Take A Hike... With Me
Photo quote de jour
scroll down for it...
I went hiking to clear my head from all the reading and writing of late. Don't say I never take you anywhere. Come along...


The trail head was blocked but that didn't stop me. The deep, granular snow made for slow trekking and I wish I'd brought my snow shoes. I found a branch for an impromptu walking stick and soldiered on fueled by fresh air and chocolate. The sight of a warm-warmed log proved to good to pass up. Sitting was good but lying down was better. Way better...

Instead of seeing things as obstacles or impossible, take a moment to breathe, turn inward and ask inside yourself, “What do you really want?” Wait for the answer. If it comes too quickly, it’s from your head and not your heart. Obstacles are often tainted with fear and limiting thinking. When your heart and your goals are aligned, you might find that the obstacles you face dissolve into joy, and nothing is holding you back. Go on...





Great words of advice and wonderful photos. I'm going to take a nap, then out in the sunshine. Lots going on.

I really like your blog because of the way you look at life and relate things to real life. Like the fact that the chocolate helps you take a walk. It does the same for me.There isn't anything better than a good walk. I try to do it every day. I don't go far but it is better than not walking at all. Got to remember to jump those hurdles in life.

Thanks. I find simple metaphors to be powerful tools for transformation. I always hike chocolate. It's my carrot on a stick
