An adventurous life isn't always about conquering a mountain, crossing a desert or even soaring through the skies with a parachute. At times it's about opening your eyes to find that the life you are seeking has come in search for you.

But . . .

How do you take the plunge and let the crest of the moment carry you when you are used to keeping a tight rein on time?

How do you tame the lioness within when motherhood exposes a fierce protectiveness and the sound that escapes your lips every time you open your mouth is a roar?

How do you fall into step with the beat and the rhythm of the dance when tango lessons in Buenos Aires become more about control and confronting fears?

A little imagination and a pen transform everyday experiences into fairy tales until they are exuding excitement and reeking of sweat until they become that extraordinary adventure right in the middle of an ordinary life.
