Courage

I've been thinking lately of the simple phrase, "Just Try".  This was brought to my attention by one awesome lady that I just learned about, her name is Hazel Findlay.  She is an amazing young woman rock climber. She is down to earth and an inspiration to a beginner rock climber like myself.  Watch her video of "Just giving it a go."  http://www.epictv.com/media/podcast/hazel-findlays-secret-to-freeing-el-cap---just-try-%7C-cedar-wright-climbing-reels-ep-7/601534

Since I've moved to the deserts of the Southwest, how could I not give rock climbing a try. I live in a town where everyone has a harness always available in the back seat and ready to go for any sort of adventure that usually involves ropes and/or a helmet. Rock climbing, canyoneering, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, zip-lining, base jumping, sky divers, hiking, backpacking, ancient ruin and rock art hunting. You name it, it is here. So, why not just TRY ? Moving to a new town where you don't know anyone is hard of course. But, my move to the deserts about two years ago has only expanded my life tremendously.  I've pushed my boundaries, both physically and mentally, I've made new friends and bonds with people of all ages and walks of life, and due to expanding my hobbies and outdoor pursuits I have found a new sense of confidence and courage. I only hope to grow and challenge myself in numerous, unexpected ways as the years go on.
 

MOab Friends !

I am a firm believer of removing the fear, negativity, pessimism, and the unknowns, and just going for it !  Instead I think of words like: courage, positivity, optimism, and more sunsets, sunrises, full moons, and rainbows to be witnessed first hand.
