A Breath of Fresh Air, Big Sur & Carmel, Calif.

Last weekend, I hopped in the car on a ten minute notice to take a spontaneous hiking trip in Big Sur with Brie and Josh. When I lived in Monterey, Pfeiffer Beach and Julia Burns Park were places I always went to clear my head - and it didn’t matter if it was sunrise, sunset, sunny or shrouded in fog - I always left these places with a renewed sense of purpose. This trip was no different; the smell of the air, breathtaking natural scenery (the waves were insane!) and wonderful company left me with a high that has lasted all week. I feel so lucky to be happy, healthy and alive.
