Super fun podcast with Angie Marie for See Her Outside Podcast and The Carin Project
The Cairn Project mobilizes women adventurers to fundraise, tell stories, and expand outdoor access for girls and women everywhere.
Through our volunteer Trailblazer program, storytelling initiatives, and community building, we’re making “More Girls Outside” a reality, one adventure at a time.
AND CLIMBING THROUGH HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR THE GRIT LOT BOOK CLUB!! Interested in supporting The Carin Project—join their quarterly book club.
Grit Lit is a community subscription and event program that elevates the stories of women outside. Each quarter, you’ll receive a box with a book and treat (think coffee, chocolate, tea) from women adventurers and business leaders around the world.
One-year subscriptions (4 boxes) are offered on as sliding donation scale starting at $45/quarter ($15/month). Subscribers can pay quarterly or annually. Proceeds from Grit Lit support The Cairn Project’s grants program. These subscriptions auto-renew and can be canceled at any time.
Sign up today and receive a welcome box! Listen to Angie chat with authors of the books we’ve read over the past few quarters and get a deeper view on being a woman in the outdoors.
THANK YOU ESTES PARK
I was overwhelmed by the turnout for the Friends of the Estes Valley Library Foundation fundraiser book talk. Someone said 125 people! It takes a village and our village came out in force to support!
If you missed it stay tuned for a Bird’s Nest book talk this summer – wine not - sounds like fun 😉

Some years ago I decided to chronicle my life as a working athlete.
It is interesting resurrecting these old post and visiting with the youthful and optimistic me.
What message would I tell the younger Melissa--simple "don't play with electricity."
I stopped posting with the accident -- turning my time to recovery and opening Bird & Jim. Pouring my words into Exit Wounds.
