I love adventure and love risk — calculated risk, that is. Growing up in Chicago, I am a lifelong lover of Lake Michigan and everything related the water.
A walk on the beach or just sitting and looking at the water always calms me and give me an opportunity for a fresh perspective. Sailing has been a lifelong passion — water and now also ice! Yes, winter is a season for excellent exploration of adventure and calculated risk. Ice sailing is very fast and very exciting. 
Today I was reading about a group that golfs just north of the Arctic Circle in December — my kind of people! Why not? The ground is white and the balls are bright orange — they’ve been at it for years.
What excites you? What are you willing to try and do and willing to risk to get some passion moving through your bloodstream? Life is short, friends, don’t be insane with your time but live it — enjoy it — rejoice it! It is when we do things that are out of the ordinary that we Build The Strength Within in powerful ways that sustain us and help us cope with the daily stressors of life.
Live well, laugh daily, love deeply. This life experience is the only one we know we get, use your time well.
