I was blessed with an amazing summer… Opportunities… Beautiful places to see. I Do my best to look for that miracle in my everyday life. I certainly found them this Summer.

The historical volcanic Peaks that I climbed, on the North Shore of Oahu, to the Beautiful clear blue water that bathed my feet as I walked along the shore, were nothing short of miracles in my book.

The days I spent on a farm in Iowa, showed me the hard life of a farmer, the long days planting, and the prayers for just the right amount of rain.

I immersed myself in  cultures and lifestyles so unlike my own.  I relished in the simplicity that this way of life has to offer.

As simplistically as I live my life at home, it made me appreciate more, the little things that can bring joy into our everyday life; the colors of the leaves when the season changes. The red and orange sunsets that plaque-rd the sky, as if to say… “look at me, I am beautiful!”  Or it might be a smile from a friend, a child, or someone you don’t even know, that brightens your day.

The way I see it, living is getting out there and experiencing life.  Seeing knew places, meeting knew people… it opens your eyes to possibilities you never thought of.  It can propel you in a direction that is empowering and help you grow as an individual.

As I always say… The Journey is the Reward

So GET OUT THERE!!  Live It!!!

Keep Hiking to the Top,
