False Summits

Welcome to my new blog, False Summits. It's my personal effort to stay grounded in a world that seems to be flying out of control and randomly headed for a massive collision at any time. It's not about climbing mountains. At a time when I feel like I'm moving into a different phase of my life, I wanted to write my deeper thoughts and the random ideas that cross my mind, no matter how weirdly shocking, outrageous, and unusual they are. In life, we often think we are right- and then get proven wrong. You can never assume anything. That’s another reason I gave the blog its name. Life is a series of false summits. But that means we get to keep climbing and rising higher. I'm a better than 55 year old woman, an ultrarunner, and much more. I like to think I still have meaningful, utilitarian, and functional experiences and thoughts that are valuable for people to learn from or are worth sharing. I'm finding myself discarding a lot of things that no longer serve me...
