“That drive for me is about 50 percent terror and 50 percent exhilaration. My fear of heights is challenged repeatedly, but oh the payoff. I learned that silence, pulling in my breath and then purposefully exhaling allowed me to continue in a place of wonder and presence rather than surrender to the fear and miss a spectacular experience.”
“We cranked the music. Filled our car with snacks and drinks. Pit stopped. Took detours. Got lost. Pulled over for photo ops when we wanted. Unexpectedly discovered. And, took in the slow-living, laid-back vibes of California.”
