Dopeness That Keeps Me Healthy

Dopeness That Keeps Me Healthy

If my potty mouth offends, excuse it. It’s my intentional rebellion against acceptable lexicon, but, if any young (under 18) ladies are reading this post, please, keep your mouth clean. Speaking of clean! I’ve gotten a lot of inquiries about how my vegetarian journey is going, and it’s great! I feel lighter (literally, weird side effect is that I’ve lost 4 pounds this week) and I sleep better. Besides fruits and vegetables, there are some go-to foods and herbal medicinals that keep ME healthy. Disclaimer: I’m in no way, shape or form, a healthcare professional. Just a journo who keeps…

Meet Me on the Trail: Rocky Mountain National Park

Meet Me on the Trail: Rocky Mountain National Park

If you know me, or have followed my blog at all over the years, you know I’m a nature savant, a hiking impresario, a pine master, you get it. I love long trails and anything having to do with the outdoors. A little while back I traveled to Denver, CO with my daddy.

We drove to Estes Park, CO to go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Now my daddy is older, he…
