Here's to Blogger


Up until a few months ago most of the blogging I have ever done had to do with a particular home business I was involved in or a particular mlm/network marketing training or philosophy. Although what I was sharing I believe was informative and helpful and perhaps necessary for me to drum up a few leads, I just never felt it was personal enough. It kind of felt sterile.

In March I joined Blogger about the time of spring training in baseball, and I just thought it would be fun to write about something light and fun for a change, so I did a blog on baseball. I was right, it was not only fun, it felt like a great release as well. It, what should I say, woke up part of me, that appeared to be somewhat asleep. Part of me felt a little guilty that I wasn't writing about the business I was involved with, but after giving if some deep thought, I decided that there were many other parts of me that could use a wake up call and since then I have been having a great time blogging and sharing my interests.

My biggest problem now is what interest I should write about next. I had forgotten how many things in life that really bring me pleasure. This itself has been worth starting this blog. To open my mind again to these many great parts of me, and share it with the world. Laughing out loud, well maybe not the world, but the few people that find it interest enough to read it.

I feel somewhat reborn, and can't wait to dig into some old parts of me that have been lying dormant. This is probably not the most exciting post, but I just wanted to express what Blogger has done for me. I'm just being myself and loving it. If that means a mlm/network marketing post from time to time, that is part of me to. I encourage everyone to share their passions on blogger. It has been very, very good to me.

Hiking is Good For the Soul


When I need a break from the phone calls, conference calls, meeting and just life in general the first thought I have is to take a hike. Northeast Wisconsin has a lot of great places to hike and many levels of hiking for the novice to the gung ho hiker. There is just something about getting out on some quite trail that frees the mind and soothes the soul. I do some of my best and creative thinking just walking along taking in nature, and usually without even trying. It all comes so naturally in nature.

There have been times when I have been bogged down with a problem or situation and I just want to get away from it, and low and behold a solution or an idea pops into my head. This is just one testimony on the beauty of hiking.

Some of the other benefits of visiting a hiking trail are getting great exercise and burning calories or course, seeing wildlife and nature, and most important just getting in touch with your soul. It's a such a great feeling that I wanted to put it into this blog so that everyone can know what I get out of hiking. I love it

I usually walk about 4 to 8 miles when I hike, but this is when I pre plan a hike in advance. If it's just a spur of the moment hike at a trail close to home, on a day I just need to get away, I usually keep it to 1 -3 miles. It's all really up to you. You can start slow and gradually work your way up or just take jaunts, whatever works best for your preference and/or schedule.

Some of the things I would recommend taking on a hike are as follows 1) water 2) light snack 3)cell phone, turned off, only use as needed. 4) comfortable walking shoes 5) sunscreen 6) hat and perhaps an extra shirt 7) compass. This will guarantee a safe and enjoyable hike.

There are great hiking trails all over the US and I found this website that will help you locate a trail based on many different preferences. It's also great if you are planning a vacation and want to know where some of the best scenic trails are. The site is http://www.localhikes.com/ It also offers many tips and just about anything that you can think of as far as planning a hike goes.

So with that, I'm off for another hike. I hope you get out and enjoy one soon.
