Hikes 25 & 26 complete!
Knocked out Pleasantville Loop on Saturday, then treated myself to some ice cream at Prigel Farm Creamery. Wrapped up the weekend with a great hike at Northwest Branch with Outdoor Afro DMV — solid workout and even better company.

Swapped the hiking boots for a paddle today! Had a blast kayaking with @Outdoor Afro DMV at Loch Raven. Nothing like good vibes and calm water to recharge the soul.

Hike 20/52
Rain chased everyone else away—my first solo hike!
Just me, the trees, and an impromptu forest concert 🎶 (I sang all the songs).
When no one else shows up, show up for yourself.

Hike 19/52 — Linked up with TheHikeCrew for some good vibes and forest bathing at the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail. Trees were talking, spirits were lifted, and miles were earned. Nature really gets me.

Spent the day in DC celebrating Black history & excellence! Visited the Motor Green Book exhibit at the MLK Library, then saw the Quilts by Black Women at the Renwick—powerful stories stitched into every piece. A reminder of resilience, creativity, and legacy.

My role does not allow me to disconnect completely from the madness and my body is holding the stress. This is my constant reminder that rest and self care must always be prioritized.
