Reluctant WordPress developer

When it comes to my personal or volunteer life, one of my favorite things to do is learn something new. I love to dive into a project with no clue how to do it because I love the process of figuring it out. It is definitely a significant source of joy for me. However, when…

Biking like a kid again

Dad and I didn’t often see eye-to-eye, but I’ll always remember his being there when I rode my bike without training wheels for the first time. Such a classic childhood moment when you first feel that sense of mastery and independence. Riding my bike would become a happy place throughout my childhood and into my…

I Bike Friendly

You may have heard the term bike-friendly which is used by the League of American Bicyclists in official designations for states, communities, businesses or universities. The new advocacy group we have started here in Greenville, Bike Walk Greenville, is working to make our county both more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. When it comes to biking around town,…

Some innocent times can be recaptured

The Women Bike program of the League of American Bicyclists has been posting some pictures showing biking as a great way to achieve New Year’s resolutions. My favorite was the resolution to feel like a kid again. That is definitely a big part of how I approach exercise. I want to recapture that time in…

Winter break joys

Today I stumbled on the Barnes & Noble at Furman. I was on a lovely walk through the campus and along the lake when I spied books in the window I was passing. My focus turned from enjoying the beautiful day and creatures along the lake to the alternate delight of the campus bookstore. As…

Gray days of winter

Sure, we aren’t having days full of blue skies and gorgeous color but I’m thrilled to be out on my bike with minimal effort to keep warm. Snuggly jacket, wool socks, fuzzy cap under my helmet. Only thing I’m missing is a nice pair of chic winter cycling gloves. Much to my frustration I haven’t…

Making space for new beginnings

I intended to write this post yesterday when we announced the closing of our website Carolina Cycling News. I wanted the end of 2012 to be focused on good-bye’s and the start of 2013 to be focused on new things emerging in the space created by letting go. However, life doesn’t really divide up in…

Sending birthday wishes to my sister Julie as I lo Sending birthday wishes to my sister Julie as I look at the beautiful crescent moon tonight, imagining her dancing among the clouds in celebration. I've been thinking of her all day. Remembering my visit to her name at the Cancer Survivors Park last December when I was touched to find that someone had left a flameless candle near her. I think of her every time a butterfly joins me on a walk. Love you Sis ❤️🦋🌙

Nature is a source of inspiration for me so Mary O Nature is a source of inspiration for me so Mary Oliver has been one of my favorite poets. Every morning I enjoy the trees and today the sun shining brightly through leaves as fiery colors begin to emerge. Today these words from her poem “Starlings in Winter” grabbed me as I’m feeling restlessly ready to let go of grief. “I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, I feel my heart pumping hard. I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.” In addition to personal losses, we’ve all been going through collective grief as we cope with the pandemic. Links to Mary Oliver’s full poem, a video of the amazing starlings murmurations that inspired the poem, and an article on collective grief are in my bio. #maryoliver #grief #nature
