Exploring Arizona and Connecting with Nature

In my last post I shared my experiences visiting the Grand Canyon and Sedona for the first time and how both places touched my heart.  The beautiful and diverse landscape that makes up Arizona provides residents and visitors alike with endless opportunities to reconnect with nature. Yesterday we visited the Hassayampa River Preserve in Wickenburg, Arizona.  It is a wooded oasis in the desert filled with cottonwood, willow, and mesquite trees.  Walking along the sandy trail and listening to the sounds of birds calling to one another in the tall trees offered a perfect respite from the hectic week that had just ended.  As we explored this beautiful habitat, I offered a silent prayer of appreciation to God, his angels, and to our beautiful planet for making this experience possible for me and my family.

I have included two photos from our hike to the Hassayampa Nature Preserve-it’s a beautiful place that is definitely worth the visit.   My spirit feels renewed and ready to face the challenges of the coming work week.  No matter who you are or where you call home, I pray that you are able to seek out opportunities to find joy and balance in the week ahead.
