Life is full of peaks and valleys… We celebrate the highs……We struggle through the lows.For me, turning forty should’ve been cause for jubilation. I’d made it another year, through another decade.That’s what it was supposed to be in theory. In reality, I quickly plummeted into major depression and despair. I’d lost sight of my goals, my dreams, and everything that made me stand proud and push forward before the dreaded forty.A decade later, I feared my fiftieth year of life would implode.I didn’t want that.I didn’t need that in my life.I needed an outlet—something to hold my focus. What I didn’t yet know was how a seemingly “safe” choice like hiking the forty-eight 4,000-foot peaks of New Hampshire would radically change my outlook on life and help me conquer my inner demons, the baggage I’d carried with me for a lifetime, and how I connected to self and to the world around me.Forward, Upward, Onward is more than an account of my journey; it’s my hope it will serve as inspiration for anyone who has ever felt like their problems were too much or ever felt lost or in need of direction or ambivalent about life and where it will take them.I set out to hike and get away from the world. What I discovered along the way surprised me, made me think, gave voice to feelings, and provided the steppingstones I needed to re-evaluate and assess my life. Initially, I was consumed by loss. By the time I finished the hikes, I gained self-respect, confidence, discipline, and healthy habits that will remain with me for a lifetime.
