Living life fully for me has included a recent trip to Mexico. I rang in 2009 at the feet of some very powerful limestone cliffs called “El Potrero Chico”.

The questing into the unknown was done in a Volkswagen Westfalia named “Baby J” with my beloved Mark. It was great always having a mini-home (even if it didn’t go for a few days). Hardships of travel become opportunities to remain grounded in my Self and be skillful in action; mindful, kind, and in alignment with the highest good.

I gained new insight in climbing – the power of intention rewarded me on a hard climb – it was only my intention that kept me from not giving up. I gained insight and strength by pushing myself beyond my normal routines. I also learned how to pause and listen in uncomfortable situations. Overall, the time was sprinkled by mostly sunny days, new friends, a rekindled adoration of Mexican dogs, culture, growth, love, and fun!
