The other half and I have been geocaching now since 2019. If you don’t know what geocaching is, well, there is a blog post I wrote about that. But this is a post in what I will hope will be a series of posts about the lessons of life that I have learned while doing […]

Life Lessons from Geocaching: Adventure awaits
The other half and I have been geocaching now since 2019. If you don’t know what geocaching is, well, there is a blog post I wrote about that. But this is a post in what I will hope will be a series of posts about the lessons of life that I have learned while doing […]
Just breathe
A couple weeks ago, I had a very crazy day at the full time job. The hustles and bustles of the job left me feeling like my head was spinning. I paused for a brief minute when I had the moment to get a long and much needed drink of water and calm the spinning […]
Oh to grace
The other day I was supposed to go on a hike with a few friends on a little used trail through the woods in one of the local parks. My intention was to replace a geocache that had been hidden and then lost. But alas, life had other plans. Mother Nature dumped nearly half a […]
Christmas time is here again
It’s the 4th of December. My little swath of the Midwest is dealing with some wintry wonderland weather. We had a snowstorm that dumped more than a half foot of snow on us this past weekend and today the wind chill is below zero degrees Fahrenheit. It looks like Christmas outside. Inside, the tree is […]

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks in my life, so I haven’t been doing much writing on my socials. But I am still here. I am still writing. In fact, I almost have a short story done and am about to release another novella in my Portals Series. I still hike and geocache as […]
Find what fills your cup
This past Sunday, I skipped church. I do that from time to time. Either I wake up feeling icky and don’t want to infect others or had a very late night because of work and just don’t want to get going in the morning. Sometimes I am out of town or have something important that […]
Go Beyond
The other half and I have been geocaching for six years now. But it wasn’t until recently that we found a greater community of geocachers. We had a couple of friends that cached (in fact, one of them GOT us into geocaching). But when it came to actually meeting the people who were hiding the […]
The human world… it’s a mess
The other day, I decided to try a new trail that’s near my tiny abode here in my little swath of the Midwest. It’s called Denmans Woods. And the most important thing I want to point out is that Denmans Woods trails were designed for mountain bikers. While anyone can use the trails, they are […]
Trails and faith
I like to hike. And while I often revisit the familiar, I also like to explore places in my little swath of the Midwest that are new to me. But sometimes, the paths meander and I get lost, like we all do. I find I have to retrace my steps and find the correct trail. […]
