This post contains two parts, a written portion, and a few little slideshows which I hope you may move through as if they were flip-books. Slideshows are ordered: An overarching update! It has been a while, and I’d like to make a resolution to be more consistent with my blog. However, I have come to…
New Beginnings
After a bit of a hiatus from maintaining my blog, I am pleased to say I am back! It has been a couple of years since my last post, for those of you following along I apologize for the cliffhanger. But let me tell you this, it’s worth it. For now, I will leave my…
Contemporary Contemplation
I am taking a course titled “British Literature” this year. I have worked my way through the greats, from Beowulf, to Shakespeare, and finally to creating some of my own work. One unit this semester titled, “Expressions” called me to visit poetry again, for the first time since junior high at Liberty Bell. The outline…
JNs? Quarantine? Summer?
I keep hearing that 2020 is canceled, or that people wish they could skip to 2021. But… Why? Above is a very privileged thought I keep having. I am so incredibly grateful to live in the Methow Valley where quarantine means being stuck on a 20+acre stretch of rolling-hilly terrain where I have a shooting…
IBU Youth & Junior World Championships
Woah! I can’t believe this was almost three months ago. It feels more and more like a dream each time I reflect back on it. Getting to ski in wonderful sunny conditions while still having a cool ribbon of snow to race on was a huge gift! Not to mention being able to look up…

Taos I had the pleasure of training with the local Taos mountain bike team after my victory at the Ride the…
Art, Because Art is Anything and Everything.
Thoughts 1 With life spinning around and rushing toward me like a tornado just off the coast of my present life I have taken a break from my blog (sadly). But I hope to be back on a semi-regular posting basis. I think that it is important for me to add that I am not…
2019 Summer Recap
This summer I learned the art of recovery, rest, and patience… or at least I was introduced to it and am working on it. I understood how to appreciate having a well and able body, some people aren’t as lucky as me and all of the other athletes I compete and train with. Every day…

With my last post being in early March I have since then traveled to XC Junior Nationals held in Anchorage Alaska, Biathlon Nationals in Jericho Vermont, the Liatoppen Festival in Norway(biathlon); I rode through a full season with the Washington Student Cycling League, was…
