    Not Just Your Average Walk in the Park: Mt Tabor

    Ann writes about her 22 years in Southeast Portland’s Mt. Tabor Neighborhood, intertwining personal growth with her surroundings. While on a walk, she confronts past struggles related to CPTSD, and embraces self-care. Gardens and plants remain a source of joy while navigating life changes and newfound spontaneity.
