Unrepentant Tree Hugger

I've spent the last few days in San Francisco. I'm not going to lie-- if I could pack up and move tomorrow, I probably would. It is a magic place. Within 45 minutes you can go from city with non-stop cultural opportunities to woods that are nothing short of fairy tale amazing. I think it's safe to say that I kind of fell in love. The city inspires you to be a better person and member of the planet. That may sound like a massive overstatement to some, but for me it's the simple truth. While there you see how easy it is to live as a responsible member of the planet-- composting, organic, recycling, etc-- are all common place and in fact expected throughout the city.
And then, then there's the outdoors. Holy cow! It is spectacular!! The coast, the woods, the hills and mountains all inspire me to MOVE and oddly to be still and know that there is something far greater than me ( I say God,) at work in the universe. Oh man, I am such a hippy. I can run, but I can not hide from my inherent nature, thank goodness :)
San Francisco and the surrounding area inspired me to be a healthier me and an even more adventurous me. It inspired me to become more proactive in my approach to being a citizen of this planet. I can't change the world, but I can impact my corner and I plan to.

So, I've been away

I've been away from the blog for a while now and there's a reason other than laziness, I swear. Really. Here's the scoop--
As you may know I've been reckoning with ITBS (not IBS, very different) which is a total pain, literally.Google it. In addition to that, I am in South Florida and in Summer it is the approximate temperature of hell. These two things combined are bigger than my will. And so, I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I'm not sure. I'm really not, but I know I need to do something other than waiting around for my legs to cooperate with me.
And so, the title of the blog needs to change, don't you think? But to what? Thoughts? Insights? Feel free to offer your input. The content will change as well, obviously, but I feel like it needs to keep going. Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see.
Other than not running, it's been a good Summer. I've gone road tripping, visited with friends and am now getting ready to head off to San Francisco for the first time. I'll catch you up on those bits in the near future, with pics and everything :)
