After years of resetting myself with daily walks on the beach and local headlands, I realized just how stressed and buried I was by my professional life. For 32 years I worked in the museum profession, 19 of which I was as an Executive Director. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my profession and am proud of the many ways we made a difference in people’s lives. But maybe at times I took myself too seriously. Being Type A and worrying about every detail and whether or not I was going to make payroll takes its toll. So here I am today, very fortunate to live on one of the most stunning pieces of California Coastline. Our backyard is a National Monument with beautiful beaches and two headlands right out our front door. Our location is somewhat isolated which is one of its many charms. I believe in Guardian Angels and that things happen for a reason. Maybe that’s why life led us to living “behind the Redwood Curtain.” One of my favorite things to do is to take walks or hike in the forest and on beaches. Thru this blog I hope to be able to share some of the beauty I’m fortunate to experience. My posts will include glimpses of my daily walks and other travel experiences focusing on my perspective of the landscape before me. I hope I can bring joy to all who view my posts.
