The beauty was extraordinary!!! But, I really didn't expect to hike in snow THE ENTIRE TIME!! My body complained within 5 minutes of this 7 km hike😂
At one point, more than the halfway mark, I froze with fear; too dangerous to go back down the slippery slope I just managed to climb, and not able to conceptualize a way forward and up. I sat frozen in fear.
In racing thoughts that had me envisioning broken bones, a failed business, an embarrassing rescue, a heart attack & meeting my ancestors.....🫣😨😳😐
My incredible husband, my amazing son, and my crazy puppy reminded me of the strength I possess..reminded me to just take a sec and breathe deep.
Just a few good breaths allowed me to get out of my panicked headspace, find a way to move forward, and believe that I could do it. And so I did!!!
Lessons: Pack a jacket; wear good shoes; take water & snacks; have a crew that's got you 💕sometimes sliding is more fun than falling😜 Don't take yourself too seriously; breathe; you got this!!!
