I look around at the tall maples swaying in the breeze, the people lounging on the lawn, some in hammocks strung between trees, the numerous individuals reading or chatting on park benches, and the many walkers and runners and roller-bladers traversing the park’s perimeter. In the distance, toward the other side of the park, we see families and groups of friends gathering for afternoon picnics and potlucks.

We take a selfie, capturing a moment of a happy and proud and emotion-riddled mom with her all-grown-up daughter. A daughter who is about to embark on an entirely new and exciting path.

Everything everywhere all at once. And I’ve got the emotions to prove it. 🥹💗☀️🥰😭

Times like these call for moments in the woods and on the trails. Thank goodness for peaceful, slow, sweaty, soul-satisfying miles.🏃🏻‍♀️
Just keep moving.

How is running and movement helping you these days?

It’s weekend! And the unofficial start to summer! ☀️🙌🏻

In honor of this beloved race weekend, I’m sharing a special essay, a letter to Emma, that I wrote awhile back (how is 10 years already?!), the day before she ran her very first half marathon here in Traverse City.

Plus, I share what followed this major accomplishment for Emma, running-wise. Hint: the podcast episode link I share at the end of this essay will fill you in on a very big race she finished just a couple of years later.

Happy Bayshore weekend to those who celebrate! If you’re running one of the distances, I wish you all the best and I hope the run is all that you hope for and need it to be! And if you’re spectating, know that your support and your encouragement are everything. Have a blast, everyone! And runners, remember you are strong and amazing and you’ve got this. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏾‍♂️

A most beautiful day. ☀️

I love my job. I love this stunning place we get to call home. Michigan, you are gorgeous. 🌊

First truly spring-like day, here in the Yoop. A fully accessible, new boardwalk to the most awe-inspiring views of an iconic Great Lakes location that holds a very special place in my heart. ❤️

(Stay tuned for more! I have a story to tell…)

My beautiful girl, Dr. !
💚🤍

What a day, what a weekend, what a journey that my girl has been on and I have had the privilege of witnessing and being part of. That’s it, just watching. It’s all her.

Thank you for letting me come alongside. (How did these past 4 years go by so fast anyway? I still remember helping you move to Grand Rapids, into the Oakwood…I think it was yesterday).

So proud of you, my sweet girl. We love you so much. We loved celebrating you and all that you have accomplished! Onward and upward, and I can’t wait to help you with your next move! ❤️

And, Go Green! Always! 💚🤍

Next up: NYC! 🤍 (Road trip!!) You are going to be the best emergency medicine doctor, ever. 👩🏼‍⚕️
