Vacation
At this point in my life more than any other, I’m realizing that taking a break from work is so important for my own health. I’m on day three of a really relaxing vacation sitting on an awesome little beach on the coast of Oregon. My kids and I were trying to catch some waves…

A Weekend in the Mountains
Going off the grid and spending some time with nature, working hard for simple things, and just breathing mountain air is a recipe for better health.

By definition it means “not interested… feeling weary due to tedious activity.” Unfortunately, I’ve heard this statement all too often when I am interested in something and others around me are…

Black Canyon of the Gunnison
I love national parks (NP’s) and one of the most thrilling vacation choices I have made recently was to check out some not so popular parks.
