It’s all about me!

I’m a 49 year old single mother of two adult daughters, three (and a half) grandchildren, mother-in-law to a fabulous son-in-law, and daughter to a great mom. I am passionate about many things, but mostly the daily pursuit of a positive attitude, healthy living, weight loss, bicycling, walking, and some running or hiking. I love all things outdoors – regardless of the season.

On this site, I write about all the things that I am passionate about, as well as views on life in general – its hardships, joys, challenges, and relationships. I hope to inspire others on their journeys through life, wherever we may cross paths. I love how the Internet introduces us to people we’d be unlikely to meet otherwise.

During the day, I get paid to write, edit, and manage consumer content. (In other words, write a bunch of words for the software buying folk.) In my off hours, you’ll find me riding my bicycle on trails throughout the Pacific Northwest, walking or dining with friends, maybe going on hikes solo or with company, or just chillin’ at home with my little Chihuahua, Lily.

Please join me as I share with you the cadence of my life.
