I have always believed that dogs are furry angels because of their ability to touch our lives in ways we never could have anticipated.  In their soulful eyes is a divine love--pure and unconditional.  They possess the transcendent power to heal even the most wounded soul.  And, their undying faithfulness can transform our lives if we are willing to let them into our hearts.    How do I know?  Because of a tiny 2+ pound Golden Retriever that I rescued when he was just a few weeks old.  Not expected to survive he miraculously beat the odds, and during our six years together has taken up permanent residence in my heart.   He is MY furry angel, Cooper Monday.  Take a moment from your holiday preparations to watch this amazing video called Christmas Story--A Journey of the Angels.  It is a b...

     Holiday Celebrations In Arizona       A special Tucson tradition is El Nacimiento which is on display in La Casa Cordova at the Tucson Museum of Art.  El Nacimiento means The Birth and is a traditional Mexican nativity scene.  For centuries, joyful and colorful Christmas celebrations of Mexican families have centered around Nacimiento displays in their homes. This annual exhibition is an elaborate and very special version of cultural inheritance.  An intricate arrangement of hundreds of miniature figures combines the symbolism of the Spanish Colonial Catholic Church with the simplicity and faith of everyday existence in rural Mexico. Some of the scenes are from the Christmas story in the Bible; others show traditional Mexican village life with an accuracy that extends to the tiny r...

     Holiday Celebrations In Arizona       A cherished tradition that I shared with my family was bundling up in hats, gloves and coats and heading out to find our very own "perfect" Christmas Tree growing in the wild.  Of course those were the days when we were less conscious about our ecological footprint.  Today things are done a bit differently to protect our natural resources but that doesn't mean you can't be one of the lucky ones to enjoy what for many of us, is a family tradition of harvesting your own Christmas Tree.  In Arizona you must have a permit to cut a Christmas Tree.  Permits went on sale beginning on October 15 at the Big Five Sporting Goods stores for a cost of $15.  Additionally some Forest Service offices will sell over-the-counter Christmas Tree permits beginning ...

    Arizona's Centennial Celebration   #5 of 100 Things To See & Do In Arizona       Deep within the bowels of the earth in the Whetstone Mountains is a magical place 200,000 years in the making--a pristine limestone cave.  Here you will be able tour underground rooms filled with brawny stalactites, delicate soda straw formations and jewel like rocks in multi-colors.   Discovered in November 1974 by two young cavers, Gary Tenen and Randy Tufts, when they found a narrow crack at the bottom of a sinkhole leading into the hillside. The warm moist air that flowed from the crack signaled the existence of a cave. Curious, they crawled deeper and after several hours found the "live" limestone cave.  This underground wonder is home to a wide variety of unique minerals and formations, including:...

  Arizona's Centennial Celebration   #4 of 100 Things To See & Do In Arizona     Navajo National Monument features three of the most intact cliff dwellings of the ancestral people (Hisatsinom).  The Navajo people who live here today call these ancient ones, Anasazi.  The dwellings are nestled in the cliffs high on the Shonto plateau, overlooking the Tsegi Canyon system in the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona.   These ruins are villages left behind in 1300 by prehistoric pueblo Indians--the Kayenta Anazi.  Built and occupied for only 50 years, the ruins represent the final settlement farmers who adapted to the area's scarce rainfall to grow crops, build houses and raise families, then mysteriously moved on.  As you'll see by the video below, the half day round trip hike with a Ranger t...

  Can you feel the centennial excitement building?  In 2012 Arizona will celebrate its 100 year statehood birthday and I decided the best way to celebrate this memorable event is with a special blog series focused on all things Arizona.   The centerpiece of the blog series will be 100 places to see and things to do around the state.  The hard part will be narrowing it down to just 100 since this amazing State of ours could be the world's 8th wonder with its diverse eco systems, array of natural wonders and the raw beauty of the Sonoran Desert all set in the splendor of the great Southwest.  My goal is to make it a collection of places that inspire, motivate, educate, thrill and delight.  As many of you know who follow my blog, I have shared a number of my favorite spots with you in my s...
