I'm just an average Joe in a world of other average Joes (and Josies). As I age, I find more wisdom from this world & my direction course corrects itself. Last year, my closest friend of nearly 35 years passed away after a valiant battle w/ cancer (the most viscous of brain cancers, glioblastoma, eventually got ahead of him). I found myself looking at life through a very different lens. The concept of "self-care" quickly climbed the ladder. Not only for myself, also for my family and friends. Thus began the journey. I'm in search of, what I like to call the "trifecta of living"....peace of mind, peace of body and peace of spirit. I stumbled across rucking in late 2021 and went with it. I invested $300 in a kickass rucksack from goruck.com and loaded it up with 50 lbs. Now, every day, I go for a 4.5 mile ruck on the trails of Lake Linganore, provide a piece of gratitude to someone or something of significance and talk with God & my friend Steve, whom I sorely miss. Join me on my quest!
