Amicalola Falls Park Visitor’s Center, I danced down the trail, meeting a dozen fresh hikers starting their treks to Maine. It’s …
24 Days to My Nomadic Life: Momentum
Yesterday was a miracle day! That’s when synchronicities happen that are hard to miss. I want to believe that freeing my body of that “unworthiness” belief created an energetic space for three events: 1. A prospective client called 2. A significant local advertiser invited me to be the featured community sponsor 3. My mentor group …
