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”

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’”

One of the trendy health words that has been buzzing around in 2023 has been “Exercise Snacks”. What does that mean?

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”
