Whitewater rafting
Fear, rapids, and one extremely committed river goblin.
Trying new things. Doing them scared. Laughing when it all goes slightly sideways.

THE STORY
Hello Crystal Goodbye is the honest, funny, occasionally glamorous record of becoming more yourself—not less—as you get older.
I’m Crystal: mother, beginner, professional overthinker, and proof that courage doesn’t always look fearless.
THE FEATURED PROJECT
Fifty new experiences before my fiftieth birthday. Some beautiful. Some ridiculous. All of them real.
See the adventures ↘RECENTLY, I TRIED…
Fear, rapids, and one extremely committed river goblin.
Turns out the loop is only half the battle.
A Santa Barbara hotel, two tiny Yorkies, and no backing out.
A very big board, a little bravery, and absolutely no graceful exit.
Cowboy hat on, nerves acknowledged, and into the saddle anyway.
Stairs, strength, and a very direct conversation with my glutes.
One giant leap, one very loud scream, and no turning back.
Freezing water, one very shocked nervous system, and I got in anyway.
