The view from the bottom

It was so nice to finally get away to camp in the backcountry. It’s been far too long. I had the chance this past weekend to visit one of my favorite places. From where we were, you could see the tip of one of the highest peaks in the park. The peak certainly wasn’t climbed… Continue reading The view from the bottom

My Invisible Illness

I’ve written about the outdoors and it’s benefits to people from all walks of life. I’ve written about my love for including people with disabilities in outdoor activities. I’ve written about being authentic, yet I’m not sure I have been. I know I’ve alluded to my own disability, but I haven’t really written about it… Continue reading My Invisible Illness

Self care

Hey everyone! I felt like I should post an update since things around here have been pretty quiet this summer! About a month ago, I got my head bumped pretty good. I didn’t realize that how I was feeling was connected, but when I finally got checked out, it turns out that I’m healing from… Continue reading Self care

And now for something entirely different.

This blog was originally started to motivate people with physical and mental disabilities. I think this counts perfectly because last night I attended a show in Brantford where two people spoke about the challenges they face with brain injury. I had seen Melanie’s show at a local comedy night before, and already knew she’s hilarious.… Continue reading And now for something entirely different.

Hands Across the Water 

What an amazing day we all had!  I’d been super excited about this event for some time now and it was finally here!  I decided to camp overnight at Earle Rowe Provincial Park where the event was being held. I don’t have many pics of that because I came super late and it was so… Continue reading Hands Across the Water 

Renegades

I was listening to the radio the other day when this song came on. The song isn’t so much what I wanted to tell you about, but rather the video.  You’ve got to see this.  I was at work a while back and someone showed it to me.  I’d heard the song a hundred times… Continue reading Renegades

Depression and Social Media

A friend of mine shared a very poignant video with me this morning. It’s a smidge long, but I felt compelled to watch it in its entirety once he started speaking. I’ve alluded to how I feel about this before, but I’m starting to think my focus on the blog was not what I’d originally… Continue reading Depression and Social Media

What you see is what you get. AKA Being authentic in the online world. 

Sometimes it feels difficult in the online universe to really be yourself. Or to really want to be yourself. If that makes sense? Since I started this blog, I’ve made so many good connections. I’ve stumbled on travel blogs from other countries with amazing pictures, athletes, models etc. It’s so nice to see that there’s… Continue reading What you see is what you get. AKA Being authentic in the online world. 

Challenges and benefits

I’ve been having fun lately tinkering with videos.  I’m not really sure what people like… Videos?  Pictures?  Text?  I’m just going with what I like doing, and I’m hoping that it’s helpful somehow.  I plan on doing my thing regardless, being authentic and whatnot; but I always welcome feedback 😊 (and questions! I’m working on… Continue reading Challenges and benefits
