Why We Hike

September 5th, 2012

“Being in the wild gathers me. It astonishes me. It quiets the negative voices inside of me and allows the more constructive ones to talk. It humbles me. It reminds me of how small I am, which has the reverse effect of making me feel gigantic inside.”
Cheryl Strayed, author of Torch, Wild, and Tiny Beautiful Things, two books I highly recommend.

Please take a little hike with me as I explain, in my words, why we hike:

Love, Family & Nature Complete Me

May 7th, 2012

I have been traveling quite a bit to develop Epic Life, so I am relishing being home in Wyoming with my family — my “home team.”
Yesterday, my husband, Jerry, our three sons, our dog, and I, hiked to Popo Agie Falls — one of our favorite local hikes. It was glorious.
Nothing completes me like family, love and nature. As long as I have these, I am rich.
