Finding Serendipity » Blog

Welcome to my blog!

Hello!
I'm so glad you stopped by.
Yes, this is me. As much as I love being behind the camera, I am really uncomfortable in front of it. Isn't that silly? I think it's left-overs from my less secure, younger-than-40, days. These days, I understand who I am and I am grateful for that.
I hope that you find serendipity here.... that you find things that feed your soul, things that will make you want to stay and visit a while.
I am very happily married for 19 years + 3 {I like to add the +3 because they count, too, don't they?}. He and I are best friends, and we have 3 children who you will meet and get to know well here.
I have a master's degree in physical therapy and now teach fitness classes {it was the only way I knew to get my tush to the gym on a consistent basis}. True! It is through this past and this present that I have realized that I enjoy teaching, and helping others feel better. It has also taught me that balance is the key to everything in life, including fitness and good health.
My love of photography continues to grow. It feeds my desire to blog, which in turn, feeds my desire to shoot more. Sigh. This is the thing, isn't it?
Let me know where you are so that I can come visit you... Until then, be well!

Costa Rica, Adventure Day in the Jungle, part 1

I know… feels like this trip will never end, right? ;)

It actually went by very quickly for us. Saturday through Saturday with six full days of adventure activities. Puts “vacation” in a whole new perspective.

On this particular day, we hiked up from jungle camp, a little deeper into the jungle, and spent the morning exploring the rain forest canopy.

Which means we zip lined…

{And hung out…}

And rappelled…

And walked the wire bridge, as well as wooden bridges.

The height was deceptive, because the tops of trees below us formed a green canopy, through which we never saw the forest floor. That actually made it a little less scary.

{Notice my 6’2″ son, way down below}

We embraced adventure,

Trusted strangers {our very talented guides},

Abandoned fear.

And we enjoyed each other.

I think we made great progress in figuring this really living thing out.
