I went on a hike a little bit ago. I was enjoying the early morning quiet as we loped along, disrupting early morning dew and watching the mountain we would climb become more and more visible as the fog burned away. (There are wildflowers everywhere this time of year because of El Niño. If you ever…

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept
I have a challenge for you. I’ve been watching the November Gratitude challenges on social media. I really like these challenges. I like that for ten seconds people are stopping to think about what they are grateful for. People are often grateful for friends and family and their mental, physical, and emotional health. They’re grateful for their…
Off The Mat Moment
I’m obsessed with cairns. I recently learned that some people HATE them. “It’s human ego, we cannot go anywhere without leaving a mark.” “They’re dangerous for hikers.” “It reminds us that people were there before us.” “It’s nature graffiti.” (I also love graffiti.)

My Left Hand is a Ginger Step-Child
Summer is Million-Dollar Brynne Season. I think it’s because I’m cold-blooded and I need the sunshine to learn what it’s like to be a fully functioning human being after the pits of winter. I start lots of new things in the summer. It’s really my resolution season. I’m cutting caffeine (gulp), sugar, and alcohol out my…

According to some, this body arrangement allows better circulation and lower blood…
