Where will I be walking next?
Outside of the daily and weekly walking (3 miles when time allows)... I aim to do a 8 to 10 mile walk every 6 to 8 weeks... I'm quite overdue for one and once the calendar clears will head outdoors to enjoy the world...

Women On a Mission to raise Awareness for Healthy Living NOW
Why Walk....... My Mission Statement
My ultimate goal is to walk across the United States... Why? Because I don't want to wonder... why I never did that... For what reason other than my own health? As I go through life, I am a mom, a daughter, a wife, a friend, and a woman who wants to do more than just live... I want to thrive and be alive and challenge myself to do and complete something significant. I've always loved people... so, if I walk and promote self improvment, and share the desire to be healthy for myself, and healthy for my family, and encourage other moms (dads, grandparents, friends, and anyone else who care.... that should be all of us)... then my mission is being heard. Budget: Being healthy shouldn't have to cost a lot of money... outside is a whole wide world to enjoy... yes, there are incidental costs to keep National and State parks clean and maintained, and there are general neccessities such as food, water and clothing... but it doesn't have to be "over the top" expensive, or out of reach for the average family... Taking care: of ones health, such as going to the Dentist, going for annual check ups should be automatic. Each birthday I make a phone call to put appointments on my calendar... for myself and my children... both for body and teeth... and then I take care of myself and get my hair and nails done...it's part of taking care of me so that I can feel good and enjoy the taking care of the family part of my life... Get involved: I'm a busy mom... with 3 kids, and 2 schools, and 3 different pick-up times to worry about... and everyday there is a need in a child's classroom for some help. I've made a decision to be active in their schools... art, library, helping the teachers, cleaning toys... you name it, I'm there as much as is physically possible... it's important for me, and my children, and their teachers, to know that I'm around... it also keeps them (all of them) accountable.... My Work: yes... I actively work... as an artist I have a flexible schedule, but still strive to work on my craft and projects on a day to day basis. I make sure I spend at least an hour, or two taking care of clients, projects and future projects, and allot several hours a week for studio time. I also volunteer and do my best to bring art to children who otherwise wouldn't get art classes. The Walks.... ... Planned routes: From the Beach Cities of Los Angeles, California (Torrance, Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beaches) to NYC, New York.. with training walks every 6 to 8 weeks to gain support and get physically and emotionally ready... become a fan / follower and learn what's next!!! Who will benefit: Many Non-Profit Organizations, who need need a voice... CoachArt: Bringing Art & Sports to Children with Life Threatening Illness.
