travel wear

[bc-download-link link=""] Get this: by the time I was 20, I had spent meaningful time in France, Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, and a bunch more, all before ever setting foot in…Mexico. Mexico. Our neighbor. How could I travel so far afield, without even going next door? (And, when I finally went, I was blown away). At this moment when international travel remains suppressed, I was reminded of this pattern last week - not because I was traveling overseas - but because I had a eureka moment during an adventure at home.

Therefore, despite what has been a tough year with unpredictable weather this year, getting outside to exercise is a must for all our physical and mental health all around. What if you don’t love being active...

[bc-download-link link=""] When I look at this picture, it’s not the “travel” I remember. It’s the boat. It had: No rudder to steer by – use the paddle. No keel to maintain a heading – tough to go upwind. No attachment for the main sheet (line that controls to the sail) – hold it in your hand, alongside the rudder. I learned it was more of a canoe than a sailboat, and is really meant for going downwind. Hence, me pushing it.  Ha. As I wrestled with this thing, I had this burst of past memories on boats. From how my dad used...

Because 2021 wont flip a switch on our situation, it may feel like something of a confusing time to celebrate. But, there is a psychological opportunity to be had at a point of transition. And, every year, we make New Years that big moment.
