What are you thankful for?

Thanksgiving is just a matter of days away and with that being said, I pose the question-what are you truly thankful for? A very wise friend of mine asked me this very same question back in November of 2008. It had been quite a while since I had really challenged myself to think about what seems like a very simple and straight forward question. Each year I do this same exercise which helps me to put my life in perspective as it often seems to sway. I encourage you to take 20 minutes of your day and make a list or a mental note regarding what things in life you are sincerely thankful for and likely take for granted. I'm not talking your favorite purse, your fantasy football team players, your new bike, or your favorite store that just went in down the street. I'm referring to relationships, opportunities, necessities, strengths, faith, and so on. You may also want to share your thoughts with someone especially if they influence you or something on your list.
Aways Be Thankful and Giving!!! :)

Fall... what Fall?

Gosh---Time just keeps flying by. It seems as if summer were just here and now Christmas is right around the corner. For me, the past few months has been filled with travel, mnt bike races, weddings, work, work, work, and life. :) Over the past few months I've also been given the opportunity to reconnect with quite a few people from my past. It simply amazes that some friendships just never change and whatever created the foundation of your friendship 10 years ago, most likely still exists today! :)
Currently, I'm preparing to depart on a 10 day trip to Hintertux, Austria to ski coach with EuroCustom. I'm extremely excited to be given this opportunity and have no doubt that we will make memories that will last a lifetime. I'm also blessed to be able to meet some of my family in Colorado (& see friends :) in early December for a little skiing, mnt breweries, and experiencing all of the things that we love to do out there.
My "30 before 30" list is still going and will likely be completed in the Spring! :)

I hope that everyone is doing well-healthy, happy and fulfilled! xo
