Let's Go For A Hike

Hiking through the canyons of LA I realized;
I love nature,
I don’t like rocks in my shoes,
Jackhammers are twice as loud at 8am,
And it’s better to stretch before a three mile hike––unless you enjoy muscle spasms.

Hike and a Latte

Steady climb up hill,

Drenched with sweat, covered in dirt.

I earned a latte!

Rise and Hike!

I love waking up early in LA-

The sun is still hiding behind the morning marine layer,

The streets are calm, and so am I.

A hike through the hills surrounding my house,

It's easy to meditate and enjoy the magical Los Angeles skyline.

I'm reminded of how gorgeous LA is.

As I take in the smell of the jasmine and lavender that fill the air, 

I appreciate how easy life can be.

I'm inspired to keep my calm, focused, energy throughout the day.

Now is the perfect time to create!

Beautiful Day...

Up at the crack of dawn.

Hiking while the sun rises;

Birds chip, 

Trash trucks beep,

The distant sound of cars racing to work.

The view from the hills above Sunset Boulevard is stunning.

Spring is here...

It's a gorgeous day in LA!

Take A Hike!

When moments of chaos ensue-

I need to clear my mind.

I allow myself to get caught up in patterns;

Trying to accomplish too much in too short a time.

Stress, doubt and fear begin to rule.

The pressure will eventually build. 

I get lazy!

That won't help matters.

It's times like this when I need to step away from the iPhone Calendar...

And go take a hike!

Saturday Morning Hike

Roll out of bed.
Throw on workout clothes-
Force myself out the door;
It starts off slow.
Before I know it my thighs are burning,
Sweat rolling into my eyes,
Knees feel like I must be seventy years old;
It's been a while since my last hike!
Almost to the peak;
The view is beautiful!
Los Angeles-
I love this city!
Why don't I do this more often?
