Self indulgent musings of a working mom with a running habit and a weakness for trails. Sunday, October 14, 2012. On my 38th birthday I realized that I had just been drifting though my academic and work life. I did things out of habit, routine, necessity. I was no longer having fun or feeling excited about life. I was nearly FORTY and what adventures had I had? What dreams had I fulfilled? I put pen to paper. Next thing I knew, I crafted a bucket list. What a FUN, eclectic list it was! DARE TO DREAM BIG! .

Every August, hikers from all across Washington sign up to grind out the miles and raise money for WTA to protect and maintain our beloved trails and wild areas. If you want to help support me and Washington Trails Association, click here.
