more winter adventures
Since Winter lasts 6-8 months up here I may as well keep the winter adventure stories rollin’. How about a list of some of the favorite trails I’ve explored on spike covered boots, tennis racquets, and extra long prongs? And maybe some of the ones I failed to but should have—ehh, we’ve all slipped and slid down mountains when it didn’t look quite so winteresque at the trailhead.
Winter Adventures Out West
Magical. No other word is more fitting for Yellowstone in the winter. The hoarfrost on the trees and the steam hovering over the snow with bison lurking underneath surprise and delight all your senses. Add a dogsledding tour in Big Sky and the recipe for winter adventuring is complete. My friend, Liz, and I planned an epic week together and relished every moment. The following account skims the surface of our memory-making tour in February of 2023.
Life Lessons With LK (yes, again)
Because you couldn’t possibly have gotten enough of my attempts at wisdom the first time, let’s visit a few more together. Shall we?
Thank-full Season
Welcome to the season of gratitude. A season to celebrate our abundance—socially, emotionally, and physically.
Spotlight: Sarah Edson
You never know what kinda quirky you will find at Book Group but most likely you will find a perfect match to your own. That setting leaned towards apropos for Sarah and I to meet and immediately plan adventurous outings together! We gravitated towards each other by great conversation and similar experiences then bonded over Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune with steaming mugs of hot chocolate in hand, laughter in our throats.
Life Lessons With LK
When I teach, I aim to set students up for success in life. I attempt to do this with cute, clever phrases, analogies, and wisdoms I’ve stumbled across throughout my teaching career and in life at large. Impart life's subtleties in a quiet manner. Although sometimes quite overtly. If you missed these from your own dance teacher or missed out on dance altogether, I may be bias but I do advise checking out a class sometime. While you search for one near you, here are a few notable reasons for taking that risk to walk into a studio and learn more about what your body and mind can do.
adventure buddies
Everywhere I go, each new state I live in, I hunt for an adventure buddy and not once have I regretted the attempts to do so or the relationships I discovered. In fact, other than good ole Bennie, I keep up with all my various adventure buddies and hope to create this as an ode to each of them.
