Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, and thanks for reading!  The purpose of this blog is to provide a healing opportunity for both myself and readers.  I have chosen the title Adventure, Grow, Heal because these are three things that are very important to me; I believe the three work together to create optimal living.  As three of my “core values,” they each play an important role in my life, both together and separately.

Adventure. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to travel and go on adventures.  It creates an escape where I am able to experience what this world has to offer while learning about myself along the way.  I hope you’ll enjoy learning about my adventures–both through travel and throughout life.

Grow. Adventure leads to growth.  As cliché as it might sound, I never want to stop growing in life.  When I’m traveling, I am constantly being forced to step outside my comfort zone and into a new culture.  You’ll learn more about the growth I experience as a result of adventure and other areas of my life, as well as the value I place on learning and growing from life’s challenges.

Heal. Growing and learning more about yourself allows for unabridged healing to take place.  Whether I want to admit it or not, chronic disease has had a significant impact on my life.  As a result, health is very important to me because without it, it’s difficult to truly enjoy what life has to offer.

Finally, healing and feeling well leads to more adventures!  As you can see, the three come full circle and work with one another to create my version of optimal living.
