Road Trip

I'm obsessed with this song right now! It makes me want to go on a drive somewhere. When I hear it, I feel as if I'm just staring out a window or a sunroof watching the world fly by me. If you could drive anywhere right this second, where would you go? I'd love to be on my way to sunshine and water somewhere. North Carolina perhaps? For now, I'll settle for an overnight sail. Governor's Cup regatta this weekend! Here are some pics from last year's sail.





I hope this year goes well and we have wind through the night. It tends to die in the wee morning hours, leaving us to drift aimlessly for what seems like eternity. We did encounter some dolphins swimming alongside our boat one morning around 5:30am. What a treat! It would make the whole trip for me if we found them again. Unfortunately, I think we're more likely to stumble upon some sharks...they've been making their way up into the bay and the potomac. I'm fine discovering them as long as I'm not swimming when they appear!

Who Am I


Not to throw total clichés in your direction, but I'm learning more and more about who I am. My theory is - I'm still figuring it out because I keep changing things up. So rather than opining about who I am, I'll give you some fun facts about me and let you form your own opinions.

I LOVE summer. I have really, really great girlfriends...and Key West makes for a great vacation.
A lot of people love summer. I never claimed to be unique! 

Today, my best friend sent me a message that was really truly beautiful. She told me: 




"Believe in love. Believe in spontaneity. Trust yourself. And trust him. Don't think about the details. Enjoy every moment for what it is. Jobs, careers, locations, dreams - are all written in pencil. Be yourself on this one. from the first moment on. Be honest with yourself, and then be honest with him." 


 It is hard to do all of these things, but can you be truly happy if you don't?
