Nature Heals

Lead With Kindness

Your friendly Hise Hikers Tuesday Tip… A little kindness goes a very LONG way. Trust me. On a recent hike, Jason and I both noted the loss of trail etiquette – no one saying “hey, behind you” or “on your left” or anything of the...

I Can and I Will

Motivation Monday: I can and I will… Remember how last week I shared about that kinda crappy hike I had and that I started to beat myself up and course-corrected to remember “a new day and new opportunities?” This past weekend was a different story....

The Wilderness Holds

Tragedy In Life
