Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
We hit the five mile mark while completing today’s round trip walk to Elk Head. Getting back on track after a seven week hiatus has given me a great sense of achievement and satisfaction while nurturing my soul. The rigor of the trail, the calmness of the forest and the intense energy of the ocean …

Between the foggy mist and the dramatic wave action this morning the ocean gave a reminder of her incredible strength. As we walked around the headland, looking down on the sea, it occurred to me just how insignificant humans really are. Our strength pales by comparison. Also of note today was the flora and fauna. …

Once you have been on the beach or fishing in the Pacific Ocean you can’t help but gain a respect for Mother Nature. I am forever in awe by the dynamics of water and how it interacts with the land or more specifically the beach. Today’s walk began at 7:15 am with a high tide …
If you ever needed an incentive to roll out of bed and get up early, witnessing the sunrise is certainly a good one. Today’s walk was enhanced by a gorgeous sunrise. I may need to make this a new goal, capturing the sunrise from different vantage points on nearby beaches. Enjoy the pics! #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego …
Nothing like a morning walk in the rain to lift one’s spirits. It always amazes me how much the weather controls who decides to get outside and move. The silver lining of inclement weather, solitude on the trails. Thank goodness for rain gear! I hope you enjoy today’s pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego #trinidadcalifornia #humboldt #humboldtcounty Our …
It’s such a joy to have our daughter Alexandra staying with us and joining me as a walking partner. I call her the “new improved version” of me because she is just that. A beautiful and smart (much taller) woman who like her brother Kalani is a great genetic mix of my husband and I. …
With a gentle push from my adult daughter, today I overcame fear and got back into my walking routine on Trinidad Head. Seven weeks ago I suffered a very traumatic experience after undergoing an oral surgery biopsy that had unexpected and traumatic complications. I had no idea what I was in for. I did not …

I vividly remember my first consultation with a massage therapist 20 years ago when I sought help for a low back injury. This was the day I started to learn how to recognize and acknowledge fatigue. Being told, “your not 21 anymore,” was a huge blow to my ego and a concept that took me …
This morning we got our first real frost of the season. As Baxter and I took our spin around the headland it was 37 degrees. I was armed with a layer of fleece and gloves. Crisp mornings like this are great for clearing your mind and pushing chaos away. I suspect we will all need …
For the second time this week (third time in the last two weeks) we had a morning rainbow. Today’s rainbow even appeared at the same time, 200 miles to the north of us on the Oregon Coast near Coos Bay, Oregon. I am seriously taking this as a sign. Better days are on the horizon! …
