Sometimes The M Is Silent

Wednesday Wisdom: Do Your Own Thing. Not sure who needs to hear this: If you feel like you’re doing your own thing and you’re feeling lonely or others don’t get what you’re doing – that’s ok! Keep going! You’re doing it right!...

Dream Big

Your Friendly Hise Hikers Tuesday Tip: Dream Big! Do you have dreams? Have you pushed them to the back burner for one reason or another? May I encourage you to dust them off and reinvigorate your passion for those dreams? In 2016, when we committed to do our first...

Love Yourself First

Think About It Thursday: Love Yourself First. I workout hard every day and challenge myself to see what my body is capable of doing. I challenge myself in every training hike, snowshoeing adventure, and outdoor opportunity I get to connect more deeply with God,...

Sweet Spot

Motivation Monday: Find The Sweet Spot. I’ve recently noticed that on our neighborhood 5.2-mile training trek, our third mile is our ‘sweet spot’ where things feel easiest (or maybe the least challenging). I found it interesting enough to kind of...

Soothe My Soul

Friday Fun: Do What Soothes Your Soul. When I’m out in nature, my soul is happy. Like REALLY happy. I feel content. I feel a sense of l joy and peace that words can’t describe. I feel at home. I feel most connected to God. In fact, a few years ago, we were...

Go For It

Your Friendly Hise Hikers Tuesday Tip… Go For It! A few years ago, we decided to see what snow camping was all about. Our thought process was that since we hike in the Sierras and the weather can change without warning, it would be good education to afford us...

Glorious Greeting

Motivation Monday: Do More Of What You Love. One of my favorite times in the morning is when the sun catches the tops of the mountains… before I can actually see the sun fully up. This picture was taken as we were hiking up a ridge in Yosemite on our 75-mile...

Masterpiece

Think About It Thursday: Your Masterpiece. Over the past several months, I’ve been working on a lot of creative projects in my business… You’ve seen a bit about my card decks. I’m currently working on revamping one of my popular 5-day...

Gemstone Of This Universe

Wednesday Wisdom: You Are A Gemstone Of This Universe… The other day, I got to thinking about gems, stones, and minerals… That probably happened because Jason and I watch a few different shows about mining… from gold to rubies and diamonds to opals...

Inertia And Embrace

Your Friendly Hise Hikers Tuesday Tip: Reaching The Inertia Point. There comes a point on every hike… whether 75-mile backpacking trip, day hike or otherwise, when we hit the “halfway” point and I liken it to coming to the crest of a roller...

Patience And Persistence

Friday Fun: Getting Lessons From Nature. I pay attention to the lessons nature has to offer, especially when they tend to repeat. Jason and I notice a lot of hawks in our 5.2-mile everyday neighborhood trek. We notice that they watch from where they are perched. They...

Be Kind To Yourself

Wednesday Wisdom: Part Of The Process. In a conversation with a friend recently, I had shared some of the emotional challenges I was experiencing, and while they held the space for me to share, I came to the realization that I’m in a huge growth mode right now....

Thoughts And Emotions

Your Friendly Hise Hikers Tuesday Tip: Allow The Emotions. I’ve had an emotional few days. You know, the kind of days where everything feels fine them WHAM… knocked on my a$$ by super-powerful emotions. It started Saturday night with a terrible nightmare...

Believe In Yourself

Friday Fun: Believe In Yourself. 2020 was an interesting – and epic – hiking year for us. We were invited, both at the last minute, to climb Mt. Whitney and on a 3-day backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon – a few months apart. I had always had this...

Embrace Your Weird

Think About It Thursday… Embrace Your Weird. We have hiked Freel Peak 3 times. Last year (when this photo was taken) we also bagged the next peak, Job’s Sister (there are 3 peaks in this area called “The Three Sisters”). We consider the trek up...
