Quote “If the plan doesn't work, change the plan, but never the goal.” Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. I can’t believe it has been six weeks since I recorded an episode! I have had a lot going on, but all just normal busyness, nothing special. I was well into my training plan and things were going really good. Then last week I had a very sore back. I went to the chiropractor and I am feeling much better I think it was the worst my back has ever felt. I had to...

Quote “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.” John F. Kennedy Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. My husband and I had planned our weeklong summer vacation to Colorado for the past week.

However, I definitely needed a break, and it was the weekend of our fifth wedding anniversary, so we ended up taking a four-day weekend. We were going to head to Duluth / Superior since neither of us had...

Quote “A best friend is the only one that walks into your life when the world has walked out.” Shannon Alder Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. The last two weeks have not been my best. I thought I was coming out of my depression along with the weather getting warmer. Then, I had an interaction with someone that shut me down. I felt belittled and dismissed.

Quote “One of the main benefits of spending time in nature is stress reduction.” – Richard Louv Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. The last few months I have not been as active as I normally am.

I am a list maker and there is always something to do on that list. What I was...

Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else.
Episode 75! Wow! What a great trip it has been.
I’ve been reflecting on a closeout episode for this season of Sensory Strides and I have been struggling with what that should be. I have come to realize that Sensory Strides where it is now is not where it started. Growth in different ways than expected. I had been considering sunsetting this podcast.
I listened to episode 260 of the Bib Rave podcast and they announced that they are going to be ending their podcast after five years.
This seemed to be a sign to confirm that my thoughts on sunsetting Sensory Strides and allowing myself to focus on some of my other projects. Especially those that are Girl Scout related like my Hearts of Gold podcast and the work I’m doing with Badgerland council to improve and encourage more girls to earn their Highest Awards is likely the better place for me.
I’m recognizing that my mental health is just as important as my physical health, and I have been spreading myself thin. I need to focus on that which improves my mental health and that which gives me the strength and energy to be encouraged to pursue new interests. Working with these amazing young women in Girl Scouts feeds my soul in that way.
The new house is amazing and watching both the sunrises and sunsets each day have helped to allow me to relax in a different way than I have these last few years. I look forward to the summer and sitting outside watching those amazing sunsets.
Thanks for joining me. Be sure to check our show notes for links to inspiration items and … don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
