All of my life, I’ve had the desire to travel internationally.

My limited travel experiences as a young adult began when I was a junior in college. I lived in Belgium for the summer as a short-term missionary.

Back then, I anticipated that I wouldn’t have other opportunities because of my chosen path. (Which I now realize is limited thinking.) I married at 22 and had four babies whom I homeschooled in their early elementary years. But I did go back to Belgium as a chaperone to accompany my adolescent son and his youth group. That was back in 2005.

Fast forward to now. I no longer have the responsibilities of caring for family members. Nor for holding back the bigger life I was meant to live. The desire remains. That’s a big reason I chose to be part of Legendary. The high-end coaching program that included travel.

In 2021, I experienced Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I added a Dream Retreat in the mix and joined Kathy & Mark Szabo for an excursion in St. Croix.

When five in our group decided to join Cowboy Steve in a horseback riding excursion, I  experienced what would be come an icon of my vibrantly authentic life. I rode on a horse named Gingi into the Caribbean Sea and stood on her back! Even though I was a beginner horse-rider, I did tell Cowboy Steve that I used to be a cheerleader!
