 Governors Arts Awards-2014

Quickly packing up a few more "To Sell" boxes and then up stairs to put on a dl-couture gown and enjoy the pleasure of "dress-up" that never gets old.
 
I was honored again this year as a nominee to the Governors Arts Awards (2011 &2014). It was a lovely evening and I am always impressed with the lifetimes that have been dedicated to art and culture.
 
One of the Individual winners that really stuck out to me was Anni Beach and her work with the art of music and inspiring youth.  She stood out to me on many
levels, and the strongest is that has never become a 501 c 3 and just continues
to fund all her projects herself! I loved this as my humanitarian companies are
just the same and it is few and far between that I meet someone that  will say back to me, “never do it, keep doing it yourself, never do a board.” Cheers Anni to the hard work and dedication you have shared throughout the years. I raise my glass to you.

When to leave for an adventure?

3/20/2014

Simply put when you think of nothing else.

It is time to live your adventure when you start quieting the voices of fear, or as some call “voices of reason.”  The key to a journey is knowing that it is for you and not for everyone else. It is the time in your life that you should be selfish and embrace your dreams with the understanding that it is okay!

For me I am not a big believer in regrets, and I find journeys, adventures, even daily choices are answered by my asking me…will you regret going? Usually what flashing through my mind is I WILL regret NOT going! So ask yourself, “Will I regret not __________?” Fill in the blank with your adventure.

Monotony of Tasks

We get into a routine and the drag of the daily repetition where something as simple as checking your mailbox becomes another task.

Unless that is you are anxiously awaiting the new issue of ADV Moto Magazine! Daily I would get out of work, find parking at my complex and briskly walk to #2021 for a mail check. I would insert the key with excitement, often to reveal a coupon newspaper and a bill. Oh but last night was different, there it sat beautifully wrapped in plastic, the new ADV Moto issue 79!
 
RIF – Reader In Focus feature and the first printed press on the upcoming adventure for Black tie to Black top. It is a great layout and wonderful to be a part of a magazine that I have devoured for years! Thank you to Nicole and Paul for the support. 
This is the start of much more press to come, and the monotony of picking up an article or coverage or TV program…that just never does get old!

Getting ready for the trip begins with great bag prep, and as the gear is starting to filter in and making sure it is all perfect fit is important for this distance and time length! Harold of Giant Loop and team are creating a release for the Fandango Tank bag to work with my bike of choice as the gas cap is right in the way! Fed Ex delivered the base strap, my job pictures for placement and then patience as soon the bag will arrive!

Fandango bag comes in multiple colors, I am of course selecting the black to do the black on black elegance for my Triumph, I mean it is a proper British bike it has to glide with style and class through all state borders on this ride!
