Explore and Soar: Part 1

EXPLORE and SOAR… My MANTRA and way of life. What does it mean to me? I think it is (at the very least) two fold… 

Part one: Getting out there and creating MEMORY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES and being BETTER for it!

I love unwinding at night by watching a show on Netflix and I can be the World’s Greatest Couch Potato but I also do love an ADVENTURE!  Especially creating MEMORIES with the people I LOVE most! 

Thanksgiving weekend we hosted a nontraditional Thanksgiving PARTY in which we invited our children’s plus ones and their families. We rented a room in our community center and had lunch and drinks and great CONVERSATION! The party continued back at our house where football was watched, games were played, LAUGHS were had, and BONDING was HAPPENING! Everyone returned the next day for a breakfast spread. It was a WONDERFUL weekend! The BEST PART was just BEING TOGETHER!

This past weekend, we CHEERED on our daughter and our son’s plus one while they RAN a ½ MARATHON! The girls trained separately but together thanks to technology. They set a BIG GOAL and CRUSHED it. It became another FAMILY BONDING EXPERIENCE! The next day, a few of us took a ROAD TRIP to PHILADELPHIA to watch an EAGLES football game! We met up with some more FAMILY which made the day EVEN BETTER! We started with Philly FAMOUS sandwiches and ended at a PHENOMENAL Philly diner. The next day, we caught up with MORE FAMILY!

These EXPERIENCES are the BEST kind of GIFTS to give ourselves and others because they are PRICELESS! They allow us to EXPLORE and SOAR together!
