This one has been a long standing bucket list location that I’m finally tackling. I originally envisioned camping at this remote National Park but that is easily a 6-8 month out reservation request that I didn’t have the luxury to attain to. So I picked a long holiday weekend to take a solo road tripContinue reading “Dry Tortugas NP 🏞”

Cruisin’ fav things 🚢
After 33 cruises, I know my way around a floating city and never take it for granted. My child-like curiosity is in overdrive and I always have boundless energy to expend onboard. What are your favorites and must-dos? Soufflé x 4 (my record is 12)! Fireworks…. Seriously?!? Banana pina colada Verandah card games Walking theContinue reading “Cruisin’ fav things 🚢”
Trolltunga via ferrata
After previously climbing a few via ferratas in the US, I was fairly confident & genuinely excited going into today’s Norwegian cliff side obstacle. The faint hearted or vertically challenged beware….. The 6km mountain bike trek along the winding, glacier capped ridges definitely got the heart pumping. Then we had to bushwhack vertically up theContinue reading “Trolltunga via ferrata”
Jordan Davis gig 🎸
As a relative newcomer, Jordan Davis packed a huge punch into his new headlining tour. Orlando was opening night and I was stoked to have an free evening to unwind. And ohhhhh how I have missed live music, especially in an intimate setting such as the House of Blues. Being sold out at 2k guests,Continue reading “Jordan Davis gig 🎸”
Compilation adventure trips early 2000s
Facebook yearly memories popping up in my feed are always a welcome reminder of the crazy amazing places that I’ve been blessed to visit. But what about those places lost in time prior to 2009 and the digital age? I have boxes of printed photos that are still waiting to be sliced and diced intoContinue reading “Compilation adventure trips early 2000s”
Backyard beauty
I’ve summited the highest peak in Africa and touched the rock at Everest Base Camp both at over 19,000 feet, yet I am still in awe with the view from my back porch. Over the pandemic, I just started really appreciating the solitude of my own back porch. I had wisely chosen the lot upgradeContinue reading “Backyard beauty”
A day in the life of an Executive Director
A normal day isn’t even in our vocabulary. Be prepared to wear many hats and ready for anything. I typically would start my day with a complete walk through, saying hello to our regular members, checking in with all the staff and scanning for any potential safety issues or hazards. Mornings are jam packed withContinue reading “A day in the life of an Executive Director”
Toadstools 🥾
With the trailhead immediately off the highway, I didn’t have high expectations for my first hike of the day. However, I met only one other soul in the parking lot and he was on a return trip, so that typically is a good sign. I snaked along a sandy wash for just under a mileContinue reading “Toadstools 🥾”
Annual Girls Ski Trip 🎿
For 5+ years in the early 2000s, we made our annual girls’ ski trip a priority and typically visited both Vail and Breckinridge. Ski towns are so full of life, begging you to let loose. I’ll never forget the first time riding up a Colorado gondola feeling like it would never end and getting nervousContinue reading “Annual Girls Ski Trip 🎿”
What is a legacy
Legacy is a culmination of everything we do or desire, all that we are, dream about, talk about or share with others. Creating that intangible legacy for your life that transcends self is one of the highest callings we can set out to attain. Innovation. Resilience. Joy. Grit. Self determination. Triumph. Transformation. Did you walkContinue reading “What is a legacy”
