to give is to receive

Had an amazing day trip to Tahoe yesterday. The drive in the storm on the way back was not pleasant, but it was easier with a near-new SUV rental. Of course, it was a blast to board on fresh powder. The black diamond runs felt like a breeze because there was little fear; falling on fresh snow is like landing on a pillow.

Although it was a 15-hour trip, I felt so energized. I am so lucky to always be able to find people to join me in my adventures!

People may think that I give so generously without getting much in return. Quite the contrary. I give in order to help realize my own dreams. Most of my adventures are financially possible because I found partners to help subsidize the experience.

There is no way I could have arrived at black diamond in boarding and skiing without all the friend who make the trips magical. I could not confidently drive to Tahoe in one day if there were not the delightful company along the way. The beauty of nature could not be so vibrant if not for another pointing out the views. Even the falls on the slopes turns to comical moments to laugh about together.

There is something magical about sharing life with kindred spirits.

Despite the uncertainty of career and love, I am the happiest I have ever been.

Who knew that life could be this good in its simplicity?
