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. Hiking throughContinue reading “Perspective Taking: Insights from the Grand Tetons”

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. One teacher I know what given this cute token of appreciation (see image). Why do we celebrate these respective industries? Because we know how challenging the job is! Many of theContinue reading “Celebrating the Struggle”
Ready For Growth?
March is Springtime in the Northern Hemisphere. I consider this the true “new year”. The energy of awakening from the winter slumber, being surrounded by growth and life; that is what feels new to me. Think of all the energy it takes to grow. Whether it’s the tiny seedling breaking through the soil’s surface orContinue reading “Ready For Growth?”

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’”
Authentically You
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will turn 30 this April and I got to see them live this past weekend…how lucky am I?!? This is a musical group influenced by the Big Band Era. They write and cover songs where their drum and bass deliver the rhythm and a tight horn section provides a call andContinue reading “Authentically You”
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”
Fuel vs. Treat
The 4th of July, in the United States, is a time of celebration. Many observe this holiday by gathering with friends and consuming food while watching fireworks. How did you fair the holidays in regards to consumption? With special events, it is important to identify what items actually fuel your body versus what you areContinue reading “Fuel vs. Treat”
Acknowledge Your Accomplishments
FB reminded me that, five years ago, I started a training regimen that was part of my graduate work. The course work entailed 2 books, some team projects, climbing Mt Adams, and a final paper, connecting all the dots. It was a 12-week training schedule to be physically fit for the technical climb. All IContinue reading “Acknowledge Your Accomplishments”
Ready to Take Flight?
When was the last time you flew? I happened to be in mid-flight recently when the pilot came on the speaker and shared that masks were no longer mandated on flights. That felt like a small historical moment that will get stored away in my brain. Have you ever examined the wings of a plane?Continue reading “Ready to Take Flight?”
