A Battle Cry: 2020 Hasn’t Crushed Us.

December 20, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

Don’t get me wrong, 2020 has pummeled us.  2020 has held my head under water, yanked it back out by my hair and allowed me just enough air to catch my breath, right before shoving me back under again.  But, I won’t let it take me down. I’m a formidable contender, you know?  Whatever fight […]

1400 Miles of Adventures: How to Embrace Change

August 14, 2018 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

The only constant in life is change. I’m still not entirely sure what “settling down” feels like. I was shuffled around from place to place as a child and as an adult, the longest I ever lived in one place was 6 years. I almost beat that record while living in South Florida. That sense […]

Saying Goodbye To Summertime

September 24, 2017 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Niagara on the Lake Niagara Parkway Recreational Trail

Happy Fall y’all! Real talk: I hate that phrase and I have no idea why. Last week, we welcomed in the fall season, as we waved goodbye to good ol’ summertime. When I lived in Michigan, this time of year gave me winter anxiety. As much as I loved fall, I knew what was to […]

On Being Overwhelmed.

July 20, 2017 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Generally, I have a lot on my plate. I can usually manage it like a rockstar. I know I take on (and accomplish) more than the standard 9-5 gal. Full-time copywriter, side-gig freelance writer, social media maven, website runner, in real life foot-to-pavement runner and then those international trips thrown in between. I do a […]
