Mother Nature, you rock my socks!

Hello lovies, how are you? What's been going on? Things here have been amazing. Really amazing. This weekend in Los Angeles California, I experienced sun, clouds, rain, rainbows, and snow! It was magnificent.

I love nature! I love the elements and watching them do their thing. It really brings me a lot of joy and peace. I also love technology. All the photos you see here were taken with my iPhone 3GS (so excited for the white iPhone 4 to be released) I think my fellow techies would also appreciate that these pics were not edited or modified at all either! Love, love, love, being out and being able to capture all this beauty and share it with you.

I hope you had a great weekend too and are having a fabulous week! You are always with me, even if we're miles away.....

What an awesome weekend!

These last two days I have been concentrating on slowing down my pace a bit. Resting more, not going through so many things each day (like I usually do) and I tell you it's been great! I have had a wonderful, inexpensive, glorious two days filled with nature, learning, and fun. If you read my last blog praising the rain and kicking things off, I hope you'll like this journey even more. Here we go!!

Day 1) I sleep for an unexpected glorious 10 hours. My norm these days has been 6 hours a night. I also read, watched my favorite show Grey's Anatomy and I took a glorious bath with the most soothing inexpensive bath salts ever!

Today, was a whole other adventure on it's own. If you follow me on Twitter, you know what I'm talking about but for the length sake of this blog, we shall carry on. ;)

After gray skies, brisk winds, and a continuous downpour, imagine my delight at seeing this..

A few more paces and

This whole time our feet haven't touched dirt yet, can you imagine? How lucky are we to be so engulfed in wilderness and the beauty of nature and still be on pavement.

What's behind is nice....

But what's ahead...

Gratitude for this day, for this moment, for this view. Grateful for this knowledge, it's application, and YOU!



To recharged batteries and amazing views.

Let's Get Our Zen On!

If you're new to the blog, welcome. I have just had a big move and now live near the ocean for the first time and it's amazing. Every day, there's is something different to take from it and I figured, why not share the love??

No matter where you are, now you have a bit of the ocean with you whenever you want! So go ahead and get your zen on! There's no wrong way...

Sending you full expressions of health, wealth, and happiness. Ommmm..... ; )

Let's get out of here!! Continued.

Hello there!!!

If you read my previous blog you know I talked about getting out, exploring and the possibility of doing it no matter what your budget or time restrictions. So last week I went on an adventure and I'd like to share it with you like I promised.... Most of this will be in pictures. Away we go!!!!

The first destination was a 7 hour drive & that alone was so impressive. There were many beautiful sights but the craziest things were the weather variations.

Beautiful and strong. There was a torrential rain that had me slow to 30 mph on the freeway at points and there was a gorgeous lightning display. I wish I could've captured the lightning...

Then before you know it, our first destination! A small town called Williams were we had booked our hotel.

And some local BBQ for dinner. It was so cold out!! I was amazed knowing that while we were eating dinner and shivering (it was my fault I wanted to eat outside to enjoy the guitarist) it was hot enough for air conditioning just hours away at home.

I had already seen beautiful weather, amazing desert scenes, and a cute little town. But nothing could prepare me for.....

THE GRAND CANYON

This next picture shows the magnitude.. See the people?

The beauty of The Grand Canyon was overwhelming and humbling. I was scared at times but mostly completely in awe. I know my pictures can't capture it all, really it took a few days to comprehend. Still, I hope you're enjoying it. : )

Then as people made their way back.

The day drew to a close.....

Thank you Lord for the beauty you have made. Truly I felt blessed to have witnessed it.

A new day a new location! Here's some beauty we stumbled upon on our drive out....

Now on to Las Vegas! I'm stoked!!!

After days of fun in Sin City, we found another cool thing on our way home. A ghost town... : O

This 5 day trip for 3 filled with good food, brand new sights (except for Las Vegas), tons of fun and inspiration, not to mention memories that will last a lifetime, cost less than $1,000!! Can you believe it!?! I really hope you enjoyed the pictures please do share your adventures with me as well. I'd love to see what's going on with you.

*For those of you that appreciate photography/technology, these photos were captured with my iPhone 3GS and edited on my Macbook using iPhoto. ; )

That's it for now! Remember how fantastic you are and that anything is possible. Blog ya later! :D
