In writing this Blog entry, I caught myself reflecting on one of my answers to a question during our first “Campfire.”

A couple nights ago, I was camping in the mountains before leading a hike the next morning. Although dogs were allowed, this hike would have been both longer and more difficult than my little Minnie has experienced. It w...

A few days ago, I began a "Minnie's Adventures" post: "My story today is a tale of Spring rebirth, nature in the bud, renewal, a trail from beginning to end, and good friends." In the post, I carefully...

International Women's Day is a Day to Celebrate the lives of women who have made a difference and an impact on the lives of other women. I honor and celebrate the many strong women of all walks of life, both past and present.

Talking with my dear and trusted friend a few weeks ago, I shared my feelings or sense of urgency related to my mission for Hiking for Healing versus the ultimate need for patience and responsible, cautious behavior.

This hike did not disappoint! Walking along the Hooper Bald Trail on the Cherohala Skyway, our eyes are focused on an explosion of color … reds, orange/red, and yellow blooms of the Flame azaleas against a backgroun...

The Hiking for Healing Virtual Hike this week will feature a walk along a trail leading to an historic tree… a Cherokee Marker Tree … a.k.a. Native American Trail Marker trees. The natives used them as a marking system.

Our awareness is heightened every day, as it should be, of the occupations, staff, jobs, and activities that are essential in this time of crisis. My heart goes out, and my hat comes off to each and every essential...

A friend asked me a while ago what I wanted from life or to do with my life. This was my answer -

Here I am again! It's the day after Thanksgiving, and "Admin" Marie sweetly reminds me, "I need your next blog, and I could use it right away"!
