Writing
Wholehearted writing (and depression on the Appalachian Trail)
April 17, 2017
We go through experiences that wear us down to our core, and break our shell. And these experiences, like my long distance hike, will show us what's operating below the surface of our lives. And it won't be your goodness that will help light the path through this wreckage, it will be your courage.
Appalachian Trail & Adventure Journaling at Outsideways
April 11, 2017
While we were hiking I kept a trail journal. I wrote it in almost every day. I recorded our mileage, where we camped and notable points along the trail. I wrote about the people we met.

Homeschooling through High School, blog organization, and designing a life
