Brittany & Cody Holifield (Halls Top Hangout) – A New Chapter

Hartford, Tennessee is located about an hour from Knoxville, Ashville, and Gatlinburg, on the edge of the Cherokee National Forest.

One Foot in Front of the Other

Again, those are the things that draw me toward hiking, the life metaphors.

In life, sometimes we will walk alone, other times we will walk with others.  We will have uphill climbs and we will have some downhill slopes.  Sometimes our path with be a little rough and other times it is going to be smooth and flat.  We may get some sunshine; we may get clouds and rain.  Sometimes we are going to have to navigate through the dark.   There will be times where we can pick up the pace and make good time and there are going to other times that we must slow down and carefully watch where we are stepping in order to not trip or lose our balance.  There are going to be times when we feel tired and weak and times when we are strong and vibrant.  We need to recognize when we need to take a break and when to push through.  But regardless of what our path throws at us, we just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.

Walking to Heal

I find the best way to help the humans heal is to be here for them to pet me and to make sure that I’m walking them on a regular basis.  There’s nothing better for healing your soul than getting out into the fresh air and moving your body.

I walk daddy the most, but I also walk mommy and daddy at the same time a lot too.  Sometimes I walk mommy, and daddy, and Rebecca, and even mommy, and daddy, and Rebecca, and Matthew!  Some people probably think, “How can he control walking four humans at once?”  Well, I’ll tell you, it isn’t easy sometimes.  These guys have a tendency to drift at times, but I round them up and keep them in line.  I also protect them from squirrels, and rabbits, and other dogs.  I make sure that all of those mean creatures know that they’re my humans and I’m taking care of them.

We’ve gone on some nice walks throughout the neighborhood, which I enjoy.  Long walks and short walks are both nice, I prefer long, but any walk is good.

Erin Pappas – Ballplayer, Nature Lover, Single Mom, and Hero

Erin and I first connected through social media back in 2016 during the time that I was building my network of female baseball players and advocates of women and girls playing baseball.  We immediately connected because she was also an avid Red Sox fan.  Like many of the women that I was connecting with at that time, she had participated in the first ever Boston Red Sox Women’s Fantasy Camp.
