I love living in the PNW and my favorite area is the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsula’s. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to love about the mainland and Seattle — I’ll be sharing my special off the beaten track discoveries in due time. But the love I have for little quaint towns where you feel like you’re visiting someplace special, calls to me. That’s why Poulsbo, WA is right at the top of my list of favorites!

Hurricane Ridge is calling, I must go!

October 1, 2022

Oh my goodness, friends! I am so excited to tell you all about one of the best places to hike in the wilderness of western Washington!

As someone who absolutely adores hiking, I had the opportunity to visit Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park with my husband and a special family friend that was visiting from out of town.

I fell in love with kayaking about 4 months after cancer treatment ended. I had heard that doing any exercise with a rowing motion helps clear lymph nodes in your chest and axillary area, which led me to wanting to take a kayak for a test drive. Plus, I needed to start moving my body to shed the 60lbs that I had gained from the cocktail of meds that go through our bodies during treatment and I knew it would provide me a wonderful opportunity to better my health. It didn’t take long and I was all in!

I remember speaking with a web designer I had collaborated with on a few projects about a sabbatical that he took a while back. He had felt himself burning out and decided that he wanted to take six months totally away from his job. Now, few of us can just walk away from our work for half a year, but he planned it out and made preparations so that he could make it happen. He looked hard at his budget and made some changes so he could save some money and give himself a cushion that would allow him to go without any income during his time off. He admitted to me that it was difficult, but workable, and he did take that time off after about a year of working and saving. Read more
