National Mountain Day is on December 11th and since we are #EnthusiasticAboutHiking, you know we have to celebrate! I will of course be going on a hike and appreciating our beautiful Earth and I invite you to join me wherever you are! If you happen to be in Arizona, you can find some inspiration on where to hike on my Hiking Bucket List!
For those of you not in Arizona, I’m hoping that I can inspire you to go out and explore your own area with these seven reasons to hike! Enjoy!
It’s no secret that I am the biggest University of Arizona fan. Being at the University of Arizona is actually how this Enthusiastic About Life space came to be; you can read how it all got started here.
Long story short, my last year of college I created a Graduation Bucket List and one of my favorite items on that graduation bucket list was to attend every football game…and wow was I serious about this item.
This item catapulted my love for college football. However, after graduating and moving away from Tucson, it wasn’t as easy to go to every football game.
Last month, I crossed off one of the biggest items from my bucket list: run a full marathon. That’s right my friends, I ran 26.2 miles! There is so much I can say about crossing off this major feat, but you will have to wait for that article coming in the next few weeks.
Today, we are discussing the book I read just before my marathon, the book that motivated me and made me believe that anything is possible. That book is ‘A Walk for Sunshine: A 2,160 Mile Expedition for Charity on the Appalachian Trail‘ by Jeff Alt.
A few weeks ago, I had the incredible honor of being notified that I had won a national award from an organization that I love.
This organization was SHPE, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. I joined SHPE seven years ago in college and you can see some of my involvement with this wonderful organization by checking out #SHPEPhx and by reading my latest post: How To Be An Enthusiastic Leader!
My friend Wendy nominated me for the SHPE Technical Achievement Recognition Professional Role Model Award which is presented to an outstanding member who has provided selfless and outstanding contributions to his or her SHPE chapter and the Hispanic community.
You may have noticed that I was a little missing in action around here and on my social media accounts, and there is a reason for that. I won’t get into it, but October is a really difficult time and I’ve learned that taking a break from ‘the world’ helps my emotional and mental being.
While I was away, I spent some time doing the things I love and one of those things is hiking. I’ve learned that no matter what is going on in my life, I can always turn to nature to make myself feel better.
In case any of you are feeling this way, or if you just like to hike, I’ve put together a list of my five favorite hikes in North Phoenix. I hope you enjoy!
One of my favorite things to do in new cities when I travel is to enjoy the local art scene. I’m all about museums and learning more about art history, but what really blows me away is when the art is life sized! While exploring Minnesota, I discovered the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and fell in love! Take a look at a few of my favorite photos of these amazing sculptures and I hope you are inspired to visit. Enjoy!
There must be something about Minnesota and amusement parks because there are amusement parks literally EVERYWHERE. They have Valleyfair which is super famous, they have Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America and they even have a mini amusement park called Como Town at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory! As if the zoo wasn’t already an enjoyable experience, they seem to be catering to the adrenaline junkie in all of us!
Last week I posted a photo of some beautiful street art from NYC on my instagram, and a friend of mine mentioned that she lived in Brooklyn for 10 years. My response to her was ‘I LOVE Brooklyn!’ because I do, I really do. On my last trip to NYC, one of my fave things I did was to visit the beyond beautiful Brooklyn Bridge (y’all like that alliteration?) so I figured why not post a couple of photos to showcase just how breathtaking the Brooklyn Bridge is?
Fall officially on Friday and as all of the people in Arizona can attest, we are all so ready for Fall. To get you hyped, I’ve prepared the Ultimate Fall Bucket List to help you make the most of this beautiful season!
If you are not defined by seasons, feel free to check out the Winter and Spring Bucket Lists for more bucket list inspiration. Enjoy and let me know if I missed any items!
