I awoke this morning to a vision of white all around me…glorious snow! My kitty Katie was even in awe!

The kind of snow that clings to every branch and creates a magical world of silence, surrounding you with nature’s calm beauty.

Traipsing outside in my house slippers, with my camera and tripod, Katie followed me everywhere I went. My husband nicknamed me Doctor Doolittle because our dog and kitty follow me everywhere.

Another fun day with my son…Ziplining at Camp Kern, just north of Cincinnati. We’ve been one other time in Mexico about 7 years ago. I’m admitting it…I was scared…but one of my big beliefs is to “face your fears”! I took Justin skydiving a few years ago and for some reason this makes me a little more nervous. The only injury of the day was before we even got outside…Justin hit his head hard on this doorway of the Ozone Zipline building. The autumn colors were stunning and the other five participants were fun. We went on seven lines…each one getting longer, faster and higher…up to 175 ft. high and 45 mph. Because I was one of the lightest in weight, I had to do the “cannonball” to ensure I went fast enough on the longest lines to reach the end. I can’t say I was ever totally relaxed…but I was in the moment. It’s nice to feel proud of yourself for doing something that pushes you…I guess that’s called empowerment!
