“It is impossible to live without failing at something – unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default”. – J.K. Rowling This week has been a bit hairy so I thought I’d post some of my favorite photos of mountains I’ve hiked as they always calm my soul. Photos above from France, Nepal and Guatemala. This fall, I will be adding Bolivia to my list […]

A Spectrum of Color

April 5, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Perhaps one of the most stunning things about traveling is the vivid hues of colors you find, oftentimes in the most unexpected places. From the aquamarine blues of the inside of a glacier in Iceland to the rainbow colors of the Buddhist prayer flags in Nepal, there is always a surprise of color awaiting the curious eye. In response to the Weekly Photo Challenge “Colors”, I carefully selected some of my most favorite finds from my travels. Hope you enjoy […]

Desperately awaiting Spring

March 19, 2013 by thirdeyemom

I should understand by now that the long-awaited arrival of Spring in Minnesota is a temperamental thing. Last year at this time, it was unseasonably warm and we were basking in the sun wearing shorts and t-shirts. This year, we are buried under snow and below zero wind chills. Minnesotans are getting frustrated and stir crazy. After five long months of winter, we just want to be outside listening to the birds sing and watching in awe as color and […]

From Pampas to Plains

February 27, 2013 by thirdeyemom

I haven’t felt up to writing much today as I’m still battling a persistent, stubborn sinus infection that is making me tired, somewhat grumpy and not 100%. Yet in times of illness, I always remind myself that things could always be worse. Much worse. So it is important to be positive and put my plugged ears and stuffed up head into perspective! That said, I wanted to do a quick post of inspiration. On Sunday, Jakesprinter’s Travel Theme was Plains. I […]

“Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties”. - Helen Keller Today’s Weekly Photo Challenge is quite fitting for the launch of a new year: Resolved.

Peace in the Himalayas

December 2, 2012 by thirdeyemom

“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him”. - Buddha

Inspiration

November 21, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Two years ago to this date, I was on a journey that changed my life forever. An unforgettable trip to Nepal that in many ways connected every meandering path together into the one long journey that is my life. My trip to Nepal filled me with a sense of purpose, direction and mission like no other trip before. It touched the inner depths of my heart and soul in almost a religious matter. It left me wanting, yearning, and needing […]

The Magic of Hidden Places

November 21, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Often when I travel, I am drawn to the unexpected surprises of places hidden beneath the non-attentive eye. From the mysterious hutongs of Beijing to the labyrinthine of a souq in Morocco, there is always a surprising hidden place to explore. Perhaps these hidden places open a window into the unknown about the foreign culture you are visiting. Yet they always seem to leave me questioning, thinking and guessing about what it is really like behind these hidden windows of […]
