Start how you mean to go on, right? January 1st, 2023: – I had everything prepared the night before, so that I could get a little extra sleep before I woke up to get ready for my hike. The group … Continue reading
Closing the Door on 2022
This year could really be broken into three sections for me. The first would be from Jan 1 to April 1, a time when I was both dealing with personal/family-related trauma while also trying to find a good medicine fit … Continue reading
