Outdoor Diva Patti Henderson
I love the outdoors. It grounds me. It offers me the opportunity to get back to reality. Be in the moment. Yes, all very cliche descriptions but isn't that why they are cliche? Because they do just that for so many people.
I am a weekend warrior. I work a 70 hour work week but make time to get out and mountain bike, snow shoe, hike, learn to snowboard, ski, cross country ski, kayak, trail run...
No greater is the Diva in me than when I finish my outside activity--endorphines rushing, feeling fitter, knowing that I have improved my health, will live longer for my family, have a smile to share with those around me and have that special 'jewel' in my consciousness - that the world has shared the beauty it offers... with me.
I love the outdoors because it makes me appreciate the rocks, trees, rain, snow, water, roots, dirt... it also shows me that I am not alone -- I am part of a bigger picture...even when I am standing alone on a mountain top, I am not alone.
It gives me the Vision to See, Faith to Believe and Courage to Door.... the great outdoors!
