When I was little, I looked up who shared a birthday with me and it was quite a disappointing list. It was a bunch of people I had never heard of, and Alexander Hamilton. While some of my friends had really cool birthday twins…

Reading classic books is something I really enjoy. I love the thought that I’m reading a story millions of people over generations and sometimes hundreds of years have read. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, it makes me feel connected to something much…

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! It was our first time in Crested Butte and we will definitely be back to this sleepy little town in the Rockies. #mylovelanguageisqualitytime * * * #crestedbutte #rockymountains #colorado #snowboarding #lovemyfamily #birthdayweekend #keepuporgohome #ilovewinter #winterbaby #qualitytime #emptynestadventures

Happy New Year!! Wishing you all lots of fun and adventure in 2019. Let’s get out there and do some cool sh*t! xoxo
One of the highlights of our time in Morocco was hiking in the High Altas Mountains, and staying in the Berber village of Imlil. The people we met will be friends for life. We were shocked and heartbroken to hear of the tragedy there last week. I am not ashamed to admit that I cried not only for the two women and their families, but also for our Moroccan friends. Tourism is vital to their livelihood. I pray people will continue to visit this wonderful place. Yes, there is evil in this world, but there is way more goodness. * * * #morocco #highatlas #berbervillage #toubkal #hiker #imlil #goodness #atlasmountains #dontliveinfear #emptynestadventures
Happy 23rd birthday to my winter solstice baby, a self-professed “life enthusiast”, and one of the best people I know. * * * #wintersolstice #happybirthday #december21 #proudmama #bornincalifornia #bestfriend #familyadventures #skydivingbuddy
Do you hike at high altitudes? Have you ever experienced altitude sickness? I did once, and I just wanted to lay down and die. We have a huge hike next year that will be 3K feet (920 meters) higher than we’ve ever been, 2.5 times longer than our longest hike, and will take 12 days. I get an upset stomach whenever I think about it. But there’s that old saying, “if it scares you, it might be a good thing to try”. Do you have anything scary, I mean fun, planned for 2019? #newyearnewadventures * * * #hikergirl #optoutside #naturemakesmehappy #colorado #mtevans #nevertooold #createthelifeyouwant #noregrets #mountainlife #emptynestadventures
