The Blog's purpose

Hello dear reader,

Not sure what brought you here but wanted to start off with a quick introduction to my newest blog. I have made a few attempts at blogs; all of them pretty miserable.  This blog's purpose is to serve as a place for me to post pictures and write about my adventures without using up the news feed on Facebook.  Not all of my family and friends use face book so this interface may serve a better purpose.

Why the seemingly contradictory title? I spent a better part of an hour trying to find a blog title and domain name that was available.  I really wanted to include the verse from Psalm 46:10 which states" Be still and know that I am God."  It is a verse I recite in my head often during times when I am overstimulated or anxious about life being out of my control.  The title "Be Still" and "Psalm 46" were not available. Later maybe I will try to see who took those names away from me! My husband worked with me on the final title.  It does seem a bit silly to be still and hike-one can't physically be still and actually be hiking.  This fits me very well though as when my mind is most still is when I am hiking.  Grammatically, that last sentence is a mess but leaving it be. I guess the title reminds me of the revival of the "Be Calm and Carry On" messages but personalized for my strong faith and obsession with hiking.  Ok, going to post the first picture to go with this blog and try to get another post up tomorrow!!


This above picture is of me on a small mountain near Colorado Springs, visible in the top right, called Mount Cutler.
