You had me at Northern Lights.

Since first surviving, and then enjoying, RTP Patagonia (2017) and Atacama (2018), my bucket list has included a third RTP with an eye on Antarctica. And then life, and business, and pandemic just kept moving that wish farther and farther down the runway. But one read of NORTHERN LIGHTS in Finland and I knew that this was at least a ‘possible,’ and as we all know, unless you decide to embrace possible and turn it into something more, you might as well buy a lotto ticket.

So with a ‘register’ and an add to the calendar, I linked hope to possible, and here we are 30 days away, and I am SO glad I accomplished those steps forward. So much to write, so many people to meet, and gee whiz, a hell of a lot of MILES to accomplish. But for now, saying hello and getting myself up on the board. NYC reporting in to the Lapland crew of runners, walkers, explorers, dreamers, and people who make things happen. I can’t wait to meet up with you very soon, and I hope that the last rush of training and prepping is going well. The anticipation of such a journey is always so sweetly tinged with the sharp tips of joy, anxiousness, and excitement. Hang on!
