Is the Grand Canyon big enough to handle all of your problems?
I climbed to the bottom to find out.
For years, nature has taught us so many important lessons. The most important may be that we're a part of nature itself. Hiking has a way of bringing us closer to nature. Healing us. Reminding us of what's important and where our priorities are and should be. It makes us feel small, yet a bigger part of the universe around us.
In this short memoir, I reflect upon the mental healing that occurred in myself through being a part of something much bigger than myself. The trails, the mountains, and the Grand Canyon.

"Achieving a major goal or facing a challenge head-on can be a life-changing experience. Hiking the forty-eight, four-thousand-foot peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountains taught me more than I could ever imagine. Take a walk with me as I climb mountain by mountain, and experience the lessons and takeaways learned from each peak I summited."

LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT
"FORWARD, UPWARD, ONWARD" "What a delight I found in the journey he shares with us! It's far more than a journey through the 48 although I did some reminiscing of my own hikes while reading. It's a journey of goal setting and moving our life forward, upward and onward."
-Randy Pierce - Advocate for the sight-impaired and blind hiker who climbed all 48 peaks in a single Winter Season "Following along with Matt's quest as I read, I found myself on several occasions nodding my head with empathy and understanding. What an enjoyable story about an equally enjoyable adventure." -Mike Cherim - Owner: Redline Guiding - NH Guiding Agency "A very warm, uplifting, at times entertaining read that I would definitely recommend if you need a book to make you feel good about life, love and all the other small stuff that accompanies you on the journey." -Scott Allan - Author of "Do It Scared" and "Empower Your Life" |
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
|
I'm a firm believer in empowering and encouraging the people who surround us. Life can be a confusing and overwhelming place sometimes, but it doesn't always have to be that way. I'm blessed to know that my purpose is to make the lives of others' easier. I know I've also needed the hand of another to walk me through some of this human experience. I guess we all need a little help sometimes, don't you?
I like to think of myself as both a teacher, student, and tour guide in life, having experienced it from it's exhilarating highs to it's devastating lows. A lover of nature, and the outdoors, I try to travel extensively, learning as much as I possible can about human nature and the world around me along the way. |
