DO YOU GET OCCASIONAL KNEE PAIN WHILE WALKING?

MANY PAINS IN THE BODY ORIGINATE FROM THE FEET! Even being a daily walker and hiker for decades, I still get annoying little aches and pains. I have a go-to remedy for most minor joint and knee pains... you know… the minor “tweak” that just pops up out of nowhere? This solution is kind of

40-MILE UWHARRIE TRAIL THRU-HIKE VIDEOS

Here's a short video of my 40-mile walk in the Wild Woods of the Uwharrie Trail! The weather could not have been better, the trail is in terrific condition, and I met a lot of great, new friends! Thank you to the Three Rivers Land Trust staff, volunteers, and trail angels, as well

I am heading out in a few days to hike the 40-mile Uwharrie National Recreational Trail (UNRT). I am thrilled to be exploring a new trail in a completely unfamiliar area! Investigating new places is such an exhilarating adventure because you just never know what you might

FOOT CARE FOR WALKERS (& THE JOY OF CARRYING THE PERFECT MULTITOOL!)

In the chapter on “Foot Care,” in my recently published book, WildWood Magic: Walking as a Sacred Path, I discuss ways to keep the feet healthy and happy. Underappreciated and often overlooked as a peculiar-looking appendage, they can take you wherever you wish to go! When it comes to walking, hiking, backpacking… or really any

Being a self-proclaimed mountain addict, I am often less excited about my walks when I’m in a city. But every day, I am reminded that BEAUTY IS EVERYWHERE!! #onmywalktoday #urbanmagic #spring #blueskies #kindnessiseverything #beautyiseverywhere #wildwoodmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/COGD3JkBArk/?igshid=19w68eft15dyi

MEANDERING DOWN THE PATH...

Lately, I have been examining my {nearly default} state of feeling like I’m in a hurry. This feels like a learned pattern/habit from times when it felt appropriate ...or even desirable to always be in a hurry. Possibly, I had a subconscious belief that my worth was connected to my level of productivity... or something
