We’ve all been there: forgetting one single item that it turned out we needed most. Like that time you met up with your friends at the beach, and only remembered half of your bikini; got to the gym and only had one sock in your bag; went for a hike and left your shoes by the door; or took a shower at the office and forgot your hairbrush. As cliché as the phrase goes, preparation really is ...

Complete and utter way-out-there solitude isn’t for everyone. A simple motivation to leave your phone in the car for a few days might be plenty—to swap it out for the crackle of campfire, soft echo of neighbors, and the satisfying sense of being outside with no doors to walk through. A loose plan that involves hiking something mellow and grilling later can be better than picking up and setting ...

In a few short days, spring will be upon us once again. The weather in each area across the globe is significantly different; however, I feel deep warmth within my heart from the longer days and sunshine that Colorado has already been pouring down upon us here this last week.Extended days and warmer climate brings about lots of fun things such as spending more quality time outside with the kids, ...

Gender stereotypes begin at birth. Just last week, I saw a post on my Facebook page of a sonogram of the baby inside my friend’s wife’s belly. The picture was posted with a status update that read, “we are going to have tutu much fun with our little girl,” and the baby’s black and white image was dressed in a pink tutu with a pink bow on her tiny head. The post got me thinking about how this baby ...

So, what am I going to do to make 2015 one of my best years yet? I’m so glad you asked!Flashback to midnight on January 1st, 2015: the ball has dropped, toasts have been made, and we have embraced to the sounds of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ blasting from the ...

Five years ago I was living in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, enjoying my mojitos and crystal clear beach water almost every weekend. Ft. Lauderdale beach was essentially my backyard. I LIVED for the water and tried every water sport, from lobster diving to wakeboarding.They were all great, but the one thing that kept me coming back for more was stand up paddleboarding (SUP). If you've never tried ...

I don't want to sound cliché, but fall is my favorite time of the year. I love each and every one of the changes fall brings: the noticeable changes outdoors, like crunchy leaves on the ground and cooler, crisper, fresher air; and the less noticeable changes we experience, like longing for throwing on an over-sized, comfy sweater and eating a warm bowl of chili on a Sunday afternoon.Fall slows us ...

This past weekend, I did something I never thought I would do: hike a fourteener solo.If you would have told me last year at this time how much my life would be changing in the next year (and that I would be hiking a fourteener alone in twenty fourteen), I would have laughed.
