My love of nature and the ability to move join together to make my morning walks and trips to hiking paths at state parks, historical sites, and trails a match that make my heart happy… I live in the country on 7 acres, I know every inch of it. It is my happy zone. I have benches in places so I can sit, rest, and watch the trees, birds, and squirrels as I raise my step count.

To understand my love for movement and walking and hiking, first i want to tell you 34 years ago i was in an accident,  was paralyzed from waist down told is never walk again, but God said, wait a minute, lets see… after a year of chiropractor treatment,  a lot of prayer, and the goodness of God… I was back moving. I have been on a 30 plus years journey of evolving and while I still have balance issues and use a hemi walker, I move. God does that.

So, my favorite exercise and physical activity is walking… something most people never think about, a movement that is just normal, for me is a gift. The sun is out, its cold here in the Deep south of Georgia this morning, good walking weather. I’m fixing to head out and walkabout the acres, maybe hit a trail Sunday at one of the parks for an adventure.
