Adventures Down Under: The Great Ocean Road

September 29, 2019September 29, 2019 / Kelly / 3 Comments

'The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.'-Wyland I have come to the end of the road Down Under so it seems appropriate that the last thing I did was spend the day on the Ocean Road!

'The ocean is everything I want to be. Beautiful, mysterious, wild, and free.'-Unknown I have loved the ocean for as long as I can remember.

Adventures Down Under: Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

September 2, 2019June 2, 2022 / Kelly / 2 Comments

'Do one thing every day that scares you. '-Eleanor Roosevelt I wasn't going to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was on the provided list as a possible excursion but I am terrified of heights and immediately crossed it off. I panic and hyperventilate.

In talking about Lewis and Clark today in class, shared my love of Cape Disappointment so sharing with you one of my favorite photos!
Was reminiscing with friends about life in the PNW and I do miss views like this one…
I’ve had a massive couple days on the website and am so grateful! Thank you to all those who have been here since the beginning and those who have found me along the way ♥️

More Canadian adventures coming this week!
‘Gettin' high's easy/Gettin' drunk's fine/It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down/So if you need me/Know that I'm bleeding/Somewhere alone in some coastal town/Some coastal town.’-Z. Bryan
‘Most days in life don't stand out/But life's about those days that will.’-Eric Church
'Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.'-Joan Didion
2022 was definitely one for the books and I couldn’t be more grateful! Happy New Year!!!
There are very few things I will wake up for at the crack of dawn to see but a desert sunrise is near the top of the list.
Nothing like a road trip across the American Southwest to provide a bit of clarity and gratitude. And my first with the new Rav4 Hybrid…I can go a long way!
This past week has been truly incredible and good for my soul. Now, where to next…
