This year I’ve been working on a little personal experiment I like to call “Heck Ya!” I have been trying to be more self-aware of when opportunities present themselves, where I would have formerly thought them over, decided how they could or could’t fit into my schedule and generally over-thought all the options.

Tortilla Making Class
One of the things I love to do when staying in hotel while traveling is taking advantage of the classes or activities they may have on site. When we were in Costa Rica, we stayed at Arenas del Mar on the Pacific Coast. The hotel offered tons of on-site activities to choose from. We opted […]
