Good Morning World...
I start so many days with a question....Do You?
What do I want, What is my desire, What is my Passion?? Will I be Successful?
One day I think I have it, and the days are amazing, then I have a "shift" of a day and can not figure out where it goes....Do you ever have those days?
So many prayers have and are being answered, and yet I can be like the Desert people....and wander all over looking for more, what's more? I am truly ashamed to say those words, but just want you to really see "ALL" of my journey!
I am committing to listen, and be productive, instead of sit and be stagnant. It is kind of like a diet...it's Monday so better get started:)
My run this morning was filled with more than the eye can behold... healthy body,smiling people, animals, sounds that make you listen in awe, sunshine, gentle breeze, rushing water...how can this be a "grey" day?
Because I started the "summit" experience without a plan, and thinking I am not capable of achieving as other are this fine Monday. My visual is...EVERYONE is busy and happy, and productive except me....
The one thing in life I dislike the most is a victim...whoa did I have to look in the mirror this morning.
When I prepare for the Summit, I know I have to get organized and set a plan in motion....Where do I want to go, which mountain? Check my mind for memories...have I been there before? Look into the discription, miles, elevation gain, area....I pick a day, and time...I like to get started early due to the storms that could roll in. Food, what should I take? Clothing, definitely need the rain gear, and winter gear( you never know), need to layout what is need, refresh the pack...how many times have you looked in your pack and found dried out bandaids...wow this is sounding a lot like Life:)
So know I am preparing the food, egg salad sounds good, and of course have to have Peanut m&m's...can't travel a trail without them.
Stay tuned for the "Hike"
Have ana amazing day...See you at the Top!!

One Step at a time!
Good Afternoon...
Springtime in the Rockies....We have seen Fires, Floods,Snow and a lot in between....One of the things we have not seen for some time, the Sun! It continues to rain, and snow, even tho in the Valley they are seeing flowers, and green grass.
That is Mountain living for you!
I am NOT complaining, I am BLESSED to call the Mountains my home and backyard...thus my Passion for the "Summit" experience!
It has now been two years since kili....Everest Base camp was on the calendar for last October 2014...due to Sherpa's lose of life, and now the earthquakes in Nepal. My heart is with the team's and the villages of Nepal, would love to make the journey... Everest base camp will stay on my Dream board, but working towards another Summit!
My "summit" right now is to actually write about my journey. I have been at the trailhead, still contemplating the hike, but just can't seem to take that first step. I can smell the tree's, fell the cool breeze rustling thru the tree's, and hear the birds in the distance, what's holding me back.......So here goes.
I have looked at the map long enough, it's time to start this journey! I am so Thankful for the encouragement from so many...we think our lives are mundane and unexciting, but we ALL have so much to share!

The Journey continues...
Good Morning!
I have such good intentions...Do you have "intentions of getting a routine going...? Then 1,2, or 3 years pass and there it is...not completed?
My "Intention" for my Dream Board to Summit was/is to inspire others to reach for their Dreams!
"Inspire....IN-SPIRE...verb, to encourage somebody to greater effort,enthusiasm,or creativity. to awaken a particular feeling in somebody
Latin...Inspire to Breathe...
My journey has met many false summits since my Kilimanjaro experience, I have veered from the path, and had to find my way back from the bushwhack....I always have my eye on the Summit but there are times in my journey that I can only see the false summit. I get excited because I'm still on the Mountain of life, a bit weary at times, but I'm still moving forward...are you? Can I help in anyway to guide and encourage?
It is March...Spring is in the air, birds are singing happily....Am I happy, Inspired? I have the most amazing peace in my life today...it is so calm I almost feel like it's not right? I have a wonderful best friend to share my journey with....answer to a prayer that I have had for over 13 years!
I am actually sitting still and writing, and so excited to share! I could not have done this 1 month, 6 months, or a year ago. So I am Thankful and Grateful for this moment of realization...
Dream Board to Summit and back...

New Year....From Dream Board to Summit
Two years ago this week we stuck out to accomplish a goal that was unreal for me.....
I relive it because it was So outside my box of comfort! Now the joy has been to share ot, and speak to many groups on "being uncomfortable" but achieving my goals!! "Whatever the mind of man can believe, and conceive, He can Achieve!!
Believe in YOU! My Dream Board continues to ebb an flow.....I love looking at the fruition of my desires! It's so exciting to SEE the Gifts unwrapping!
Today is just a typical Saturday...but so exciting to see how it unwraps!

One Year Ago....
Good Morning!
One year ago today I acheived a "Success" in my journey of life! I prepared for one year to summit Mt Kilimanjaro, in Tanznia Africa....
I Succeeded!! My "Gift" was unwrapped. In the last year that journey has changed my life...I Thank God daily for the growth and molding it has done!
As I reflect on my journal this was the devotion my Sister Deanne sent me on Summit day...
... I am all about you, to bless and restore. Breathe Me in with each breath. The way just ahead of you is very steep. Slow down and cling tightly to My hand. I am teaching you a difficult lesson, learned only by hardship.
Lift up empty hands of faith to receive My precious Presence. Light, Life, Joy, and Peace flow freely through this gift. When your focus turns away from Me, you grasp for other things. You drop the glowing gift of My Presence as you reach for lifeless ashes. Return to Me; regain My Presence.
My journey has been steep and hard at times, and this summit experience has shown me my strenghth and perseverance...
In the last year I have opened my hands in praise instead of gripping so tightly, it's amazing what can come into your life when you OPEN your hands...So I am focused on HIS glowing Gift. Looking forward to the daily journey and not just the destination!
Encouraging you to "Live your Dreams with open hands" Let life come in...

New Year. New Dreams!!
Happy New Year!!
I have had so many friends ask me about my Blog and why I didn't post anymore news after Kilimanjaro... So I thought about it and I have no excuse for not continuing:)
So the journey continues in the life of Marcy...
Mtn Kilimanjaro was a pinnacle for me in my life's journey, it has opened my eyes to so many blessings!
2013 was filled with many adventures but the Summit experience was miraculous!
January was prepping and training for the Mountain....So much excitement but also trepidation of what was to come.
February was the actual climb....Life changing!
March was just getting back into life after being gone...Grammie time was at the top of the list!
April was a fun trip to Dallas to grow me! GIN is an amazing organization and a gift to us!
May and June as I read my journal seems uneventful, but the "Gifts" were fun to open!
June off to Panama and just giving back...Again I stretched myself beyond anything I could imagine...well except Kilimanjaro! I did a ropes course TOO far in the air, and survived:) Talk about out side my comfort zone...
Chicago..again just sharpening my sword..
Second half of the year, was growth in business, Real Estate school...again my beautiful Granddaughter
She keeps me young and happy..we love going on our runs, and to the park. Our special times! I love it that, this is her memory of me:)
So much of my "Dream Board" has come to fruition! It's so exciting to look back and see how it manifested!
I have learned something in just the last few months..."If your Dream doesn't scare you your not Dreaming BIG enough! So I encourage you to Dream Big in 2014!!

Bluebird
Good morning!
In the last several weeks my life has been spinning....do you ever feel this way?
The old saying "your burning your candle at both ends". I never really knew what that meant but I think I'm starting too. I have always been a busy person but.......
The one thing that calms my heart an spirit is "His" amazing creation!! Did I forget to mention, I like to hike😊 a friend many years ago said its the best psychiatrist in the world, I have to agree! It changes my attitude immediately!
I was on the trail Thursday and just stepping out of my car the smells were incredible! The excitement was building to reach my destination! Yes I knew I had 6 of 7 miles to reach it but it was the excitement of just Being there!
All of my stresses began to fade....the sounds of wilderness all around, water, wind in the trees, animals, and of course my breathing!
Made it to my destination and it was incredible! I talk about gifts alot,well this is a "gift" to be unwrapped. Blue sky, gorgeous lake, rocks, critters, and just being in His presence!
It made me realize as my candle burns closer to the center that I need to enjoy the journey!
This message is so constant for me😊
I am preparing for another journey....
Leaving the country Friday. I can't wait to see what He has in store!
