I love lots of things. I especially love ice cream sandwiches, my niece & nephew, driving my mini cooper, paddling my SUP (or floating on it), asking "why not?" and then figuring out how, and looking for and unleashing awesomeness in everyone.
I'm incredibly lucky to have all facets of my life blend fairly seamlessly. perhaps that's luck. perhaps it's the result of hard work. Regardless, it's both a delight and one of the most extraordinary challenges I've experienced. To find the flow, and keep the balance.
This is a glimpse into those more personal adventures that ignite my curiosity, fuel my soul, light my eyes, and let my inner kid run wild.

Aunt Jen CampA couple years ago, an idea I'd been lobbying for since my niece and nephew were born finally came to life: Aunt Jen Camp. What is this, you ask? Well, for a week or so during the summer, the kids join me for adventure, exploration, discover, creation, and FUN. We all take part in the planning, and adjust the schedule as we go, using the same exact techniques and exercises I use in my day job. The result? A collaborative and fluid plan that is tremendous fun and full of countless unexpected and delightful adventures.

Ice Cream Sandwiches: aka Squishwiches.
I love ice cream sandwiches. A lot. As in i can't be left unsupervised with them. Because i'll eat them. All. I mean it. ALL OF THEM. They are just that delicious.
But they are also, just a little bit magic. Think about it. the cool, melty squishy gloriousness of them? They transport you somewhere. Every time. SQUISH is my exploration of that magic. Click here to learn more about my adventure. It's been pretty amazing so far. And pretty darn delicious. |
Stand-Up PaddleboardingThere are few places where all the noise drops away and clarity can emerge. One of those places for me is on the water. Specifically, on my Stand-Up Paddleboard. I fell in love with the activity (some might say sport) a number of years ago. To this day, it's the place I go when I need either a bit of exercise, or a bit of space to figure things out. Me. The water. The quiet. Magic.

I ❤️ Carousels
Carousels are magic. The light. The color. The menagerie of animals. the music. They're a slice of delight left over from childhood and a place where imagination still rules our hearts and minds. One of my greatest joys is finding carousels in cities I visit as I travel (and riding the ones in my home town on a regular basis).
Do you know of one I need to visit? Let me know. I'll add it to my list! |
