What we see when we talk about we…
I just want to take a moment to highlight some of the adventures listed below that run the gamut but inspire me and I’m certain others in ways unexpected and sincerely celebrated. Here, in our adventuring community we’ve heard tale of slowing down, pushing up, forgiveness, anger, solitude, memory, music and love.
Each contribution is unique and telling and the product of a good-great-best year. So thank you. Thank you for making each and every one of us a little more humble, a lot more anticipatory and instilling in us a sense of darling adventure.
So don’t lose sight of what Plato once said, “The good is the beautiful” and remember that YOU are the good.

Wow! So inspirational! I linked here through the AOL Maressa Brown story, and you and your fabulous cohorts have definitely lit a fire within me. A few weeks ago I lost a high school friend to a heart attack and he was only 40. Needless to say, really living life has been in the forefront of my thoughts as of late. Thank you for sharing your spirit and your adventures!

Wow, I absolutely LOVE this idea of adventures! I am truly an adventurer thru-n-thru. My latest undertaking has been skydiving, and I suggest you try to add this to your list of musts, maybe squeeze it in as a bonus adventure. I made my first tandem jump, was immediately hooked, and a year later earned my license to jump solo. It is the most incredibly liberating experience I have ever had the pleasure to participate in. Not many people have the courage to make that jump, but I promise you that it is worth every single second. It opened up my mind and heart and now I really do live one minute at a time (one minute is your freefall time, with 5 minutes under canopy). Really, please try this!

This is sooo cool! We travel constantly for work (my husband is a construction consultant)…No exaggeration we filed 350 days away from home on our 2009 taxes…Any way life gets pretty boring & we inevitabley become “mall rats” in every city we come to. We do some geocaching, but this has rekindeled our love of adventure…We are 14 weeks behind ya’ll, but this weekend we’re starting our adventures by going on a jet skiing/snorkeling trip in the FL, Keys…YAHOO!…Thanks for the inspiration
