Kids came along. We moved. We divorced. I moved back to Maine.
Once my children were old enough to safely maneuver the cliffs, I took them on this glorious hike.
I had never done the hike alone.
This fall I had a strong desire to be there once again. Timing and schedules made planning with friends a bit tricky.
I had a day open up. Or rather, I saw the weather report and opened up a random Wednesday to take the hike.
As the day approached, I found myself believing the myths about the dangers of women hiking alone. Trump's views on how women should be treated was also boiling inside of me.
I felt afraid to hike, during the day, all by myself. Because I am a woman.
I almost didn't go.
I almost let the media scare tactics and a buffoon's opinion of women rob me of one of the most beautiful days of my life.
You know what changed my mind?
I asked myself, "What would I want my daughter to do?"
Blessings,
Virginia
