As we age we have a choice. We can stay in the race and continue to dream big dreams. I intend to do just that.

It works for me and I think it will work for you. So, my darling,...

As a child, I recall my father talking to me about his love of nature and telling me, “When I was a little boy I would walk the golf course, barefoot, before going to school because I loved the feel of the dewy grass on my feet.” I am my father’s daughter - and a trip to Garden Valley, Idaho drove that fact home more than before.
