Hiking Trails/Nature spots (under an hour from Carmel, NY): Pelton Pond, Fahnestock State Park White Pond Nimham Mountain Putnam County Land Trust-Preserves Stone Crop Gardens FDR Park Walkway Over the Hudson (plowed through Winter and same for trailway all through Ulster county!) Self-Defense Tools:

|
Self-defense when outdoors, especially for females, is a personal process and can be empowering. Go Guarded offers products that can be purchased. Nicole Snell offers online courses. I believe both are valuable, but the choice is yours to make and I want you to have resources when it comes to your safety. It is important to note that when purchasing products, you must understand how to use them or train with them so that they cannot be used against you. Nicole teaches self-defense without the need for any product.

|
Ticks are out! In fact, they come out much sooner or do not go dormant during the winter because of climate change. Don’t forget to protect yourself.
|
|
Try this free app if you are looking for walking and or running meditations. This app is also useful for other meditations. It is not specific to only outside or movement. You can search for almost anything, like sleep, focus, anxiety, sounds, chants, and more. It’s a nice addition to getting outside if you need to switch it up.

Our Run Club for Mental Health at Lake Gleneida wrapped up in March. We took an anonymous poll at the end and drum roll…the majority of participants reported that they enjoyed the group because it is weight inclusive/not focused on weight loss! Stay tuned for future run clubs! |

It is Forward Motion Counseling’s 3rd birthday! I opened up the practice three years ago after leaving non-profit work. It continues to be the greatest joy, as I can do work I really enjoy, have a schedule that allows me to volunteer at local events, get involved in local activism, and donate back to charities that are meaningful to me. |

“Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.”-Gilda Radner
