Bio Blurb, in case yr wondering...

A bit about me:  I grew up with Christian "mystic" parents, and have had a spiritual practice of one kind or another since I was about seven, I guess.  I took to it like a duck to water back then, and, though I essentially left the Church around age 20, have continued seeking the oneness with Divine I glimpsed early on.  I’m now 36, and I haven’t involved myself with other spiritual seekers much since the church, apart from some close friendships.   I have however, over the past year or so, delved deeply into the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and others.  This has had an effect of reactivating some of the wisdom I grew up with (as in—“Seek first the kingdom of God [my transl:  the inner realm] and His righteousness [my transl:  acceptance of all that the present moment is presenting]…).  I also have been a culinary professional for about thirteen years on and off, hence the “breakfast” part of this meditative hike and breakfast thing.  I recently put my catering business on hiatus in order to de-stress, but still have a need to feed.  I love cooking outdoors; camping-cooking is my fave! 

Hike Start Time Through September: 7:00AM

I checked out http://www.sunrisesunset.com/calendar.asp and discovered that throughout the month of September the sun rises within a quarter hour of 7:00.  Should be light enough to get going, at least.  I will be in the parking lot to the left of the S Picnic Ln at 6:45am every Friday and Saturday morning throughout the month.  Remember, if you just want to hike, just show up. If you want to join for breakfast after, give me a heads up on Facebook at least 12 hours ahead.  Also remember that I have a SECRET TRAILHEAD I use for my 20-min hike (I'm sure NOBODY knows about it!!!) and it's easy to zig when yr supposed to zag and get all lost, so please be on time!  Yay!!!
