What makes your spirit bell ring? Mountains or Oceans? I ask this question many times of myself. When I am in the great big mountains overlooking wide open spaces, my body feels so grounded, so at home. Spending many summers on horseback for a week in the Teton National Forest elevated my spirit and my creativity. I never came back from these adventures the same woman! As I meet many people they seem to feel the same passion. I have also met people here in Florida who say when they get away from water and the ocean they feel lost. There are also those beings who straddle the fence, loving both. I encourage you to ponder what and where your SPIRIT bell resonates and rings the most. I feel it is an important item for us each to recognize and to place ourselves there often. To just be still on a rock surrounded by big aspens or to dip our toes in the sand to quench that place that feels sooo good.
The great thing about being in the outdoors is that we can enjoy our hobbies of fishing, hunting, photography or just being in that moment.
In a few weeks this WILD WILD Woman of the West will be in those Tetons, on horseback hunting Elk and just soaking it all in...placing in my mind memories and photos which will not exist on any camera or computer but in my SPIRIT.
