Tisha Weber-Jones- Rambler Profile

Tisha Weber-Jones was born in Burlington, Ontario, and now calls Barrie home. A semi-retired visual merchandiser, proud mom of two sons in university, and wife of 30 years, she’s embracing this season of life with a little more freedom and a lot more room for travel, adventure, and discovering what’s next.

What does Sole Sisters mean to you?

I completed part of the Camino Portuguese in May 2025 with my cousin and a few of her friends. Not long after I returned, an ad for Sole Sister Ramblers popped up on my social media—perfect timing, as I was already missing the sense of camaraderie, connection, and accomplishment that came from walking with a group of amazing women.

I joined the very first Ramble of the new Barrie Circle in July 2025, and since then, I’ve become a Rangler for my local Sole Circle and am now a member of the Rambler Care Crew. Sole Sisters is something I didn’t even know I needed in my life—until I found it.

What age are you, and what age do you feel?

I’m 54 years young. Some days my body definitely agrees with that number, but mentally it still surprises me. I appreciate the perspective and wisdom that comes with the years—even if there are moments when I still feel (and want to act) like I’m 24. 

What are you proudest of? 

I would have to say my family and the life we’ve built together. We didn’t start out with much, but through smart decisions and early sacrifices, we’ve created a life we’re truly proud of.

We were able to retire in our early 50s and now have the freedom to do what we love and give back to our community.

Most of all, I’m proud of raising two incredible young adults with bright futures ahead of them. I’m very proud of where we are today. 

What five words would you use to describe yourself? 

Creative, stubborn (but not unbendable), thoughtful, loyal, and inquisitive. 

Where is your favorite place to Ramble, and why do you love it? 

My favourite place to Ramble is the Ardagh Bluffs, just a two-minute walk from my home. It’s a beautiful, environmentally protected area with incredible trails. I’ve Rambled in many countries on amazing paths, but there’s something especially comforting about coming home to the Bluffs.

It’s where I took my boys when they were young to “get lost” in the woods, where I trained my dog—my longtime Rambling companion—and where I go whenever I just need to clear my head. These days, I also organize Rambles there for my Sole Sisters, which makes it even more special. 

What have friendships taught you over the years? 

Over the years, friendships have taught me that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime—and that idea has really stayed with me. Sometimes the “reason” isn’t easy, but it brings a lesson I needed or a brief connection that sparks positive change.

Seasonal friendships help carry us through different stages of life—like fellow parents, hockey moms, or university housemates, some of whom have become lifelong friends. 

And then there are the lifetime friendships—the ones where no amount of time apart matters, you pick up exactly where you left off, and you’d do anything for each other. Every friendship, no matter how long it lasts, has enriched my life, and I truly don’t take any of them for granted.

What life lesson took you the longest to learn? 

The life lesson that took me the longest to learn is that most people aren’t thinking about me nearly as much as I once believed—and that it’s okay if not everyone likes me.

All those replayed conversations and embarrassing moments simply aren’t worth the time or energy, because I’m usually the only one holding onto them. I’ve learned to let that go. I know who I am, and I know I’m pretty great—awkward moments and occasional social anxiety included. The right people will see that too.
