Hi, I’m Molly

I am a single mother of two, 38, an artist and a free spirit, with a dream of trekking through Nepal and climbing some peaks in the Himalayas and reaching Mount Everest Base Camp. I want to write about the journey, the people I meet, and paint the experience while there and when I get back home.

For me this is a chance of a lifetime, an open door to being the best version of myself and believing in dreams.  The Journey started the day I said “yes” to traveling to the Himalayas, mainly because I had so little idea of how I was going to make this happen.  I have refused to give up on myself, my dream and making this amazing experience happen.  

Who am I?

I am a child that grew up way too fast and got lost in the world.  I am a woman who’s finding her way back.  I am the Mother of two amazing, bright and beautiful children.  I am a self-taught artist and designer learning my way and growing stronger each day.  I am a runner who has found peace within bounding up a mountain (an ex-smoker now marathoner). I am a free spirit who loves nothing more than finding simple treasures along the shoreline or high in the mountains.  I am full of love and joy and have overcome the deep pull of depression.   I am a dreamer and a believer!

I remember sitting for hours when I was a little girl, staring wide eyed at the pages of our National Geographic’s and Encyclopedias day dreaming about the people and the places that filled these books.  I remember passing the two posters decorating or hall every day.  One of Greece with its exotic white buildings and blue accents, and the other of Peru’s magnificent Machu Picchu.  My favorite was that of Manchu Picchu, I would travel in my mind, daydreaming of ways to see this beautiful place and imagining the delights to each sense…, what a spectacular feeling must overcome someone with this view, and more importantly “how do I get there?”.

This trek is more than just the obvious. This is my chance to be better than I’ve ever been, to push myself into something more.  To do something I never thought I would be able to do and to believe in myself in a way I never thought possible.  To show my children that yes dreams do come true and you can do anything you put your mind to.

Help make this come true and support me by being a sponsor.  

Love and Light,

Molly
