Being in Nature

I have naturally been drawn to nature. It is where I feel most peaceful and connected. I am glad my mother would send us out during the summer months. I, my sister, and neighborhoods boys would enjoy an different adventure everyday! From exploring hippopotamus land, long abandoned wells, traveling miles to the candy store, dodging vicious dogs along the way and fishing in all the creek beds-time slipped away and we were free! I even used my creativity and rigged up bailing twine on our ten speed bikes to act as horse reins and woolah we had horses!

Now, at 42, I found these pleasures again. I am fortunate and lucky enough to do what I love and be paid. Did you ever think I would be able to climb trees for a career?? The quest for this marvelous job wasn't always easy. Through all the coaching and searching what always came up for me was what did I do as a child that was natural and easy? Not only did I lead adventures but I taught in my bedroom. My mom had set up these old school desks with the ink wells. Sure enough I was cutting out projects, dot to dots, puzzles providing them to my sister and neighbors. I loved grading them!

I love our new company EarthJoy. I get to create it just the way I want. I get to teach, grade papers, make up logos, take people on different adventures. I truly believe it is one of the things God wants from me.
