One of THE best hikes in Washington State that in my opinion should not be missed is Hamilton Mountain. It’s challenging without being too difficult, depending on your fitness level of course and increases elevation without being “risky”.

There are a lot of reasons why it’s a great hike, but one of the biggest reasons it gets such a high scoring among visitors is because the views of the Columbia River Gorge simply can’t be beat.

On a clear and beautiful day you can see for miles and catch the white peaks of Mount Hood and Mount Adams in the distance as well as Table Mountain and Bonneville Dam.

Depending on which way you decide to travel, along the hike you get a chance to see beautiful water features including Hardy Falls, Pool of the Winds and Rodney Falls.

Although this wasn’t my fir...

One of the hardest things to do when someone has hurt you or made you angry is to stay calm and forgive them. It is far too easy to let your emotions take over and unfortunately, this is probably the worst thing you can do.

But I know first hand that sometimes the feelings are so strong there is no way you can control them. And then you end up regretting your actions.

So how can you find inner peace and forgiveness when someone has wronged you? How can you take the high road and feel good about it without feeling like you are not sticking up for yourself (all you want is respect and to be treated fairly right?)

Well the answer is quite simple. It’s not simple to do, but the answer to how to achieve this is…do nothing...
