A Perfect Rocky Mountain Retreat!

A Perfect Rocky Mountain Retreat!

What do you do when you want to clear your mind? For me, the simpler the better. I want outdoors, some physical challenge, and beautiful scenery. I don’t need a fancy place, great restaurants, or entertainment. Give me a trail up a mountain and I’m in heaven. We just got back from an awesome 5-day hiking retreat in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and it was awesome… we came back in awe of the mountains, refreshed, and ready for new challenges!...

Blue Ridge Mountains... The Perfect Spot For A Hiking Retreat!

Blue Ridge Mountains... The Perfect Spot For A Hiking Retreat!

A couple weeks ago we shared our plans for a hiking retreat in the Blue Ridge mountains… We felt a pull to get out of the noise, gain clarity, and consider our path forward. We were looking for a transformational experience and were very intentional about planning the trip to get us out of our comfort zones, allow us freedom to go with the flow, and to give us space to gain new perspectives.

Ohio's Amish Country... With A Twist!

hhh… Amish Country… it makes me think of long rides through beautiful countryside to experience the simple life, open space, and fresh air. When I was a kid my mom, grandma, sister, and I would go to Amish country every fall… we’d stop at cheese places, walk through the towns, and sample great food. Last fall Todd had some photo assignments in Amish Country and we decided to take an overnight trip to the area. I hadn’t been to Amish Country in years and was excited to reacquaint with the area!...
