Do you feel the effects of the seasons? How do you maintain health and happiness through these chilly months? Winter has just begun, so let’s all band together, striving for wellness and joy this year!
I prefer to travel alone. I’m at my most selfish and self-indulgent when I fly solo. I also feel at my most vulnerable. Sometimes, I go to countries where a wandering single white woman is an attraction in and of itself. Are there moments of discomfort? Of course. Do I feel in danger? Very rarely.
Being a kid is an adventure. Being a mom is an adventure. And while the outdoor adventures may change when children come into your life, they don’t have to stop.
As I lay there, face down on the bottom of the passage, I reveled in the quietude of my breath under trillions of gallons of seawater. I was alone and I was content. I knew they would be searching for me and with any luck, they’d find me before my teeth started to chatter.
This is our first adventure race, and we are doing it together, for fun, and with no competitive intentions. We’re the only all-female team in the two-person open division. Our goals: Have fun and don’t finish DFL (dead effing last). But she is smoking me, and we are actually doing pretty well.
Why am I so hesitant to weed out my water bottle collection? Because each bottle is connected with a memory or meaningful event. Sure, the memory won’t disappear with the bottle, but the bottle is a concrete reminder of the event. Read on for examples.
I crossed seven states in 10 days, visited friends, congratulated a couple on their beautiful wedding, and saw some amazing places along the way. When I finally parked my vehicle for good, I looked up and saw I made it back to Colorado just in time to watch the sunset.

I’m running hard and barely moving. The drag of a glider, the awkward tangle of a harness, and the weight of the pilot yoked in behind me hold me back. I dig my toes into the mountain side, push off with each giant stride, and soon my legs are kicking in the air instead of pawing at the ground.
I did it. I roped a friend into teaming up with me for an adventure race. It’s coming up on September 17th, but we just signed up yesterday and have got to get it together ASAP. Help!
It reads like a recipe for disaster: Ride a three-wheeled auto-rickshaw over 3,000 kilometers. Across India. In two weeks. With no support. I am to choose my own route across the country: from the eastern hills of Meghalaya to the Rajasthan desert, only hours from the Pakistani border.
A self-inflicted mental obstacle had leashed me to the road, preventing me from enjoying the full spectrum of bike-riding bliss. Busting down that barrier took years, encouragement, help from experienced friends, and opportunities to learn in safe environments.
At camp, crazy is cool. Laughter makes anyone beautiful, and the crazier we dance together, the closer we become. Whether you’re a 16-year-old Counselor In Training or the 65-year-old activities director, camp keeps everyone in this limbo between childhood and adulthood.
