Hiking wasn't always the fashionable pastime it is today....walking used to considered an activity for the impoverished or the vagrant. Until the Romantic era of the Victorian years inspired the likes of Walden and Thoreau to reconnect with nature and that, in turn, inspired the landscape architects to design parks with excellent walking trails. Today there's more than 60,000 miles of trails across the nation. Not to mention, hiking is great exercise allowing you to burn over 550 calories per hour. Plus, being in the outdoors allows you to get away from your phone and appreciate nature's beauty and wonder. So become a sojourner...you could even join a hiking club!

The term pickle comes from the Dutch word pekel, meaning brine. In the United States, the word pickle typically refers to a pickled cucumber. However, just about any fruit or vegetable can be pickled. We consume a phenomenal 5,200,000 pounds of pickles each year in the United States. While pickles can be high in sodium, they are a good source of vitamin K. In moderation, they make a great snack. BTW...drinking pickle juice helps with muscle cramps, helps regulate blood sugar and it helps to balance gut health!

Music has been bringing joy to humans for thousands and thousands of years. Archaeologists speculate that the "Divje Babe Flute" is the oldest musical instrument. It's dated to be approximately 43,500 years old and is made out of a cave bear femur. Of course, when the technology for audio recording was invented in the late 1870s, it changed the way that music was able to be presented to the world. A lot of work goes into being a musician, and not everyone's aware of it. Musicians spend hours a day practicing and hours a night playing at bars, clubs, and concerts. Ever wonder why musicians sell merch, go on tour, and lend their face to commercials? Well, the average musician only earns about 6% from sound recordings, and less than a cent per stream.
