Welcome to Day Hiker Grammie!

-
Hello and welcome!  My name is Lisa and I am Day Hiker Grammie.  I am the proud grandmother of 7 grandchildren!  Most of them call me Grammie!  My grandchildren are my favorite traveling companions and they travel with me as often as time and budget allows.

When I created my YouTube channel, it was initially going to be about hiking and camping.  Hence the name, Day Hiker Grammie.  However, I have a general love of travel as well as hiking and camping so I decided I would just blog about and make videos of all my adventures.  You can find me on YouTube under Day Hiker Grammie.

Recently, I found myself unemployed.  Not the most ideal position to be in but perhaps it is the ideal time to create a channel and a blog that talks about the things that I love to do the most.  I love to travel. I like to go hiking. I like to camp.  I find myself in a unique position to do a little of everything before I have to knuckle in and commit myself to regular full-time employment again.

I extend an invitation for you join me on my adventures through this blog and my YouTube channel.

Many blessings,
Lisa

Changing Directions on the Blog

Hello! It's been a long while since I sat down to blog for Day Hiker Grammie.  A lot has been going on in my life to prevent this. I wanted to share a bit because it's been a phenomenal period of personal growth for me as an individual. I have a video I loaded on my YouTube channel that I'd like to share with you now. January Update Life is such a great teacher if you are paying attention to the lessons.  Most people will think that what happened to me was an enormous failure but that's not the way I'm looking at it.  I learned some valuable lessons during the last three months. In March of last year, I experienced a major depressive episode fueled partly by my place of employment. I had a very difficult customer assigned to me that deepened my depression and made working there intolerable.  When I went to my management team for help, I was told that I was a 20 year employee and they were not going to reassign the account. In other words, deal with it.  Un...

Mini Pictorial Tour of My Backyard Garden

Hello and welcome!  In today’s blog, we’re going to a pictorial exploration of my garden!  As part of my goal to help myself and other folks eat more whole foods, gardening has become a way to explore and share what that means. So we’re going to step into my backyard and explore what you can grow in a very small space. My garden takes up a little over a quarter of my backyard and it's roughly 20' by 20'.  It's not a lot of space but in that small space, you can grow food that fresh and good for you! Gardening has been an incredible journey for me.  I started out my journey not knowing anything and thinking..."how hard could this be?  Just plant a seed, right?"  Turns out there's a little more to it than that.  Soil quality, the amount of sunlight, plant spacing and how much you water them all counts, too! But those topics could be blog posts all on their own.  Today, I just want to show you my little patch of heaven. It's become a place of peace f...

Life Lessons about Manifesting a Better Life

 Life is an amazing thing. Just when I think that the Universe hates me and everything is going wrong, I find out that no, the Universe does not hate me.  Turns out, I have been standing in my own way.  I’ve learned some important things about manifestation, and I wanted to share them with you in this week’s blog. I found inspiration in the most unlikely of places.   I purchased a book called Moon Magic by Diane Alquist at Five Below. If you’ve ever been in a Five Below, then you know nothing in the store is over $5.   It’s an upgrade to the dollar store, I suppose, but sometimes you can find some hidden gems there. This book is one of them.   I’m going to do a review of the book when I’m finished reading it. I’m just not quite done. However, what I have read has been the key to this lesson in manifestation. First, life has taught me well that what you focus on is what you are going to get. Lately, I’ve struggled at my job. I am to the point where I fee...
