Em on Hiking: December 2008
http://emhiking.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Trail Dames Go Hiking. When I lived in Durham NC, my hiking buddies and I frequently hiked one of the two 6-mile loops at Umstead State Park, or the 3-mile loop around Lake Johnson. Walking amongst trees, with dirt and rock underfoot, feeds my soul at levels that defy verbiage. So, I've now joined Trail Dames, and am looking forward to an outing with them. Very fun! For all of my lifetime, I have called myself a "teacher." The teaching roles have looked different at different times, but in general I'...

Em on Self-Employment: Introducing Peace Journeys
http://emselfemployment.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-peace-journeys.html
I have begun a journey to bring together several of my passions: spirituality, hiking, teaching, and coaching. I have now officially started Peace Journeys, LLC. At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, I'd like to share some details. Finally, for people who are on a journey of peace and contentment, I am focusing my coaching in the realm of spiritual integrity. This is where the rubber meets the road. So, you are really clear on your spiritual belief system; in fact, you have language for it...Next ...

Em on Hiking: Gear List for Backpacking in the Summer
http://emhiking.blogspot.com/2009/06/gear-list-for-backpacking-in-summer.html
Gear List for Backpacking in the Summer. As a public service to those who are relatively new to hiking, I have just published a free e-book in which I describe the gear I use for backpacking in the summer. The title is An Annotated Gear List for Backpacking. So, why publish it? You can search the internet and find a number of backpacking gear lists. But, most are generic, so you still have to figure out how to customize the list to you, to the trail you are hiking, and to the season when you are going.

Em on Daily Life: Still Lovin' No-Knead Bread!
http://emlifemusings.blogspot.com/2009/04/still-lovin-no-knead-bread.html
Em on Daily Life. Still Lovin' No-Knead Bread! It's been two months since I last posted and I'm still loving Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. I've settled on a favorite dough recipe for everyday use- the light wheat. Instead of 6.5 cups of white flour, one of those cups is whole wheat. Just enough to give it a tan glow. I've also gotten pretty good at making bagels, though they seem to "deflate" as they cool. Still experimenting with that. A recent blog post. Thanks, Jeff and Zoë! Subscribe to This Blog.

Em on Self-Employment: Does Alone Have to Be Lonely?
http://emselfemployment.blogspot.com/2009/02/does-alone-have-to-be-lonely.html
Does Alone Have to Be Lonely? As I work on my big ideas for 2009, I am finding that starting something new can be a lonely venture. The good news is that there are not a lot of other people doing what I want to do. The bad news is that there are not a lot of other people doing what I want to do. That means no pro forma model to follow, and few obvious people with whom I might partner. Maybe this is the most significant challenge for me in shifting from working for someone else to working for myself- the ...

The Subjectivity of Big. This quote came across my desk today:. Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core, that you can't get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, you're not setting big enough goals." - Bob Proctor. When I read this, some part of me shouts, "Amen, Brother! The good news for me is that "big" is subjective&...

Em on Self-Employment: Making It Happen or Allowing It to Unfold?
http://emselfemployment.blogspot.com/2009/01/making-it-happen-or-llowing-it-to.html
Making It Happen or Allowing It to Unfold? As I work on my big ideas for 2009, I often find myself caught in a tug of war between making something happen and allowing it to unfold. Throughout my life, I have often been rewarded for making things happen. I completed schoolwork, joined committees, held leadership roles. I was busy, busy, busy. And the emotional and financial rewards followed. As I walk this path of following my heart and creating my destiny, it often feels like I am pushing on a string....
