Even though it's tempting to go and actually get a seat on Rise of the Resistance, those epidemic numbers are way too high for me to be comfortable to fly to Florida. I will say that with all the sanitization, social distancing, and touchless services Disney has in place, a Disney theme park is most likely the place you'd be least likely to catch COVID in Florida.   I'm a Disney fa

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Bonus Episode Podcasters for Justice  We All Deserve Equal Rights In light of the civil unrest that has been happening for over half a century, I wanted to support my friends who are podcasters of color. My best friend is black, I have many black friends in the podcasting community. Although I’ve treated all human beings fairly and with respect, I don’t feel that I can speak on behalf of people that have been persecuted and had their rights infringed upon because of the color of their skin. As an anthropology student, I learned that race was created as a hierarchical structure to keep white men in control. Similarly, white men developed a list of what “women cannot do” to prevent females from becoming equals in the eyes of men. Women of color, in particular, I feel have had multiple challenges not because of who they are or what they do but because of the genetic factor of skin color. I’ve always believed this to be an injustice. I enjoy spending time with people of all races an

Through her dad, she learned science, mathematics, social studies, and English on a device that was a touchscreen back in the ’60s and ’70s.    After she married, she and her husband went to a small natural foods and products store in Urbana, Illinois, called Strawberry Fields. “ Their team was helpful and would always point you in the right direction.” Moving to Boulder in 1993, Karen and her husband shopped at Alfalfa’s and Wild Oats.

You can actually burn easier in the winter because not only are you getting sun from the sky, you are also getting reflected sunlight bouncing off of the snow.   I love camping.

An avid hiker, her friends, would ask her about the hikes she went on when we're good times to go, and which trails she liked the best. A friend suggested she start a blog on hiking trails in Utah. After looking around the internet for hiking trail information, Alicia couldn't find the detailed information she was looking for: what to expect on the trail, step by step information with pictures, and which trails were dog friendly. She wanted to make her blog stand out from other blogs, apps, and information on Utah trails, "I wanted to put stuff in there that nobody else had," so she started her own blog Girl On a Hike.   Building Her Blog Girl On a Hike   Knowing no
