These photos capture a sunrise, high noon, and sunset during my recent backpacking trip in the Grand Tetons. I was in awe of how the mountains transformed as the sun moved across the sky, much like how my perspective evolved as I traversed the trail. The mountains weren’t the only perspective that changed.

Celebrating the Struggle
As we are coming off of Appreciation week for nurses, teachers, and firefighters, I love hearing all the ways these awesome humans were honored.

Many of theContinue reading “Celebrating the Struggle”

The Times They Are a Changin’
I have seen so much change these last few months. Even individuals who shy away from change have verbalized the desire for something new. Big or small, fast or slow, scary or exciting, and whether you embrace or resist; change is happening everywhere. With honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. this week, it reminds me thatContinue reading “The Times They Are a Changin’”
Accountability
I keep saying I want to get more hiking in. I have brought up, more than once, that I’ve been thinking about trying to qualify for this local footrace that happens in September. I will whine, on occasion, that I feel better when I connect with nature every day, but I don’t always make itContinue reading “Accountability”
What’s in your tool box?
Have you ever been in a situation where you were somewhat embarrassed by what happened but even more embarrassed by how the situation kept unfolding? I was having a very productive Sunday. I had baked several “thank you” gifts and was cleaning up the kitchen. As I was finishing the dishes, I went to run theContinue reading “What’s in your tool box?”

All IContinue reading “Acknowledge Your Accomplishments”
