The Curious Compass expedition was a success!

Working on the reading but I sure can talk. Usually about sports, food, wine and mountains.

The past four years have showed me my life’s biggest challenges and seen my oldest challenges finally being reconciled. I’ve slowly but surely become a better version of myself and know the best is always yet to come. NEVER give up and ALWAYS do the right thing. #sundayservice #🙏🏼

Some weekends I #powerpose and other weekends I jump rope in a Harem park while a bum steals my @drinko2recovery and then I step in 🐶💩 /// 🤦🏻‍♀️ #💃🏻Life is fun! #dressup #pinkdress #weddingseason

Flyin’ into the #weekend like...

#tbt to just #abovetreeline w the Yeti

I had a lot of different favorites in and around #Redding #California but I think these pics do a great job of summing up some of its best and most visited attractions: The Three Shastas, #BurneyFalls, #SundialBridge, #ShastaCaverns, #MountainBiking and the insane #garlic #burger I had at @yaksonthe5. I loved the trip so much I decided to resurrect my website (link in bio) and do a post. So now that I’m back in a “my own website” state of mind, I’ll probably be letting it flow. Oh the places we will go: These days, only 1/3 of them involve neurologists. 💁🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

Felt cute. 💁🏻‍♀️ My favorite part of this photo is the red #scar on my right shin. On April 10th I got on a mountain bike for the first time since my long stint in rehab after my second brain injury. // I used babysitting money to buy my first dual suspension mountain bike. It’s was a red @iamspecialized_mtb. I was naturally gifted, bouncing from rock to rock and remember instances of wading through ice-cold Maine river waters, protectively holding my apple red treasure up over my head. // My ability to coordinate on that level was completely lost. So on April 10th, after a bunch of balance and dexterity rehab I was apprehensive but went for it. And though I had a great day riding with Brian, on trails maintained by the @redding_trail_alliance, I wiped out many times and took a spill off a cliff! Thankfully while rolling down hill with the bike I entered a flow state and in that slow motion, was able to completely protect my head. Then I finished the ride. Chunk of my leg gone? So what. Daring to fail and test my boundaries? Priceless. I’ve come so far and it’s weird to say that and still be so far from where I started. Redding was more than a travel story (link in bio), it’s part of my recovery, and special in my heart. I feel warm and fuzzy every time I see this scar and think about that trip, and it means a hell of a lot more to me than looking cute. But come on I dress up once in a blue 🌙 so of course I’m going to share. Also, I stopped by the @jammed_up_podcast and we had a blast, so check them out and have a listen.... we go deep, and also utterly goof off. My peeps!
