Vermonters! Very excited to be heading your way for marathon weekend. I'll be chatting all things Oregon PCT, To the Gorge, running, and grief on Saturday at noon. More details and (free) reg: tinyurl.com/yrumf4kc
In her debut memoir "To the Gorge," Emily Halnon writes of losing her mother to cancer and their shared love of running and the outdoors. She will speak in Burlington on Saturday as part of a Vermont City Marathon event.

Wrote a fun story about how I freed myself from cubicles. Can't even tell you how much I've loved getting notes from people who are thinking about quitting their jobs/making a life change and said this hit them right where they needed it.
The Actual Worst-Case Scenario
How scary is it?

Wrote a poem inspired by the vice president’s ski trip to Vermont (the day after that meeting in the Oval Office) and the brave woman who used her platform as Sugarbush Resort’s snow reporter to share a heart-charged message about the shitstorm we’re living through.
Chance of Flurries. Resistance, Likely.
A very inspiring snow report.

Loved seeing Vermont SHOW UP. Especially Lucy Welch, who used her platform as Sugarbush's snow reporter to launch a brave act of resistance. Couldn't be more poetic that "Lucy" is derived from a Latin word for "light." In a world of despair, be a Lucy.

Lucy Welch, a hero for the moment.
