At the beginning of my pregnancy I said I wanted to bike into the hospital to deliver Lil C. While the birth didn't happen quite as I wanted, I did get to bike to the hospital and it all ended with Revel Wilder healthy, sleepy, and hungry in my arms. Revel Wilder came earth side … Continue reading Revel Wilder
As I head into my last few weeks of being pregnant I am working on letting go of what is not serving me. It is a constant practice for me to set boundaries, and to know when to ask for what I need and to learn when to let things go. Once again I have … Continue reading Letting go

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost two weeks since we crossed the finish line of the Patagonian Expedition Race in first place. Ever since we did the race back in 2010, it has been an event and place that has shaped my soul, my relationships and my connection to nature.
