On rivers, you are grounded in the right world

My love for rivers started when my husband took us on our first rafting trip. That trip brought me right where I want to be in nature. I have always loved the canyons of the desert with the combination of canyons and water. But more, it was just a place to disconnect from the life around me and be completely grounded instantly. The second you take off from that beach, you are instantly grounded into the world you want to be in.

I have two children. One of them has a lot of challenges in the societal part of the world; it is very hard for her. But the second we take off that beach, she is just the person that she is meant to be, so it means a lot to me.
