I'm your host Miranda Anderson, and I hope that each time you listen you feel a little

bit more free to live your life exactly the way you want to live it. Hey there, welcome to the Live Recreative Podcast.

I'm your host Miranda Anderson,

and happy new year.

It's 2019! How do you guys feel about that? My goodness, this last year was crazy and a

whirlwind and wonderful. And I'm excited today to jump into sharing some of my thoughts about my year in hopes that you will take some time even though the actual New Year's Eve and New Year's Day has passed,

I think we give ourselves a couple grace weeks, right, to look back and take some time to reflect

and think about the year that just passed.

We're often so caught up in what's happening in the day to day

or in our plans for the future

that we don't take just a minute to reflect on what worked, what

didn't, and what we could use, what lessons we could use from the past year as we

move forward in our lives. So today for episode 20 I want to share a 2018 year in

review with my wins and my needs for improvement and also an overview of all of the insane things that happened.

As I get started on this episode I want to share a magical adventure moment

that happened over the Christmas break.

Now if you're new to the show a magical adventure moment is a segment where I do where I just share a couple minutes of one specific moment in time that usually happened when we were traveling or off on an adventure that encompasses all of the wonder and excitement

and all of those good feelings that you can feel if you want to when you're out adventuring near or far. I share these moments

from my experience in hopes that you will be able to look for and be aware of magical adventure moments as they happen in your own life.

Dave and I decided to spend our Christmas holiday with the kids at a nearby ski

resort. We had not planned on going all the way home to visit family in Utah
