I took Finn hiking again the other day and for the first time, I could smell the woods through my nose. It made me sit down and really take in nature. I love the quote by Henry David Thoreau that says, "I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees." … Continue reading Take A Hike!

Well, here goes…
For a long time now, I have had a really hard time losing weight. I blame it on depression taking all of my energy and motivation, but I have to admit, I'm also lazy. My weight is not consistent; I can lose 5 lbs., not do anything wrong, and overnight, I'm back up 5 lbs. … Continue reading Well, here goes…
Wanderlust
I recently starting hiking with my dog and I can't begin to tell you how much we love it. Nature is just so freeing and I have been beating myself up for not doing this sooner. I am planning trips to better nature trails and hiking areas close to me, as well as even starting … Continue reading Wanderlust
Stop Spreading The Stigma!
I saw a post on Facebook recently that showed a picture of nature with the title "This is an antidepressant" and next to it was a photo of antidepressants with the title "This is a lifelong addiction." I can't tell you how wrong this is in one blog post. Because of ignorant people making this, … Continue reading Stop Spreading The Stigma!
Bloom
As human beings, we get asked millions of questions in our lifetime. But there's one I want to focus on that we get asked a lot: Who are you? Who am I? We always state the obvious things: the facts about ourselves. Our name, age, where we grew up, how many children we have, pets, … Continue reading Bloom

Looking Back
As I look back on 2017, so many negative things happened. But if I focus on the negative, the positive is just dust in the wind. So I want to focus only on the positive. I want to start from the beginning if that's okay. Just a recap of my year. In January, I had … Continue reading Looking Back
Being Thankful
Today is Thanksgiving. We cook a bunch of food, dress up, eat a mountain of food and desserts, watch football and the Macy's parade, play backyard football, and then take a long nap. But what most of us forget to do is to be thankful, which is what today is all about. Why do we forget … Continue reading Being Thankful
Finn’s Fight
Saturday, October 7 was my birthday. It wasn't a day I was particularly looking forward to, because every birthday of mine just isn't great. I would say that this year was no different, but I'd be lying - it was worse. When I adopted my dog, Finn, in December 2016, I took him straight to the … Continue reading Finn’s Fight
