Despite a long day at work in Orlando, I dashed home to scarf down some leftover lasagna and beeline to the Merritt Island Refuge I had booked a spontaneous excursion the day prior out to Playalinda Beach to take part in a turtle watch… and it just happens to be National Sea Turtle Day🐢🪹 AfterContinue reading “Sea turtle watch 🐢”

Surfside Beach is my second home and every visit takes me back to simpler times. That first night I’m always itching to ride a bike the 2.5 miles to the pier and make the walk to the end. It’s my routine. I put in my headphones and sing away, without a care in the world.Continue reading “Bar at the end of the pier”

Norway had been on my bucket list for at least 5 years but the hefty price tag always had me finding an excuse to choose an alternative trek. But September 2022, it was time…. After a brutal work schedule in August, I was craving some solo time in the mountains far away from reality. MissionContinue reading “Trolltunga sunset 🏔”

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 🏞”

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 🚢”

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”

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 🎸”

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 🥾”

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 🎿”

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”
