Me time: Moms with cool hobbies

Michelle Cummings is an author, team building consultant, mom and fly fishing addict.

“Fly fishing is about being away from my other world, finding adventure in an unspoiled setting surrounded by majestic peaks, wide valleys, and stepping into culture and lifestyle that is predominately male-oriented. Any day I can stand among towering mountains, quaking aspen and other breathtaking formations, it tends to dwarf one’s petty day-to-day concerns. I can’t think of many other places that allow me to be as still and in sync with my surroundings as standing in a river rhythmically casting my fly rod. Fly fishing feeds my soul and allows me to be a better mom, boss, wife, etc. back in the real world.”
