Today I did/something I have been wanting to do for a long time which is document the life I have chosen to live after getting divorced after 18 years of marriage.  First I need to say that I was married to a great guy and a fabulous father to our now 27 year old daughter.  We have managed to remain a strong family and friends despite our break up.  What I realized was missing in our marriage was passion, not only for each other but for the lives we wanted to live.  I was ready to get back to my love of travel, sunshine and adventure and he likes the rain and gray of Seattle.  So on my 42nd birthday I decided to restart my life and give us both a chance to be happy.

This blog will be about my travels, local adventures, food, fun, friends and living the life you want to live.  I hope to hear about your adventures along the way too.
