Since I am officially on vacation, I won’t be writing my usual Tuesday post, but I couldn’t let the opportunity slip by to share some of my favorite photos from Nuevo Mazatlan. If you are looking for a place to go on your next vacation, I highly recommend El Sol La Vida! The view from … [Read more…]
Last Tuesday I asked you to share some of the things that bring you joy. I know I have much to be happy about. Here’s just a sampling. Friday morning started out great with my daily walk in Kauai. This time I counteracted all that healthy activity with a delicious pumpkin macadamia muffin. (Hey, I worked hard for … [Read more…]
The opposite of play is not work—the opposite of play is depression. ~Dr. Stuart Brown, psychiatrist This month’s guidepost is all about the importance of play and rest. How appropriate that it coincided with the month in which we had a vacation scheduled—a trip to Hawaii. What better place to play and rest? Of course, … [Read more…]

I’m officially on vacation and taking a break, not just from my day job, but from writing as well. That means you get a photo recap of my girls trip to Park City (lucky you).

For Part 2 of the visit Mazatlán travel blog post, I chose one photo to represent each day. I hope these photos of the day give you a sense of how incredible this trip was. Day 4 brought a freak ice storm—and by ice, I mean ice crystals the size of eggs with sharp, irregular edges. Ouch! Even … [Read more…]

Last week, I was sitting on a beautiful beach, enjoying the rugged black lava rocks and the mighty ocean waves, when my travel companion decided to get in the water. Before pulling her coverup over her head, she said, “I’m sorry for what you’re about to see. I’m still a good person.” Then we laughed … [Read more…]
This week I saw a seal up close (like almost tripped over close) in its natural habitat, not behind glass. I sat on a lava rock and watched a turtle riding the waves. I took a turn riding the waves myself and laughed as fish nibbled on my husband’s toes. On the way “home,” I … [Read more…]
