Come along with me as I explore something new!
It was two weeks before my elopement hike in Colorado, and unlike most brides, I had an “anti-bachelorette” adventure up my sleeve…
By myself. Outside.
Because… what else do you expect from an introverted highly-sensitive person??
I packed up my gear and drove five hours from Jefferson City, Missouri to Ponca, Arkansas for a four-day adventure to my Midwestern happy place – The Buffalo National River.
There are a few paddling options near Jefferson City – the Maries, Missouri, Osage, Gasconade, Big Piney, and the Moreau. I’ve paddled a little on the Osage and plan to explore more, but I wanted to check out the Moreau after a tip from a friend last week.
I gotta keep my kayak, friends… but progress is SO SLOW. Find out how I’m staying motivated in Part Three of Bye Bye Kayak???
Will she keep it? Will she lose it? Find out how a friendly weight loss challenge might rob me of my beloved kayak. The suspense!!
And even before we were married, with white-knuckled fists, I held on to our relationship through waning romantic effort… unhealthy boundaries at home and work… addiction… neverending counseling appointments… promise after broken promise.. Lie after lie… Trying to control him… begging him to change…
All because I was too terrified to figure out who I was on my own. To face the reality of me.
