Let it Snow!

Nothing is better than the first snow of winter.

In the "Banana Belt" of Oregon we don't see much snow so when we do it is a real treat! (See Video here). We welcomed in the New Year with a fresh heap of beautiful white snow on New Year's Eve at midnight.

The snow was sublime and a real fairytale on a starry night signifying the start of new possibilities. But it was also wet, slippery and dangerous on already dangerous New Year's Eve roads, streets and highways.

Perhaps it is the way of adventure - there is a real surreal aspect to adventuring and it is awe inspiring and beautiful but on the flip-side it can be intimidating and potentially dangerous.

But ultimately, life belongs to those who dare -- so in 2011 -- life with abandon! Let it snow. May you live!!
