What’s everyone’s advice on hiking in country that has a very very high number of grizzly & black bears? I will be living in a place where it’s very likely that I will see them on the trail. It has me scared shitless to the point that I almost want to give up hiking. It’s got me SO stressed out. I will be packing heat (my gun) & bear spray. Bears are so unpredictable & I ain’t tryin to be a snack. •

Did a little photo shoot fun with my talented friend @heidiventurine_ in company of some of my original @skatydoodles pups. It’s true, a picture can say a 1000 words. #Skatydoodles #supportlocal #talentedfriends #pnw #getoutside #ihike #upperleftusa #notmyfurkids #aussie #lab #chessie #snow #motherofdogs

——————————————————————
This is a 6...almost 7, year difference. 6 years of active living, too. I was always working out. I always knew I was a little heavier than the girls my age, so I always put in some kind of effort into my physical being.
——————————————————————
What I learned, though, is sometimes the exterior won’t change, until the interior is ready. I had to get my heart, mind and soul aligned. I had to redirect my focus from things and people I couldn’t change and focus on the things I could. ME.! My mind. My body.
——————————————————————
I was always focusing on doing the right things, doing things the right way. But sometimes we focus too much on what’s supposed to happen the way we want it to, or expect it to, that we overlook the things that are going wrong. Even the smallest detail of our lives reflect where we are in life. Our addictions, our habits, our weaknesses are all results of the way we think, see and feel about ourselves. What’s important is that we take notes and apply them to the next chapter. Reset. Reevaluate. Recharge. Refocus

I had to reset a few years ago, and I’m resetting now. #amileaday Challenge starts tomorrow.!! Me and an awesome group of people are making sure we take a small amount of time out of our day to do something that benefits no one else, but ourselves. Our bodies, our mental and our spirits. You can walk, run, jog, go on the elliptical, treadmill, track, bike...whatever gets you moving.!! For 1 mile. 1 mile a day. That’s it.! You ready.?!? #amileaday
