On today’s walk I could just feel the optimism in the air. On this beautiful Super Bowl Sunday people were out walking, kayaking, fishing and surfing before the big game. It’s great to be around so much energy! Mother Nature is also giving out positive vibes and energy. More signs of spring are all around. …

Today’s Walk: Acknowledging Life’s Blessings
This morning I had some uninterrupted thinking time while on my walk. Baxter is laid up; I’m not sure what he’s done but he’s limping. No heat, swelling or signs of redness/infection. Mind you, he’s a high strung Jack Russell who jumps and leaps off of everything. Keeping that boy down is difficult. I’m giving …

Today’s Walk: Mastering Motivation
Winters on the Northern California coast mean rainy days with intermittent days of sunshine. I woke up this morning to a light drizzle so Baxter and I quickly got dressed and out the door. Realizing the drizzle would turn into much more, I wanted to start walking before my willpower caved. It’s easy to lose …
Today’s Walk: Stress Busting on the Headland
I don’t know what I’d do without access to a walking route. Burning energy on the headland trails has not only helped improve my fitness level, it also has kept me sane. Life throws punches and at this time I’m going to admit that I’m at my maximum capacity. Feb 2 will be the two …

Today’s Walk: Thank Goodness for Gortex
Baxter and I braved the storm this morning and got in our walk. While we got soaking wet on the exterior, thanks to technology our gortex shells kept us relatively dry underneath. One of the beauties about walking in the rain is the solitude. The rain chases away the fair weather strollers and many of …
Today’s Walk: Braving the Storm but Staying Safe
Baxter and I took our walk in some very blustery weather this morning. There’s a big storm predicted for our region and the ocean bears testimony that it’s well on its way. The waves were big, the tide was high and the wind was blowing hard. Not a day for a walk on the beach. …

Today’s Walk: Winter is Flexing its Muscle
We received some heavy hail last night that stuck around for parts of this morning. The day started with some very chilly temperatures for our coastline; 36 degrees that felt more like 30 degrees. The back deck at our house was a sheet of ice. I realize for my friends living east of the Mississippi …
Today’s Walk: A Whole Lotta Change Going On
The show stopper for this morning’s walk was the amazing skyline and cloud cover we had. The initial blue sky morphed into quite a display while Baxter and I were out walking. There is a whole lotta change going on in our world and today’s skyline seemed to mimic all that energy. It’s been an …

Today’s Walk: Inauguration Takeaways
Wow! Whoever is on Biden’s Inauguration Team deserves big kudos for an amazing job. I had no idea I was going to cry so many tears of joy. The events inspired me, giving me comfort and great hope that our nation can move forward. It’s like the chaos of the last four years has been …
Today’s Walk: Not Your Typical January 18
This morning was absolutely stunning. By the time I finished my walk it was 63 degrees! Not your typical January 18 but we currently live in a time with so many new normals. Today is a National holiday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. I’m hoping the day provides time for reflection on our …
