Yesterday I went to the heart of downtown, for my first time since moving to Phoenix. Invited to hear three women speak as part of Arizona's Centennial Celebration, I donned my tennis shoes and walking clothes and headed toward town...

I love to walk.
Every day I take a four to five mile walk and magic happens. The walk is never the same, although the path remains so. Different cars drive by me, trees are in different stages of development, birds are chirping or quiet, I am surrounded by a whole variety of life...

Over the years I have loved Martin Luther King, Jr for his commitment to living heaven on earth and I've disliked him for his alleged philandering.
When I learned it was a mother who said to him in the grocery story "I hope someday our children can play together and not be judged by the color of their skin but instead by their character," I was angry he didn't credit her for these heart felt words...

My daughter visited over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and like any good mother I brought her to Old Town Scottsdale for an afternoon.
As she was in a store, I stepped outside following my ears. I was hearing something which sounded like Christmas singing, guitar playing and a horse neighing. An odd combination, or so I thought...

Friends,
My heart is so full of joy right now.
There are moments when I am proud to be an American. Where wearing the "country" label feels good upon my skin.
Today, I experienced one of these moments.
My morning started as it often does with a walk to my local Starbucks...

"Nothing is sexier than watching active transformation" came sliding out of my mouth suspended 90 feet above the ground.
I went zip lining with my friend Brandy last week. She was terrified. Okay, terrified is a generous understatement...
