It’s been a few weeks since I last wrote. I didn’t disappear. I’ve been resting, walking, listening, and — for the first time in a long time — letting myself sit still. These past few weeks have held some of the biggest changes I’ve lived through in years. A diagnosis. A new medication. A memoirContinue reading “The Walking Stick”

I Went Back to Finish Thinking
I finally made it to Northshore Trail through the Rockledge Park entrance this week. I’ve been wanting to start there forever, but my weekend hikes are almost always early and I don’t have the patience to wait around until 8 a.m. for the gate to open. After Enchanted Rock, hell week began. Tax Day. Wednesday,Continue reading “I Went Back to Finish Thinking”
She Conquered Enchanted Rock — And Left a Few Things Behind Up There
A Sunday recap, one day late but worth every word I was so exhausted after Saturday’s hike that opening my laptop was simply not happening. I showered, checked into my hotel, and took a nap. No apologies. That’s exactly what my body needed. But let’s back up to where it all started. I hit theContinue reading “She Conquered Enchanted Rock — And Left a Few Things Behind Up There”
Rest, Recovery & All Hail HOKA
A late Friday recap from the couch. Yesterday’s hike came with a price. By the time I got home my right heel was screaming and I spent the rest of the day on the couch icing it, stretching it, and having a very honest conversation with my body. Ice, stretch, foot and calf exercises, rest,Continue reading “Rest, Recovery & All Hail HOKA”
Sometimes the Map Just Hasn’t Been Written Yet
This post is a day late and that’s okay. Yesterday my body made the decision for me — rest first, write later. Turns out that’s exactly what this post is about. I was up early again this morning — back to my regular walks before school drop offs. I missed these. I haven’t been sleepingContinue reading “Sometimes the Map Just Hasn’t Been Written Yet”
How Being a Solopreneur with ADHD in Perimenopause Is Wrecking Me — And Why I’m Hitting the Road to Figure this S#!t Out
So today, there was nothing more I could squeeze in but a 20-minute walk around my neighborhood. Officing from home can be great and convenient, but during busy tax season the stress and anxiety build up fast — and my soul starts screaming for open space. I’m back in therapy, and that has opened myContinue reading “How Being a Solopreneur with ADHD in Perimenopause Is Wrecking Me — And Why I’m Hitting the Road to Figure this S#!t Out”
9.5 miles on Easter Monday: what the North Shore trail showed me about rebirth
I didn’t plan to start at Murrell Park. The plan was Rockledge Park — 7:30am, trail shoes laced, coffee in hand. But the gate didn’t open until 8am, and I wasn’t willing to lose that time standing in a parking lot. So I pivoted. Found the alternate trailhead at Murrell Park, pulled in, and wasContinue reading “9.5 miles on Easter Monday: what the North Shore trail showed me about rebirth”
