the mid-day sun. We were hiking up the Arizona Trail in the Grand Canyon for almost two hours. My brother and cousin were running up ahead, trying to race each other to the top of the 13-mile trail. My dad kept yelling at the two of them to slow down and wait for us. I knew the three of them wanted to go faster but kept having to wait for me. I was too tired and sore to even care at that point. Muscles I never knew I had were being overworked and the heat was unbearable—hiking in peak-August…

different state and started the new journey of change. Change is never easy but it took baby steps and a lot of reflection, and forgiveness. I didn’t know who I was at 38, or what I liked to do. I began making a bucket list and doing a lot of hiking. Hiking alone with my thoughts is the best therapy ever. As I did more…

always scared me, but never like these past few years have. On October 15, 2012, my grandma of age 72 passed away in her home with her loving husband by her side. My world was shattered. My grandma was my cooking, sleepover, dress up, laughing and hiking buddy. She was the woman I looked up to the most.
