I’m beyond excited to announce that something I’ve written is featured in the Spring issue of FabUplus Magazine! FabUplus is a fitness magazine for the plus-size woman. There’s absolutely NO weight-loss talk or even an undertone of encouragement to alter women’s bodies in any way. I’m extremely proud to be a part of this fantastic magazine. My hometown girl, Ashley Nell Tipton, being on the cover is a major bonus.

My piece is basically a beginner hiking 101. When I submitted it, I never thought for a second that I’d get an entire freaking page! GAH! The lovely photos (there are a couple elsewhere in the magazine separate from the article) were taken by my incredibly talented and possibly too generous friend, Megan Holmes.

You can grab a copy at Barnes & Noble and Books a Million in the US. In Canada, you can get it at Chapters/Indigo and Walmart. Be sure to take an Instagram selfie with the magazine and you might get featured on the FabUplus Instagram! Allies get featured, too!
